"Hey, I'm Chelsea Bagozzi with SuburbanHeresy.com and I'm here with my model Diana, and we're doing some beauty and makeup tips. And right now we're going to, we're going to apply some false lashes. So these are the lashes that I'm going to be using and I'm just going to carefully peel them off, the tray. And the first thing you want to do when applying lashes, is make sure that they are the right length. Because they usually make them a little bit long so you can trim them to fit your eyes. So I'm going to have Diana close her eyes for me. I'm going to set this on here and I can see that they are a little bit too long. So I'm going to trim from the outside, I'm just going to take off a couple of the lashes. And you can actually save these and use them for the bottom or use them as single lashes or whatever. So don't throw them away. Alright, so we've trimmed them and now I'm going to apply the lash glue. And you just apply it right along the rim. And you make sure, you want to make sure that you have enough on the edges. Because the edges are the area that usually tends to lift and not stick as well. You just put a nice thin strip of glue across. And the glue works best if you let it sit first for a second and let it get, it gets tacky. And it will stick a little bit better that when it's really wet, when it first comes out of the tube. So I'm going to work these back and forth with my hand, in the shape of her eyelid. And it will make it a little bit easier for them to go on, and I'm going to do that for a second while it gets tacky. And then, I'm going to have you close your eyes. I'm going to place these right on top of the lash. And I'm going to press this in, I'm going to use a little angled brush, I'm going to press them right into lash line. And the glue starts out white but it dries clear, so you don't have to worry about that. Alright, open, alright, so there's the first lash. Aright, now we're going to do the other side. And again, I'm just going, I've already trimmed these to fit her eye. I'm going to apply the glue, all the way across. If you get too much, you can just wipe it off with your finger and don't worry about it too much. You don't want it to get messy. And then I'm going to again, work these back and forth for a minute and let the glue get tacky. Alright, so I'm just working these back and forth while the glue gets tacky. And this is going to help form them to the shape of her eye and they'll go on a lot easier. Alright, close your eyes for me. Again, I'm going to drop these right on to the lashes. Then using my brush, we're going to press them right in. Alright, again have you open your eyes, look up. And it's normal for some of the glue to go a little bit on the bottom lashes. Just remember that it dries clear, so you don't have to really worry about that. See, close your eyes for me, this inside isn't sticking very well, so I'm just going to press it in a little bit more. Alright, open, alright and there we have some perfect false eyelashes, really easy to put on."
