How to Use Gimp Eyelashes
The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a free, open source image editing software that maintains some of the functionality of expensive products, such as Photoshop. Pre-designed brushes are available, made especially for GIMP, as well as Photoshop brushes can be loaded and used in GIMP. The brushes, available online for download, allow users to create a stylized effect with little artistic ability. GIMP eyelash brushes help in the retouching of photos, allowing you to place thicker, fuller eyelashes on a person in a picture.

Select the brush tool from the "Toolbar." Use the brush as close to where you want it on the eye as possible. Make adjustments with the "Scale" and "Rotate" tools under the "Transform" section in the menu, "Tools." Play around with the settings until you have the lashes as you would like them, in position and appearance.
