Applying thick false eyelashes in a way that looks good requires attention to several details. Here are the steps and techniques:
Prepare the eyelashes and tools
- Select suitable false eyelashes: Choose thick false eyelashes according to the occasion and your eye shape. For example, if you have round eyes, you can choose false eyelashes that are longer at the outer corner to elongate the eyes. If it's for a party or stage performance, you can go for more exaggerated and thick styles.
- Prepare tools: You'll need eyelash glue, tweezers, and an eyelash curler. It's recommended to choose an eyelash glue with good viscosity and quick drying time.
Prepare the eyelids
- Clean the eyelids: Before applying false eyelashes, make sure your eyelids are clean and free of oil and makeup residue, which can affect the adhesion of the false eyelashes. You can use a gentle eye makeup remover to clean and then pat dry with a tissue.
- Curl natural eyelashes: Use an eyelash curler to curl your natural 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 curl upwards. This can make the natural eyelashes blend better with the false eyelashes.
Apply false eyelashes
- Trim the false eyelashes: Place the false eyelashes on the eyelids to measure the length and trim off the excess part at both ends with scissors. Generally, the false eyelashes should be slightly shorter than the width of the eyelids to avoid looking too bulky at the corners of the eyes.
- Apply eyelash glue: Squeeze an appropriate amount of eyelash glue onto the back of the false eyelash band. Make sure to apply the glue evenly, and it's better to apply a little more at both ends. Then wait for about 10-15 seconds for the glue to become slightly tacky.
- Attach the false eyelashes: Use tweezers to pick up the false eyelashes and align them with the root of the natural eyelashes. Start from the middle of the eyelid and gently press the false eyelashes onto the skin. Then, fix the inner and outer corners of the eyelashes, making sure they are firmly attached.
Adjust and blend
- Press and adjust: After attaching the false eyelashes, use your fingers or the back of the tweezers to gently press the false eyelashes again to make them adhere more firmly and blend with the natural eyelashes. If there are any uneven parts, adjust them in time.
- Use mascara: Apply a moderate amount of mascara to the natural eyelashes and false eyelashes to make them blend more naturally and enhance the overall curling and thickening effect. When applying mascara, start from the root of the eyelashes and brush outwards in a zigzag motion.
Final touch-ups
- Check the edges: Check if the edges of the false eyelashes are properly attached and if there is any excess glue. If there is, gently remove it with a cotton swab.
- Adjust the makeup: According to the effect of the false eyelashes, make appropriate adjustments to the overall eye makeup. For example, you can add some eyeliner to make the eyes look more energetic and coordinated with the thick false eyelashes.
