How to apply fake lashes

There is one thing you need to know about applying strip lashes: glue needs to be in TWO places for the lashes to stay on well. 

Here's what you'll need:

Strip lashes
Lash glue (black)
Q-tips (long)
Tweezers (dull!)






Step-by-step lash application by Jessica deBen

First, bend your strip lash together so it will be bent to fit the curve of your lashline. Then hold the lash near your real lashes (without glue) to see if they fit your eyes. You'll probably have to trim them.

Then, use the wooden end of the Q-tip and drag glue on your lashline. You'll basically make an eyeliner out of the glue. Then apply glue to the band of the strip lash. You now have TWO lines of tacky lash glue: one on your eye and one on the band of the lash. When the two lines of glue get pressed together, they won't come apart so make sure you place them on quickly and precisely. Use tweezers for this.

The final step is covering the band of the lash with black eyeliner. The image on the bottom left shows the lash band before its been covered. The image on the right has been covered.

I do all this lash work after eyeshadow. I would wait to put concealer and foundation on AFTER you do your eye makeup and lash application. The lashes go well with bold shadow and a defined lip.
