The Makeup Case is starting a new section which we are calling “How to…” A section outlining steps to achieve different makeup styles, hairstyles you name it and we will try to write about it. The first cab off the rank in “How to” is applying false eyelashes. So here we go;
Before false lashes have been applied.
The first step is to apply all your eye makeup; eye shadow, eyeliner and yes you still should apply some mascara. To apply false lashes you will need a few tools; tweezers, eyelash glue, lashes and scissors. The first thing that you need to do is measure the false lashes against your eye. Falsies come in many different sizes so you may need to trim a bit of the length so they fit.
After you have done your measuring squirt out a little bit of glue onto a tissue and holding the falsies with tweezers sweep the top bit of the lash through it. You will notice the lashes have smaller hairs at one end and longer hairs at the other, apply the side with the smaller lashes to the inside of the eyes.
You should then blow a little air onto the glue just so it doesn’t run and the glue goes a little stickier. Close your eye and apply the lashes with tweezers. Keep your eyes closed for a couple of minutes until the glue dries. Once you feel that it has, slowly open your eye, check out your handy work and start all over again on the other side.
After false lashes have been applied.
After.
There are many brands of false lashes out there and if you are only going to use them a single time I suggest you go with Manicare. You can get false lashes that will last you up to 10 uses if you look after them well enough from M.A.C, Gorgeous and The Makeup Store.
If there is any other technique you would love us to show in “How to..” we would love to hear from you.
RRP: $8.00 – $30.00 Depending on the quality and if the lashes are real hairs or fake hairs.
