To borrow a well used phrase, if the eyes are the windows to the soul then surely the eyelashes must be the decoratively trimmed curtains. Nothing quite dresses your face and makes a dramatic impact like lashes.
If you haven’t been blessed with long lush ones, then a neatly applied line of lash can open your eyes and make you look even more beautiful. Even if you have lashes to be proud of, boosting them with individual strands can create drama and impact.
But if you’re wondering where to start, then follow our simple guide to achieving an eye-popping look.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Before you start make sure you’ve got the right tools. You are going to need: lash glue, tweezers, to help you position and a make up brush to pad the lash down. Have a piece of paper nearby so you can place your lashes on them. You’ll also need a magnifying mirror so you can accurately see what you’re doing and get the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible.
Buy some cheap lashes to start with so you can practice without wasting a fortune on good ones. That way once you’ve got the technique down to a fine art you can move on to the real deal.
When using tweezers dip the base end of the lashes into the glue. Alternatively if you have an applicator in the glue tube, hold the lash with the tweezers and run the applicator over the edge of the lash.
Place the lash close to the baseline of your lash, starting from the outer edge, working your way in.
Hold the lash, pressing gently with the blunt edge of a eye shadow brush.
You should be holding it down after for at least 5-10 seconds.
Once the lash glue has dried then apply some eyeliner along the lash line
to smooth and even out. It will also cover up any traces of glue.
Finally, apply some mascara to the lash, which will blend your natural lash
with the falsies and create a dramatic and glamorous look.
To remove the lashes, use tweezers to gently pull them off. Depending on
your lash type, you may be able to use them again, especially as you’re an expert now.
