There’s no doubt about it, false eyelashes will give your eyes real impact, but with the advances in designs, they no longer have to be strictly for special occasions, you can give your eyes the wow factor everyday if you want to!

But so many people steer clear of false eyelashes because they don’t know how to apply them properly, below is a guide that will help:

Step 1: Apply the eyelashes before you apply the rest of your eye make up, you should have a clean base. Place the false lashes on top of your own eyelashes without glue to give you an idea of where they should be. Trim them to fit, it looks terrible when you see people with overhanging false eyelashes.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer o glue to the base o the lashes, you will need to apply slightly more glue to the edges as these are more likely to come unstuck.

Blow on the glue for a few seconds, this will give it greater hold.

Step 3: Start from the inner corner of the lashes and keep as close as possible to your natural lashes, do not attempt to put them on in one go, you need to start at the inner corner and gently work your way to the outer corner. Whilst you are waiting for the glue to dry, use the end of the brush to tap the lashes into the correct position (if they are not already there) and tap them gently to secure them.

Step 4: Finish with a line of eyeliner to help hide the false lash line and a coat of mascara to style them for a natural look

How to remove false eyelashes: Start from the outer corner and peel them gently, if you have difficulty, dip a cotton bud (q tip) in some warm (not hot!) water and run this along your eyelid and try again.
