- It's a skill that everyone should have.
Like you learn to drive, you learn to cook,
you learn how to do your taxes
and you learn how to put on false lashes.
Yes. - Yes.
- Hi, welcome back to the Adore Beauty YouTube channel.
My name is Amy Clark, I'm the senior editor here at Adore.
And today I am joined by another fellow red head.
Please introduce yourself.
- Hi guys, my name is Chloe
and I'm from the customer experience team
here at Adore Beauty.
- And the reason why Chloe is here with us today
is because we are talking all things false lashes.
Mainly how to apply false lashes perfectly every time.
And Chloe is actually a lash expert.
- Yes, I am a lash technician.
I'm also a lash enthusiast I've been wearing lashes ever
since high school.
- You have a controversial opinion.
- Yes.
- That false lashes are easier than mascara.
- I think they are because mascara,
you get them everywhere and when you rub your eyes,
it doesn't come off in like a smooth strip,
you're just left with it everywhere.
- Okay.
- Even when I was working at the warehouse,
we would start at 5:00 AM
and I just popped on false lashes every day.
You can ask anyone there.
- I think this is just wild
that you think false lashes are so easy
that you would do them at 4:30 in the morning
because it was easier than mascara.
- I'll show you, it takes like two seconds.
- Okay. I'm sure
- I love lashes, I feel really bold right now.
( laughing )
- You're like, don't look at me.
- Don't, don't, no close ups please.
- So in today's video Chloe is going to be taking me,
a false lash newbie, through step-by-step
how to apply false lashes perfectly every time
I want to know in your experience,
what are the main mistakes that people are making?
- When you don't cut the lashes properly.
It tends to jab into like your tear duct area.
And people get really irritated with that.
That's why their eyes get red.
Let's say your eyes are smaller or like shorter.
If you don't cut outsides of the lashes
your eyes will look droopy and it'll droop your makeup down.
- Ohhhhhh.
- That's not something you want.
- No.
- I also don't think people use enough glue.
I don't know if I use too much glue.
If your lashes are falling off mid event or like mid day.
I think use some more glue.
- So step one is to choose your lash.
- Lashes come in, like all different shapes and sizes.
You can get thick ones, you can get more natural ones.
It's important to get a lash that caters to your eye type
that compliments your eye type.
So like they come in dull eyes, like cat eyes, kittens.
So today we're going to be using the Ardell demi-wispies.
And I've actually been using demi-wispies since high school,
so I'm excited that we have it.
- Throwback.
- Yeah. So this is a very natural, this is natural for me
but it will probably be yeah,
something that you would wear to an event.
- This is just my every day,
packing Adore Beauty orders in the warehouse lash.
- That's me.
- And this one does actually come with the glue
but you can also buy glue separately.
- I like to put this in my bag for like in case it pops off.
- [Amy] Ahhhh.
- I'll just chuck it on.
- Okay
So we open this, I'll just stash that away somewhere.
- So when you take off the lashes
you don't want to ruin the curl.
So what I do is I bend the thing backwards
and then you kind of slowly peel the lashes off.
- Okay. I don't have the dainty um,
the dainty fingers of a lash technician
( intense music )
- I'm sweating, I'm sweating.
- You did it.
- Yay. Okay.
- So next would be cutting the lashes.
If you want a less dramatic look cut from the outer corners
because lashes tend to be longer at the outer outer corners.
- Yeah.
- And if you want a more dramatic look cut from
the inner corners.
But you have to measure it to your eyes first because
if you cut too much of it off it's.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- It's not good.
- Not good.
- No. Okay.
- Okay I like to tilt my mirror up.
You want to make sure that it's not dripping down
and that there's a little gap in between the inner corners
and for me, for my eye type, the outer corners as well.
I'm just going to cut off half this section here.
Have your arm tilted up, yeah.
And have the lashes sit on your, your lashes.
- Okay, so like this.
I think my natural lashes are just too beautiful
and it's just making it really hard.
Like that?
- Yeah. That's tilted too much.
- Oh.
- So its kinda let's
40, 45 degree angle.
- It's stuck.
I don't think this is right.
- Try to get it on like the lid.
- Chloe I'm trying.
I've just had a lash lift probably like eight weeks ago
and still start half of my lashes are like.
- Slowly turn here when you can.
( creaking noise )
Okay. With this one,
I would cut a little bit off the ends
just to avoid the droopiness.
Cut it from the band, don't cut it this way.
- Okay.
- In case you damaged the lashes. You got this.
- My hands are shaking.
- Yeah rest your elbows.
- Okay.
- Amy's scared of these lashes.
- Okay, there we go.
- Yes, like we look so ugly.
It's a little bit crusty.
- Hmm.
- Oh my god don't.
She's tired in the morning.
- You can edit that bit out right? Yeah.
Keep it in.
- Hold it like, so are you left handed or right here?
- I'm right-handed
- Yeah okay. I'm right-handed too.
Have a little bubble of glue come out like so.
As you kind of draw it on you lashes
air bubbles might come out
and it will explode all over your lashes.
Carefully running it on the lash line.
On the lash band, sorry.
- You are an artist.
- Okay. Is this the amount of glue I like to put on?
- And presumably this glues it dries clear, yeah?
- Yeah it dries clear.
- [Camera Lady] How long do you wait?
10, 15 seconds.
You kind of like feel it.
- Okay, okay.
Listen, listen to the glue.
You don't want to put it on right away
but we want the glue to be a little bit tacky.
- Yeah. So I put more glue on the ends of the lashes more
and less on the centre.
I like to mould it like this mould the lash band
and head tilt up.
This is really high pressure.
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- Oh my god, here we go.
And you just put it on let it sit on top of your lashes.
And then afterwards, just go in with your eyeliner
to conceal the bl- bland, the band
So the lashes are here and the eyelid is here.
It just sits my sleep on top.
I like to stick it on my eyelids
because I don't have lashes.
- Okay.
Any tips for anyone who has kind of um,
fumbling sausage fingers like myself?
Is that when I would maybe use some tweezers?
- Yeah. You can use some tweezers.
I like to use two hands to make sure that in the corner
and the outer corners pressed in.
And what else and just breathe.
- Okay. So I- oh!
- [Chloe] See imagine that around the lashes.
- [Amy] Oh, okay, yeah. I understand.
- Wait that's gonna, that's gonna mess up the lash.
- Yeah, Chloe.
Good, a bit more?
- A little bit more
Do you know the angle that we came down from before?
- Yeah.
- When you apply it onto your lashes apply like that.
- Okay. But first I'm doing this right?
- Yes.
- So now I'm.
- [Chloe] Moulding the lashes.
- [Amy] Moulding.
- Um also, hot tip, if you can't get your lashes on right
just wear eyeliner and then you can just chuck it wherever.
- I've done one side.
Are you doing a closeup?
- [Camera Lady] Yep.
- So don't go too close.
Cause I actually think, you know, it's my first time.
- [Chloe] Yeah.
- You can't,
it would be strange if I got it right at the first time.
Chloe has assured me that I can salvage this situation
by putting mascara on.
- The way I use mascara for false lashes
is I just like to blend in my lashes.
It kind of creates like a glue between your lashes
and the false lashes.
So it's not like sticking down or.
- [Amy] Beautiful
- You know sticking all out. - All right.
I'm actually just not sure if mascara
is going to be enough to save me.
- Mascara, it's just not my friend.
- This is the completed look, um.
Just like leave a comment below
with what you think.
- Your eyes are both different, like different shapes,
they can be different, mine are different.
So one I have to cut off a lot more lashes off
and the other one is not too much.
I don't remember which one is which
but you have to measure it.
You have to measure all your lashes.
- [Amy] I am the glue..
- Try holding it maybe at the end use your tweezers.
What do you reckon?
- Oh.
- So it's easier to.
- This corner.
- Yeah.
- No, not there.
( laughing)
- [Chloe] Not there.
- You do you, don't worry about me over here.
- The glue told me it was ready.
- Oh, right.
- [Amy] Oh my God.
I thought the point of this was to show me how easy it is.
- Practise makes perfect.
And after you're done applying the lashes I like to press it
into my eyelid.
Amy you're doing a good job.
- Ah, oh my God.
- Oh um.
- It's okay.
Can you like put the tweezers down?
No, I'm trying to get my actual lashes out the way.
Cause I can't like I can't get don't look at me like that.
Okay hm.
- I don't think that's bad.
Honestly everything's hard when you do it
for the first time.
- Like that?
- [Chloe] Yeah.
- Can you see that?
- [Chloe] Gorgeous.
- So beautiful.
So if I have stuffed up, can I put new glue on this?
Or is this lash dead now?
- No, so you can take wait for your glue to dry
and you can gently peel it all.
So Amy's lashes are really curly, which is why she has to
look a bit more down and angle the lashes a bit more
- My eyes are watering.
I'm just going to have a single tear.
Just rolling down my cheek.
You can see the difference between
how Chloe has done it, this side.
Versus,
my beautiful work on this side.
- [Camera Lady] You look very glam Amy.
- This is where we just get some like wind machine.
- [Chloe] Glam shots.
( upbeat music playing )
