How the hell do you use False Eyelashes?!

[Nymph]

Okay, I just got a set of false eyelashes, but stupid me didn't realise how impossible they are to get on. Any tips or tutorials for applying false lashes?
Thanks

Practice!
I love false lashes and swear by them whenever I go out anywhere...
Apply the glue to the false lashes and wait for a few seconds so that it is tacky, and they stick them as close to your own as possible, starting from the inside and working your way out. It takes a while to get the hang of but once you have you'll get it perfect every time xx

i love to see things done in real time on youtube tutorials, try this one by the amazing marlena of makeupgeek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F84wt...e=channel_page

it does take a bit of practice unfortunately, but its so simple once you get the hang of it. here are my top 3 tips:

1.make sure you completely coat the little band evenly with enough glue, especially the very ends (so the ends dont start to peel at the corners!)

2. my favorite way to get an even amount of glue, is put a line of glue on the back of your hand and dip the band in it, as opposed to squeezing the tip of glue onto the band which sometimes causes the uneven globs of glue

3. be patient and wait til it gets fully tacky! its hard bc you just want to pop it on right away, but runny glue does not work! i suggest counting a full 30 seconds in your head, or out loud, that always guarantees me the perfect glue tackiness haha

okay false eyelashes , omgodd i love wearing them even just during the day. but especially for going dancing etcc at first they are kinda tricky to get the hag of but after a couple of trys youll get them looking natural & gorgeous each & every time you apply them (: !
all you do is put some glue along the false eyes lashes ( NEVER on your eyelid :-|| ! ) wait for a few secons & put them on as close to your own lash line as you can get . hold the two edges ( closest to your nose & closest to your ear ) with with your thumb & your middle finger & with a cotton bud press down in the middle for a few seconds & it should have stuck perfectly
hope my techinique works for you as it does me & my girls !

I love false eyelashes. The key is to make sure the glue is tacky before putting your falsies on. Here is a video showing you how. Hope it helps

Hopefully this will help you make sure that the lashes hold firmly in place, you should get it right first time if you follow these instructions

3 basic steps to make your eyelash glue stick

Preparation

The lashes must be direct from the casing or packet in which they were received. This prevents particles of dust and dirt attaching to the strip that makes contact with the skin on your eyelids. Washing your hands with warm water and antibacterial liquid soap can also help to eliminate dirt on your fingers and will reduce the risk of infection. It is also important to have a clean surface, eyelash glue and a pair of tweezers within easy reach.

Application

The application of the lashes can determine how natural the lashes will look, therefore it is important to pay attention to detail during this process. The recommended method is slightly different to what most will do, however the success rate is far greater then applying excess glue to the lash and potentially damaging it…

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of eyelash glue onto the back of your hand.
2. Pick the lash up with tweezers making sure to grab the strip where the material is more durable.
3. Gently run the strip of the lash across the glue, making sure it is evenly distributed across the entire length of the strip. If you accidentally apply too much blow gently in a side-to-side motion to make the glue less runny.
4. Bring the lash up to your eyelid and apply light pressure along the strip making sure each edge is firmly stuck to your lid.

Checks and Adjustments

Once the lash is applied there are a several checks that can be done to ensure the lash is applied firmly and will not fall off later on. Firstly, the lash should not have any edges that overhang from the natural shape of your eyelid. If the strip is hanging off in the corners then the lash may need to be reapplied or trimmed to fit your eye.

It is worthwhile checking for any visible glue on the skin surrounding your eye. If glue is visible on your skin it could potentially find its way into your eye and cause irritation or infection. Generally speaking high quality, professional eyelash glue should not do this but many standard glues can end up being visible on the lid which draws attention to the lashes and ruins the look. If this glue is visible you may need to remove it with a damp flannel.

Once you are happy with the position and look of your lashes you can resume with the rest of your makeup. Some women prefer to apply lashes at the end of their makeup regime but this really is personal preference.

This process should ensure you leave with perfect lashes that will stick for hours, however there is still one factor, that when overlooked can make all these rules useless. No matter how careful you are with the lashes and how much attention you dedicate to each process the lashes will NOT stay on your eye lids if the glue is low quality. Only professional eyelash glue can guarantee that your lashes will stay on your eyes no matter what conditions you face.

Hope this helps! If you are unsure as to what eyelash glue will hold the best try some of these false eyelash glues

I like the Duo eyelash glue - you can get it at the MAC counter and even some drugstores I think. It appears white and dries clear. A good glue REALLY helps!! BUT I too have a problem with them sometimes peeling up from the inside corner : / I guess they're too long...

I love lashes! Very simple. First you want to measure your eyes with the lashes and cut off the extra prices. Put the glue and blow it for 35-45 secs. Then apply to your lash line. Don't forget to put on your eyeliner right after. To save your lashes and reuse again make sure you don't put mascara on them. Normally what I do is I curl my real lashes add mascara and eyeliner. Then do the steps I gave you an as a finishing touch I go over my liner again. Email me for great prices fir eyelashes. I sell them!

Why don't you just use mascaras that would make your lashes look thicker and longer? My sister has short and think lashes but when she discovered the Maybelline voluminous lashes - yellow cover, it makes it more than natural. She used to have those false lashes but it still looks obvious for me, maybe because I know how her lashes really looks. lol

For best results using false eyelashes
1) Curl eyelashes
2) Apply a generous amount of mascara
3) Apply a thin black liquid eye liner to disguise where the natural and false lash meet
4) Blacken the land band to help the lash band blend in with your natural lash line
5) Lay down the proper amount of adhesive (DUO glue is best) on the false lash, waiting 15 seconds to allow the adhesive to become tacky
6) Bend the lash to mould it into the proper shape and for easier application
7) Apply false lash, laying down the centre first and then securing the ends, use the end of a brush to push the lash down onto the lash line prior to the adhesive completely drying
8) Check both are even by fluffing up or pushing down

Hope this helps

i dont like false eyelashes

I've found better luck putting lashes on pre-makeup. It lets the glue stick to SKIN rather than a powder. It makes eye makeup a little more tricky to put on but they stick better for me and my clients!
