"Hey I'm Chelsea Bagozzi with Suburbanheresy.com and we're here today talking about beauty and makeup tips. Right now we are going to talk a little bit about false eye lashes and how to use them and how to put them on. False eyelashes can add so much to photography and just everyday wear sometimes. A good time to wear them is whenever you're going to have your pictures taken it will really enhance your eyes and also your lashes. They don't always have to look false. A lot of the time they look really natural if you buy the right kind. There's so many different ones that you can pick from; these ones right here that I'm going to put on Nicole. We already have one on one side so you can kind of see the difference between both eyes, and how it enhances her eyes and brings them out. You can see this lash right here, it has different sizes some of them are short and some of them are long; and that's how our natural lashes are. Choosing lashes like this are going to look a little more natural. If you want something a little more funky there's funkier lashes that you can choose. You can do something like these that are thick and really long and they're really going to enhance your eyelashes and look more like a doll. These are great for Halloween, and if you are doing some kind of a funky photo shoot or something like that. These are really fun. For everyday wear or for you know your wedding, or for a photo shoot ,or if you are getting your pictures taken you know family photos or whatever. Eyelashes can really enhance your look and make you look really beautiful so you can really see the difference in both of her eyes on how with those lashes on. I have these lashes and I've already trimmed them so that they will fit her eyes. They were a little bit to long for her so I trimmed them from the long side. You always want the short side to be on the inner corner of the eye because that's how it will look most natural and so I've trimmed them and they're ready to go. So I'm just going to go ahead and apply the glue. I just take the glue and I just kind of rub it across the lash line and get a nice thin coating. The glue works best when it set for a couple of seconds, because it becomes more tacky and then it's easier for them to stick on. So while it's getting tacky I'm just going to work these back and forth in the shape of her eye. That will be a lot easier to drop them on her lashes and just press them right into the lash line. She's going to close her eyes and I'm just going to push these right up into her lash line. Then I'm just going to use my small angle brush and press it in. This is so fine and thin that it's easier then using your fingers on somebody else. When applying them to yourself you can take your fingers and pinch them to your natural lashes and that makes it a lot easier. It's easier to apply them to other people than it is to apply them to yourself. If you just pinch them onto your own lashes all the way across then they'll stick a lot better. When you are applying them to somebody else, I'm just going to go ahead and press these right in. "Open your eye, look up" Then it's normal for some of the lashes to stick together you just kind of pull them apart. You can see that there's still a little bit of glue there but that's ok because the glue will dry clear. I'm also going to take a little bit of eye shadow with my angle brush and I'm just going to press it along her lash line. That's going to help make her lash line and the false lashes look natural. "Alright open"; Alright, So there we go perfect false eyelashes."
