When Girl Meets 30

Best Way To Apply Fake Eyelashes

June 28, 2011 By Erin Kennedy 5 Comments

I don’t know about you gals, but I don’t believe that fake eyelashes really become popular until we were in our late 20’s or into our 30’s already. I have tried them a couple of times, but it always seems to be a little difficult. I decided to look to a 20-year-old to find out the tips to make them look right, and not feel as though they will be sticking me in the eye all day.

Are you a pro at putting fake lashes on? Or, do you need help like me?

Here are her main tips:

  • Before glue, place the fake eyelashes on your own lashes to make sure they are a good length and not poking you in the eye. If you need to trim them, trim from the outside in with small scissors. 
  • Use eyeliner on your eyelid first (liquid works best) so in case there are any parts that did not glue onto your eyelid, it will not be noticeable.
  • Apply mascara before the lashes. If you put mascara on the fake lashes you can’t really use them again.
  • Use the eyelash glue like a palette. She uses the back of her tweezers and paints the fake lashes and make sure it is coated, especially the ends. Wait a minute or 2 so the glue is a tacky consistency. 
  • Apply and look down. Use your fingers or tweezers. Push the ends in. If you don’t get it right the first time, that is okay, it might take a couple tries. Use your tweezers to push it in and down. 
  • Go over the band again with the liner. It will cover the glue and make it look as though they are more natural.
  • When you take them off, pull them slowly from the ends. Pick off the glue and you should be able to wear them 4-5 times.

    I love falsies! It totally gives me a different look. I use tweezers to apply them. Makes the easier to hold. I also use Beauty so Clean sanitizer to clean and reuse once or twice.

    You are so welcome Kelly. Thanks!

    Life.Love.Inspire, that is a good idea to sanitize wear them again. I need to start doing that!

    xoxo
