Beauty Bar 101: How to Apply False Lashes

False lashes. We all have a hate-love relationship with these bad boys, until we master the technique of how to apply them without getting them damaged that is. In this blog we will teach you beauty lovers how to apply false lashes with ease; just follow our simple steps!

STEP ONE: EYELASH CURLER

Using a eyelash curler curl your lashes by –

1. Press the curler on the roots of your lashes and hold for 10-20 seconds (depending on the thickness of your lashes). The eyelash curler should be held horizontally.

2. Slightly open the curler and rotate it to a vertical position. Press again holding it for 10-20 seconds.

STEP TWO: MASCARA

Apply any mascara to your lashes for an extra BOOM effect. Applying mascara to your lashes will also allow your lashes to blend more with your false lashes once applied. Typically most girls use their least favourite mascara for this step, as your lashes will mostly be covered up.

STEP THREE: TRIM

Trim your false lashes for a perfect fit by –

1. Pick your false lash up and measure it next to your eye, making sure you line the lash up starting from your inner-lash area.

2. Once the lash is lined up to your eye you will be able to notice how much (if any) needs to be trimmed.

3. Using scissors trim off the amount of lashes from the OUTTER side of the lash. If unsure about the amount needed to be trimmed then only trim a bit, measure again and trim once more if need be.

STEP FOUR: GLUE

Using the lash glue –

1. Line the lash from end to end with the glue. Make sure you have used enough glue other wise the lash won't stick properly, don’t over use the glue either. A thin line of glue covering the entire section should be enough.

2. Wait for the glue to get tacky. You can either wait it out or speed up this process by blowing on the glued area, using a hair dryer for a few seconds or waving the lash in the air as if it is a paper fan.
