Easy Evening Eyelashes

How to properly apply false eyelashes for the holiday season.

Have you ever wondered how to get those long, full lashes? Do you go to holiday parties and wonder why everyone’s eyelashes look amazing and yours do not? Follow these six easy steps to apply flawless false eyelashes.

1. Length Matters
Hold the false eyelashes up to your eye; making sure that the end with the shorter lashes is in the corner of your eye. Then check to see if the length of the false eyelashes are the same length of your eyelid, if it is too long then cut the excess off the end with the longer lashes.
2. Tidy Tips
After adjusting the length of the lash line on the false eyelashes, make sure you apply all your other eye make-up, except eyeliner (that is to be done after the false eyelash is applied) before applying the actually false eyelashes. This will make sure you do not get unwanted powder from the eye shadow on the false eyelashes.
3. Sticky Icky
To properly apply the eyelash glue, squeeze a little glue onto a plastic surface and with an opened bobby pin evenly spread a thin layer of the eyelash glue onto the lash line of the false eyelashes. But only put a little bit of glue onto the bobby pin because you do not want glue running down the lashes.
4. Close But No Cigar
Then place the false eyelashes as close to your own lash line as you can. Try not to get any extra glue on your eyelid, but if you do it is easy to peel off when the glue has dried. Remember to place the end with the shorter lashes in the corner of your eye.
5. Perfect Placement
Now that the false eyelashes are on your eyelid, use the other side of the opened bobby pin to push the false eyelashes into the lash line of your real eyelashes. Making sure that you cannot see the lash line of the false eyelashes on your eyelid. This will guarantee a perfect line between your real lash line and the false lash line and will trick everyone into thinking they are your real lashes.
6. Final Touches
Now that the false eyelashes are in place, apply a thin layer of mascara just to give more colour and to create depth with gives the lashes a fuller look. This will be the final step to complete the look of the lashes. If you wear eyeliner this is the time to apply it, obviously when the mascara has dried.

I guarantee that you will end up with flawless false eyelashes following these six easy and quick steps. All your friends will want to know how you achieved such a perfect lash, but do not tell because it is your little secret!
