Adding lashes is the cherry on top of every look. It pulls the entire makeup look together. Even if you are not wearing a full face of makeup, this simple step will take your eyes to the next level.
Once you master the art of applying false eyelashes, it’s safe to say your makeup game will forever be strong.
We put together a simple 6 step guide to help you on your journey to applying the perfect false lash.
Before we get started let’s cover some of the basics….
Lash application tools you will need:
- Tweezers or lash applicator
- We recommend using a lash applicator to help you get closer to your lash line and maneuver the band to make it the most comfortable for you.
- If an applicator seems too intimidating, feel free to use your fingers!
- Scissors
- Not all eyes are the same size. So here’s your opportunity to trim your lashes to best fit your eyes.
- Lash adhesive
- If you make a mistake, don’t stress, it’s easy to gently peel off the lash and reapply it at anytime.
- Your favorite pair of PL lashes
Steps:
Measure
- Using a ruler will make it easier than ever to ensure your lashes fit your eye perfectly every time.
*Pro tip: Make a dot on the ruler so you don’t have to remember your lash measurements.
Trim
2. Once you have measured the width of your eye, hold your lash up to the ruler, and trim your lashes to fit your shape. Trim any part of the lash that extends past the outer corner of your eye. If the lash extends past the outer corner it will make your eyes appear droopy and we do not want that! Trim the lash to exactly your eye size.
Glue
3. Brush on a generous amount of glue along the lash band focusing more on the inner and outer ends of the lash. Wait about 30 seconds for the glue to get tacky before applying.
Place
4. When you are ready to apply your lashes, look downward in a mirror and apply them using a lash applicator. Looking down will ensure that your eyelid is showing the most surface space to get the lashes as close to your lash line. Looking straight ahead can cover the skin closest to your lash line and cause you to place the lash too high.
Adjust
5. Set the lash band in the middle of your lash line. Next, secure the outer end of the lash band and save the inner corner for last. This might take a little time to get everything comfortably in place. Remember to take your time and be as precise as you can.
Finish
6. TA-DA! You have applied your falsies! Blink your eyes, look side to side, up and down making sure nothing is poking you. If something is bothering you, you can always peel them off and start again.
