Applying Adhesive for False Eyelashes

Video Transcript

"In this clip I'm going to show you how to apply the adhesive to the strip. There is different adhesive types that you can use. There is one that comes in the eyelash packaging but sometimes the eyelashes come without it so you want to have some Duo on hand. Duo is a surgical adhesive so it's really safe to use around the eyes. So you are going to want to apply a little bit of Duo to either a q-tip, this is a mascara wand, and just apply a little bit, take your lash and just roll the adhesive right along the strip, to make sure you get the corners and the inside really well. So you are going to want to look down and start at the outer corner and just line up the lashes. So start with the outer corner of the lashes and then press it down and work your way into the inner corner. And you want to get as close to your natural lash line as possible. And don't worry about the white adhesive because that's going to dry clear. And the stronger lashes are usually a little more expensive then the more inexpensive lashes are a little harder to shape around the eye. And look up. Ok. And now let's do the other eye. So you're going to roll the adhesive onto the strip. Make sure you get the corners and then let it get tacky for a second. Start with the outer corner and line it up. And then move on in to the inner corner. And don't worry about the adhesive cause that's going to dry clear. And make sure you really get those corners down. And a nice little trick that you can, you can do is keep a toothpick and the adhesive in your handbag for the night so if those corners come up you can just put a little adhesive on to the toothpick and just touch them right up. And that's how you apply the false lashes."
