Applying fake eyelashes involves several steps, from preparation to the final adjustment. Here is a detailed guide:
- Select Fake Eyelashes: Choose fake eyelashes that suit your eye shape and the occasion. For example, natural-looking ones are suitable for daily use, while more exaggerated ones are better for parties. Mink fur eyelashes, known for their softness and natural look, are a popular choice.
- Gather Tools: You'll need eyelash glue, tweezers, and a pair of small scissors. Make sure the tweezers have a fine tip for easy handling of the eyelashes.
- Measure Against the Eye: Hold the fake eyelashes against your natural lash line to check the length. If they are too long, trim them from the outer corner using small scissors. Be careful not to cut too much as you can always trim more if needed.
- Curve the Eyelashes: Gently bend the fake eyelashes with your fingers or tweezers to match the natural curve of your eyelids. This helps them adhere better and look more natural.
- Apply Glue to the Lash Band: Squeeze a thin line of eyelash glue along the lash band. Let the glue sit for about 30 seconds to become tacky. This ensures better adhesion.
- Optional: Add More Glue Points: For extra security, especially with heavier lashes like mink fur eyelashes, you can add a few small dots of glue at the inner and outer corners of the lash band.
- Position with Tweezers: Use tweezers to pick up the fake eyelashes at the center. Align the lash band with your natural lash line, starting from the middle and pressing it down gently.
- Attach Inner and Outer Corners: Press the inner and outer corners of the fake eyelashes firmly against your natural lash line to ensure they are securely attached. You may need to use the tweezers to adjust the position slightly.
- Check the Adhesion: Make sure the entire lash band is stuck firmly to your natural lashes. If there are any gaps or loose parts, press them down gently with the tweezers.
- Blend with Natural Lashes: Use a mascara wand or a small brush to gently comb through your natural lashes and the fake eyelashes to blend them together. This makes the look more seamless.
