False Lashes for Brides and Special Events


Wearing false eyelashes can be a really fun way to play up your eyes, but a lot of women are intimidated by them. Well, it's actually really easy! Technique is the key to realistic, flawless looking false lashes in no time! My 2009 Bride Heather loved her lashes and looked Simply Beautiful!!

Step 1: Snip Lash in half
Take an entire lash, and a pair of scissors, and snip the lash in half. It's better to only use half the lash because not everyone's eye lids are as long as the actual false lashes, so the half-lash will look more natural. Also, it's much easier to apply this way, because you won't have to bend it to fit the contours of your eyes.

Step 2: Glue
Squeeze a little bit of glue on to your hand, a piece of paper, or the cardboard container the lashes come in. Then, gently dip the base of the lash in the glue, coating it evenly with a small amount of glue. Don't worry - even if it looks white, it usually dries clear. Wait 5-10 seconds for the glue to get sticky before applying.
Step 3: Apply lash
Apply the lash at the outer corner of the eyes, laying it against the base of your natural lash line with your fingers and holding it there for about 10 seconds.

Step 4: Shade the seam
Once the lashes are on and the glue dries clear, apply a light liner over the seam to disguise the lash liner. Dipping a slanted liner brush in a dark shadow, and lightly tapping it over where the lashes meet the lids so the seam is well camouflaged.

Step 5: Mascara
Blend your false and natural lashes with black mascara. Sweep the wand up from under your natural lashes all the way to the tips of the fake ones.

Final look
Now you have an extra glamorous look that really adds to your natural beauty!Fun, flirty lashes. It's easy, and the glamour payoff is huge in pictures.
