How to apply false eyelashes to yourself?

It’s critical to understand that bunch and strip lashes are applied differently. We go through each type’s specifics step-by-step.

How to apply strip false eyelashes?

Makeup your eyelids prior to applying eyelashes. If you have nothing bright planned, stick to beige and a base for your eyeshadow. To provide the false eyelashes with a supporting frame, use a curler to curl your own lashes. By doing this, you can give your real eyelashes the same curl as your fake ones, making them stand out against the fake ones without appearing fake.

Apply a black eye pencil to the upper eyelids’ mucous membrane and the space between the lashes. The false eyelashes on the eyes will appear natural if there are no gaps between them.

If desired, use a black liner to draw a line along the lashes and add tiny arrows that extend past the outer corners of the eyes. This kind of "substrate" will give strip lashes a foundation and make them blend in with the natural lash row.

Apply paint to the lash tips all the way up to the roots. Applying too much mascara will make the false lashes stand out against your real ones instead of blending in seamlessly.

For most girls, the typical factory length of false eyelashes is too long. Stepping back 3–4 mm from the beginning of the eyelid, try the eyelashes on your eye. Check to see if and how much of the length needs to be shortened.

Using small scissors, trim off any excess, but keep in mind that you can only cut off the length from the outer edge of the lashes. The beginning of the eyelash row will appear unnatural after adhering if you trim off a section with tiny eyelashes at the inner part.

After covering the entire eyelash strip with a thin layer of glue, give it a few seconds to "set." Align the end of the strip eyelashes with your final lash as you begin adhering the lashes from the outside corner. Using your fingers, tweezers, or brush handle, press the strip’s base to the skin of the eyelid as closely as possible after placing the lashes on your own eyelid.

Don’t move too quickly and take your time. You have time to move the fake lashes as near to your own as possible in the initial seconds when the eyelash glue is still pliable.

How to glue on false eyelashes in bunches?

First, makeup your eyelids, just like with strip false lashes. Makeup can be bright, but eyelashes in bunches look more natural. You can safely draw arrows or smokey eyes if you like.

Make sure the area between the lashes is painted over. In any case, there will be spaces between the lash bunches; eyeliner will visually cover these spaces.

Take several eyelashes out with tweezers. Place it in your hand. Next, gently lower the base of the bunch into the glue by grabbing it again with tweezers. A tiny drop will do the trick. It’s important to avoid going overboard because that way the glue will get on the eyelids as well as the lashes.

Attach several fake lashes to the base of your natural lash using tweezers. Allow the glue to solidify for a few seconds before carefully releasing the bunch.

Then take the next group and carry out this sequence of steps as many times as required to get the intended result.

In our video, we go over applying false eyelashes—both bunch and strip—in further detail.

For a natural and secure fit, applying false eyelashes correctly requires careful planning and technique. Choose lashes that best fit the shape of your eyes first, then cut them to fit your lash line. Apply the glue sparingly and allow it to become tacky for a few seconds before positioning the lashes as near to your natural lash line as feasible. For accuracy, use tweezers, and gently press the lashes into position. To ensure a smooth, long-lasting look, blend in mascara and adjust any loose edges.

How to remove false eyelashes?

It is not necessary to remove fake eyelashes when they are dry. First of all, this can be really uncomfortable. Furthermore, you run the risk of losing your natural eyelashes if you remove fake ones in this manner.

Plan ahead to remove false eyelashes safely:

  • a towel or cotton pads,
  • moisturizing cream or micellar water,
  • tweezers.

Next, dab another cotton pad with a micellar remedy or moisturizer that contains oils and apply it to the eyes.

After taking out the cotton pad, use tweezers to remove the false eyelashes. Keep your hands off the real ones.

Applying false eyelashes can be an easy way to make a small visual improvement, but it takes skill and attention to detail. From priming your natural lashes to putting the false ones in place, every step must be carefully followed to achieve a polished and expert look.

Prioritize safety at all times by handling your lashes with clean hands and tools, and take your time selecting the ideal lash style and adhesive for your needs. Don’t give up if it takes a few tries to get it perfect; practice makes perfect.

You can apply false eyelashes confidently and smoothly with some time and practice, which makes them a great addition to your beauty routine for any occasion.
