How to Apply False Eyelashes For a Bigger and Brighter Eye

False eyelashes can help make your eyelashes look longer and thicker. Having longer and thicker eyelashes can actually help your eye appear bigger and brighter. False eyelashes are a great addition when you have a special event that you want to too look extra nice for. Here is how you can apply false eyelashes to make your eyes bigger and brighter.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• False eyelashes
• Eyelash glue
• Tweezers
• Mascara
• Mirror

1. Take your false eyelashes and hold them up to your eye in a mirror. If they are longer than your natural length of your eye, you will need to cut them down to the correct size. This can be done with a sharp pair of scissors if needed.

2. Apply a small thin line of eyelash glue to the back of the false eyelashes. Make sure that the glue is not running off the eyelashes. If you are having a hard time getting the eyelash glue on the false eyelashes, you can also put a thin line of eyelash glue on your finger and then press the false eyelashes into the glue.

3. Using tweezers, apply the false eyelashes as close as possible to the natural lash line of your eye. Don't worry if about sticking it down tightly, but just get it on your eyelash line.

4. Press and hold the false eyelashes in each corner using your fingers. Hold the false eyelashes down for approximately 1 minute until the eyelash glue has dried to your eyelid.

5. Apply your mascara to your false eyelashes to help them bond into your eyelid even more. If your false eyelashes don't appear to be shaped right, you can use an eyelash curler to shape them.

6. Follow the same steps as above for applying your false eyelashes to your other eye.

7. Apply the rest of your eye makeup as usual. If you are using eye liner, make sure to use caution so that you do not pull your false eyelashes off your eye.

Tips & Warnings

• Be careful not to get eyelash glue in your eye, as it will burn. If this happens, take off the false eyelashes and run water over your eye to flush the glue out.
• Make sure that your hands and tweezers are clean as you can easily get an infection in your eye if you are using dirty or contaminated tweezers or your fingers are dirty.
