How to Put On Fake Eyelashes

Put on fake eyelashes in just a few minutes.

If you're not getting the full, luscious lashes you want with regular mascara, give fake eyelashes a try. They'll give you long, thick, dark eyelashes that will last throughout the night. Although their effect is dramatic and attractive, many girls are intimidated by fake eyelashes, thinking they'll be too difficult to properly apply. Don't worry, though -- fake eyelashes can be applied using a few simple steps. You'll be batting those gorgeous lashes in no time.

Things You'll Need

• Mascara
• Eyelash curlers
• False eyelashes
• Small scissors
• Lash glue

Instructions

1. Apply a coat of regular mascara to your lashes, which will help bind the fake eyelashes to your natural ones. Use a color of mascara that matches the fake eyelashes. Curl your lashes with the eyelash curler.

2. Remove the false eyelashes from the box and trim one end at an angle so that the lashes are the right width -- too-wide false lashes can poke your eye and be uncomfortable.

3. Squeeze lash glue (which should come with the fake eyelashes) onto the lash line of the false lashes. Use a small amount.

4. Beginning at the outer corner of your eye, use your index finger to place the false lashes along your natural lash line. The longest lashes on the false set should correspond to the outer corners of your eyes. Continue to lightly press with your index finger or a cotton swab until the lashes are completely applied.

5. Use your fingers to lightly press the real lashes and fake lashes together to blend them, then apply the rest of your eye makeup as usual, including another coat of mascara.

Tips & Warnings

• Tinted eyelash glue is great because it blends in with eyeliner and mascara.

• be careful when you're gluing things to your eye and waving tweezers around. its best to have a steady hand and a quiet location so you dont stab your eye out.
