Make It Lash: False Eyelash Application Tips.

January 17, 2013/

I have always had a problem applying false eyelashes. I am determined to learn how to this year. Hopefully with these great eyelash application tips that I just got from MAKE UP FOR EVER's Pro and Media Educator, Lijha Stewart, I will be applying like a pro in now time.

False Eyelash Application Tips

Select a Lash For Your Eye Shape
Think about your own eye shape and the space you have between your lash line and brows. This space tells you how long of a lash you can pull off.

Trim Your Lashes
Your false lash should start and stop where your natural last begins and ends.

Let Your Glue Get Tacky
After you apply glue to your lashes, wait at least 8 seconds before you attempt to apply them to your eye.

Applying
Make sure you have enough space to work in. Get close to the mirror, throw your head back so you have ample space to work. Anchor the center of the lash first, then attach the inner and outer corner.

Get Close to the Lash Line
After the lash is placed, use the back of a small brush to move the lash closer to your lash line.

MAKE UP FOR EVER has a huge selection of false lashes available at MAKE UP FOR EVER boutiques and Sephora. Whether you are looking for an everyday natural looking lash, an evening dramatic lash, or even one just for fun, MUFE has you covered.
