Now that you know the WHICH TO’S here are 7 easy steps to HOW TO’S to achieve more fuller yet natural looking false lashes.

1.    Peek - A – Boo! The first step is to look at your own eyelashes. How do they look? Are they short, thin, long, thick, or average? Depending on the look and condition of your natural eyelashes, you’ll want to get falsies that are somewhat similar to your own lashes so that they can easily blend in with the false ones.

2.    Shop Till you Drop! Size Does Matter! Because in order to get the right type of lashes it is important that you check out a pair of lashes that are similar to your own but has a relatively thin band. You wouldn’t want to get a pair of lashes that has a thick band since they need to be applied very close to the natural lash line for a more real look, which can be fairly difficult if you are a newbie. Don’t forget to get the lash adhesive!

3.     Size Does Matter! Because in order to achieve the natural lash look is important that the false lash easily fits your lashline and the edges doesn’t come out from the sides. So it is important that you carefully peel one lash strip off the packaging and measure it. It’s most likely that the lashes you bought are too long for your eye so get some scissors and trim the outer edges of the strip. Similarly, if the lashes are too long for your liking, you can also trim the length. But remember that you should not cut the inner strip because it contains some shorter lashes that help the falsies look more natural.

4.    Gettin’ Sticky with It! apply a thin line of eyelash adhesive to the band. Though the glue looks white when you first apply it, don’t worry because it gets transparent as it dries off and easily blends in with your eyelashes. You can either wait for the glue to dry off a little bit and then apply your false lashes strip on it or you can even apply them while it’s still wet. Either way it doesn’t go wrong.

5.    Lash Out! As this suggests is the hardest of all steps especially if you are new at this. If your falsies happened to come with an applicator, you can use that to pick up the lash and set it as close to your natural lash line as possible. If not, you can use tweezers or your fingers to pick up the lashes and set down one corner at a time and hold on while you go towards the other corner of the eye. Remember that you are supposed to apply your eye makeup before you put your lashes on. If necessary you can always go back and fix your eye shadow. But applying it after you have applied your lashes would give it a very tacky and uneven look. 

6.    Get Your Curl on, Gurl! It is important to fuse your natural lashes and false lashes together with an eyelash curler. This will help them to blend in and look more natural. After this apply an eyeliner so that the line where the false lashes are stuck is no longer visible.

7. The Massacre! The last and final step is to apply mascara. This step also helps to make your falsies look more natural by further blending the natural and false lashes together as well as helping give your eyes more of a pop!

So now that you know how to apply eyelashes are you ready to try out some natural looking false lashes?! It might be frustrating at first, but it gets easier with practise and time. Remember, if you want to reuse your false eyelashes you can do so but remember to take them off gently so that you don’t tear them apart and ruin them. It is also important that you clean them in order to avoid any sort of infection or discomfort upon applying them again.

False eyelashes never go out of fashion ever! No matter what the season and/or time and era. What does change is the styles in which one can apply the lashes. If done right the end results of false eyelashes are priceless! There is no easier way to achieve a dramatic look for eyes or just turn your look up a notch for a special event or even for a normal day at work.
