Fake eyelashes are typically placed along the lash line, either above or below the natural eyelashes:
- Above the natural eyelashes: This is the most common placement.
- On the upper lash line: The false eyelashes are attached directly above the natural upper eyelashes, close to the lash line. This enhances the length, volume, and curl of the upper lashes, making the eyes look bigger and more prominent. It's a popular choice for creating a dramatic or glamorous look, suitable for events like parties, weddings, or stage performances.
- Below the natural eyelashes:
- On the lower lash line: False eyelashes can also be placed along the lower lash line, beneath the natural lower eyelashes. This is less common but can create a unique and soft look, adding definition and fullness to the lower lashes. It can make the eyes appear more doe-like or give a more sultry effect. This placement is often used in specific makeup styles or for a more natural yet enhanced look in some cases.
In some cases, for very special or creative makeup looks, false eyelashes might be placed in other positions, such as diagonally across the eyelid or in a scattered pattern away from the lash line, but these are less conventional and more for artistic or avant-garde purposes.
