Lashes, Lashes Everywhere!



How to Wear False Lashes-

I have been rocking false lashes for over 15 years. I tried them once and it was love at first blink. They just provide instant glamor and sexy. Now you do you have to find the right pair for the look you want and get the right size for your eye. If they are too long trim them.

You can choose from a variety of lengths, fullness and band or individual lashes. I like medium length, fuller band lashes. But its up to you. Once you find the right lash then you have to work on applying them cleanly. These may take you a couple times but here are some steps to help you along the way.

1.Squeeze eyelash glue onto the back of your hand and run the eyelash along it. Blow softly from edge to edge to make the glue a little less runny to apply your lashes. Try not to pick up to much glue.

2.Pick the lashes up with tweezers and bring it as close to your natural lash line as possible. Place it right in front of the lash line on the lashes.

3.Press from end to end using the point of an angled makeup brush. Hold until the glue dries (30 seconds to a minute, or sometimes less depending upon the adhesive). This allows the glue to set.

4. Wipe a mascara wand on towel and then apply some more mascara with the false lash on (previously you applied mascara to your natural lashes). This helps to blend the lashes with your natural ones.

5. Make sure to bring your glue if you ever end up with a runaway lash. :)
