False eyelashes can really amp up your eyemakeup
and make a huge impact and I'm going to show you can put them on
yourselves at home
Hi I'm Pallavi Symons, your makeup expert at Glamrs.com
Most women are intimated by using false lashes but
it isn't really as hard as it seems
so make sure that your lashes go on after your eye makeup is done
Most fake lashes come with the packaging like this
some with harder shells and some with soft shells like this
and don't just rip them off especially because you might
displace few of the lashes in the corners
so if it's a softer packaging just simply bend the packaging like this
and pluck from the centre so you don't really lose shape
The reason they put on this shield is to retain the shape which is
curved. So first determine the shape of your eye
and the length of your lash, something like this would be fine for me
but people with slightly smaller eyes
or closed set eyes need to clip off from the ends
Now normally all lashes or most lashes come on this clear plastic
or white band and when you put it on
and you don't have time to fix it, you might end up having
one little white line and that doesn't really look nice so what
I tend to do is normally take
one of your liner stakes or an art liner like this
and just simply colour the white ink
so once you have the lash on
the white doesn't show through.. the things that you need to keep handy
when you are doing your lashes is
Glue, this is a surgical
glue which is also used cosmetically, it's called adhesive
and
thirdly, one of these kind of objects something that's
flat and slightly sharp on the edges
I tend to use this, it's actually a sponge tip applicator
brush, simply pinch off the sponge
and you'll end with this little plastic shield inside, I find this very handy
you can use tweezers but I would suggest
you don't put something as sharp as that so close to your eyes so
something like this should be safe.. Now that the eyeliner or the black
that I have applied here is dried just make sure
you give it a good bend so it stays curved, so I take
a small amount of glue on my hand here
and now
just gonna take a bit of the glue on this
applicator brush
Just apply it evenly
Particularly on the corners, because the corners tend to lift off
quicker cause the eyes water and the corners water
and always let the glue
by that I mean just give it a couple of seconds rest because
if it's too wet it can slide off even if you are trying to put it in place
now
this is the most important part of placement
keep a mirror pretty close unless you have a great eyesight
always try and get the curve first, the easiest part
of the eye to get the lash into
just place it firmly
and leave it so you know that you can pull it or push it this way or that
get it as far and close into your lashline as you can
and just push it into place
and sometimes you feel a bit of a pull because the
glue has kind of become sticky and if that happens
all you need to do is hold the inner corner of the nose
and the outer corner and give it a gentle tug
that will ease the glue off
so it won't feel half as rigid as
it felt when you just put it on and once you're done with that
fill in with mascara
Continue to do a liner if you just want to fix a liner
over it
I normally finish off with a mascara simply to just mix
the fake lashes with the real ones so it looks more like one
sheet of hair
So there you have your lashes on now what will happen is
the glue is white but most of them dissapear to
invisible so most often than not, you don't need to
really go over with an eyeliner but what does happen
is because it is latex based, it does tend to shine a little
to mattify just go in with your liner, just a little bit
or you can simply do this, like I said earlier
just put a bit of mascara, kind of mix the
lashes in together textures
and that
blends the fake lashes with your own
and if you do feel like you want to adjust
a bit of the length from the below, because normally what happens with lashes
is especially the fake ones is
they tend to protrude a little bit like this, so just make it look
a little more attractive
Dab a little bit of your liner on a slanted brush
and just wing out the bottom as well, so it gives the illusion of same length
of up and below
just like that
and
if the band shows like this
just go over really close and fix it with
your liner
so there it's as simple as that, well it does take a
good amount of time.. give a couple of tries at
the time when you're not rushing out, I think you'll do great job of putting on
fake eyelashes and have fun with your eye makeup
