Ensure your false eyelashes are clean and free from any previous adhesive.
Measure and trim the lashes to fit your eye shape if needed.
2. Choose the Right Adhesive:
Use a high-quality adhesive that is designed for false eyelashes.
Choose clear or black adhesive based on your preference and the eyeliner or eyeshadow you plan to use.
3. Apply Eyeliner (Optional):
Applying eyeliner before attaching the lashes can help create a seamless look and hide the lash band.
Ensure the eyeliner is dry before proceeding to the next step.
4. Squeeze a Small Amount of Glue:
Squeeze a small amount of adhesive onto a clean surface or the back of your hand. A tiny drop is usually sufficient.
5. Use Tweezers or Applicator Tool:
Hold the false eyelashes with tweezers or an applicator tool near the base of the lashes.
6. Apply Adhesive to the Lash Band:
Using a toothpick, the back of a makeup brush, or the applicator tip, apply a thin and even layer of adhesive along the entire lash band. Ensure you cover the edges.
7. Wait for the Glue to Get Tacky:
Allow the adhesive to become slightly tacky before applying the lashes. This usually takes about 20-30 seconds, but it may vary depending on the glue type.
8. Position the Lashes:
Using the tweezers or applicator tool, position the false lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start by placing the center of the lash band and then secure the edges.
9. Press and Secure:
Gently press down along the entire lash band to ensure it adheres to your natural lashes. Pay extra attention to the inner and outer corners.
10. Adjust if Needed:
If necessary, use the tweezers to adjust the placement of the lashes while the glue is still slightly tacky.
11. Blend with Mascara (Optional):
After the glue has completely dried, you can apply mascara to blend your natural lashes with the false lashes for a seamless look.
12. Touch-ups (Optional):
If there are any visible gaps or if the lashes are not perfectly aligned, you can make minor adjustments using the tweezers.
Tips:
Precision is Key: Apply the adhesive sparingly to avoid excess glue on your lashes.
Patience is a Virtue: Allow the glue to become tacky before applying the lashes to ensure better adhesion.
Practice Makes Perfect: If you are new to applying false lashes, practice a few times to get the hang of it.
