How Do I Adhere False Eyelashes?

It takes practice to adhere false eyelashes properly.

Whether you wear your false eyelashes every day or just once in a while for a special occasion, it takes some skill to adhere them to your eye lids. The more practice you get putting them on, the better you will get. It can be intimidating because the eye area is so sensitive, but with a few simple steps you can learn to seamlessly adhere false eyelashes.

Things You'll Need

• Eyelash glue
• Slant edge tweezers

Instructions

1. Clean eyelashes and apply all other eye make up, except for mascara, which will go on after you adhere the false eyelashes.

2. Squeeze a tiny drop of glue on the back of your hand. Pick up a cluster of lashes with the tweezers and dip the end into the glue. Leave it on for about 15 seconds so the glue gets sticky.

3. Tip your head back and carefully find your lash line. Working from the outside to the inside of the lash line, adhere the cluster of lashes directly onto the lash line, not above or below it.

4. Let the first cluster dry and continue adding more lash clusters, working in. Do not add more than five clusters to each eye.

5. Let the lashes dry for five minutes and then apply your mascara.

Tips & Warnings

• If you make a mistake, gently pull the lash cluster off, re-apply some glue and start again.
