Here are the techniques and steps for applying false eyelashes for the first time:
Preparation
Select suitable false eyelashes: Choose false eyelashes according to your eye shape and the occasion. For beginners, natural and lightweight styles are recommended, which are easier to apply and more comfortable to wear.
Prepare tools: You'll need false eyelash glue, tweezers, scissors, an eyelash curler, and possibly a small comb or spoolie.
Application Steps
Curl natural eyelashes: Use an eyelash curler to curl your natural eyelashes before applying false eyelashes. Start from the root of the eyelashes and gently clamp for a few seconds, then move to the middle and tip of the eyelashes to make them curled upward. This will make the natural eyelashes fit better with the false eyelashes.
Trim the false eyelashes: Hold the false eyelashes with tweezers and compare them with the width of your eye. Usually, false eyelashes are a bit longer than the actual eye width, so you need to trim them with scissors. Start from the outer end of the false eyelashes and trim off the excess part to make it match the width of your eye socket.
Apply glue: Squeeze an appropriate amount of false eyelash glue onto the root of the false eyelashes. It's better to apply the glue evenly and thinly. You can use the tip of the glue tube or a small brush to spread the glue. Let the glue dry for about 10 - 15 seconds until it becomes slightly tacky. This will make the false eyelashes stick more firmly.
Place the false eyelashes: Use tweezers to pick up the false eyelashes. Start from the middle of the upper eyelash line and gently place the false eyelashes as close to the root of the natural eyelashes as possible. Then, use your fingers or the tweezers to press the two ends of the false eyelashes to make them adhere firmly to the skin.
Adjust and blend: After placing the false eyelashes, check if they are straight and if there are any gaps or unevenness. If necessary, use tweezers to make small adjustments. You can also use a small comb or spoolie to brush the natural eyelashes and false eyelashes together to make them blend more naturally.
Precautions
Less is more with glue: Don't apply too much glue, as excess glue can seep out and cause irritation to the eyes or make the false eyelashes look messy.
Test the glue: Before applying the false eyelashes, it's a good idea to test the glue on a small area of skin to check for any allergic reactions.
Be gentle: When using tweezers to handle the false eyelashes, be careful not to damage them. Also, be gentle when applying and adjusting them to avoid pulling or irritating the natural eyelashes and the skin around the eyes.
