Application Steps
- Decide what look you're seeking.
- Choose a style or color that reflects the occasion.
- Check their length. Full lashes should follow the natural line of your own lashes. Trim them with sharp scissors to accommodate your needs.
- Begin with clean eyes, free of makeup and oils.
- Hold the lashes in your hand and apply a very thin line of glue or adhesive along the base; let it sit for one minute. Begin with a minimal amount of glue, adding more if needed.
- Look into a mirror, either on the wall or placed on a countertop. Apply the false lashes above your eyelashes, as close to your lash line as possible, following its natural curve.
- Adjust the lashes with your fingertips, tweezers or a toothpick.
- If you're using lash clumps (enhancements), place them at the outside corners of your upper lashes (one or two per eye should suffice). Adjust their position with a toothpick, fingers or tweezers.
- Apply eye makeup. You may find your new lashes dramatic enough without mascara, so take a good look in the mirror first.
- Practice a few times before your debut. This is a challenging beauty trick to master, but a dress rehearsal should make for a smash opening.
