False Eyelash Tutorial~

Hi everyone! ^^

A friend of mine asked me for a tutorial on how to put on false eyelashes, so here is it! Just a quick tutorial with mostly pretty basic stuff, along with a few tips that I find useful, so hopefully this will be helpful to some people! :D

Things You Need

Fake Eyelashes (Duh XD)

Eyelash Glue (Must be of decent quality!!! More about this later)

Tweezers (Optional)

Any other makeup you want to wear~

Before putting on the eyelashes, I would recommend applying all the other makeup you’re planning to wear. Make sure to curl your eyelashes and put mascara on them (especially if your eyelashes are not black), so that they blend in with the false ones!

When it comes to eyelash glue, never use the ones that come with the eyelashes, unless they are of very good quality, which many are not. Make sure to buy some proper eyelash glue. Glue that is of bad quality will not stick properly, and even if it does, it will not last for very long and become very annoying, it’s worth buying a proper one!

You don't even need to buy an expensive one, the ones that I have used in the past have all been around $5 and they work very well! ^^

Apply an even line of the glue along the base of the eyelash. Make sure to cover the base well, without applying too much, or it will take too long to dry.

One of the most common mistakes people seem to make when putting on fake eyelashes is not waiting for the glue to dry a bit before try to stick them on. After applying the glue, blow on the glue and wait until it is half transparent (About 10-20 seconds) before trying to put them on! If you do not wait for the glue to dry, it is much less sticky and does not stick as well.

When you the glue is half dried, use either your fingers or tweezers (I don’t use them, but I know that some people like to) to position the eyelash along the curve of your eye, and stick it down, making sure to keep some pressure on it until it is completely glued on and does not move. I prefer to stick my eyelashes about 0.5cm away from the inner corner of my eye as that is more comfortable~

Top layer done!

If you want to apply more layers , make sure to stick them right above the first layer so that it doesn’t end up looking weird~

The next part is regarding bottom eyelashes~

If you choose to wear them, the method is almost the same as applying top eyelashes.

First, apply the glue as evenly as possible, waiting about 20 seconds for the glue to become more sticky before sticking them on. Bottom eyelashes tend to be harder to fit onto your eye so make sure that they are positioned correctly before sticking them on!

If you wearing wearing eyeliner on the bottom lid which does not follow your natural lashline very closely, stick the eyelashes closer to the eyeliner’s edge, as this will make the shape of the eyeliner seem more convincing~

And you’re done!

I hope that this will help a few people~ :3
