Here's what I do:

* I practice applying the false lashes before I apply the glue to them. This helps me get a feel for where I want to apply them and how I want them to look. New ones usually are already a bit sticky so it makes it easier for you to see what they will look like once you glue them on.

* Once I get the feel for it. I apply a very small amount of glue along the lash band.

* I apply the lashes as close as I can to my natural lash line. Next I take and squeeze the false lashes at base down against my lash line. I use my ring finger and my thumb but use what works best for you. It's like a squeeze press release motion. I don't hold my fingers there because I don't the glue to dry on them. I do this all way across. You might want to practice this before apply the glue. Keep in mind most lash glue does not dry right away. They say to wait 30seconds before applying I usually wait about 10 since I play around with the lashes once I get them on.

*Wait just a few mintues and they will be dry.

* I usually do the false lashes before I do my eye makeup but after I apply my eye base primer and under eye concealer. Sometimes I get a bit messy with the lashes and helps if I ever need to clean up any glue off my eyes.

*If once you get the lashes and you can see the band or have a small space between your lashes and false lashes take a black eyeliner and fill it in or go over the lash band.

*For Mascara if I am using just plain false lashes I will apply the mascara after the false lashes but if I am using lashes that have glitter tips or something besides just plain lashes I will the mascara before the false lashes. The reason why is I have found I usually get mascara on the false lashes and on the glitter parts. It can be tricky to apply the false lashes with mascara already on your lashes but it's not impossible.


Most of all just have fun!!!!
