How to Cut Eyelashes

Instructions

    • 1

      Purchase a makeup mirror that magnifies your features. This will make it easier to see which eyelashes to cut and how much. Cutting too much may cause your eyelashes to grow back slower than usual or not at all. It's important to trim, but not pull the eyelash from its root. Using a mirror that allows you to see individual eyelashes clearly will help you avoid making any mistakes while trimming.

      Use a small pair of scissors so you can trim individual eyelashes. Small scissors will also reduce the risk of pulling the eyelash out. Start on the outside of the eye and gently trim your eyelashes to the desired length. Don't trim too much or your eyelashes will appear to have disappeared.

    • 3

      Trim both sets of eyelashes. Look in the mirror to make sure that your eyelashes are even. Rinse your eyes with water to remove any eyelash hairs that may be on your face or near your eyes.

    • 4

      Use an eyelash curler to bend your eyelashes in the desired shape. Apply one coat of mascara. Your eyelashes should look full and thick.

    • 5

      Trim your eyelashes every six months or when they begin to grow back. If your eyelashes have not grown much, don't trim them again until the lashes become a nuisance.

Tips & Warnings

  • Trim your eyelashes slowly to avoid plucking or damaging the lashes.

  • If you have short eyelashes, trimming them will not make them grow in thicker and fuller. Consider using a mascara with thickening agents to give you the appearance of larger eyelashes.
