How to Easily Apply False Eyelashes


How to Easily Apply False Eyelashes

Keeping it natural doesn’t mean you can’t experiment and have fun with makeup! False eyelashes have a reputation of being very noticeable however, if applied properly; no one can tell if they are real or not. Some women prefer their false lashes to appear fake for a more dramatic look by wearing over the top designer style lashes which is great however; most women prefer the natural look. To accomplish this, follow the simple steps below. Warning: Once you see the difference, you may become addicted!

Step 1: Choose the lashes!
Mahya offers a great variety of lashes to choose from at her store in Dallas and at the events she attends through out the nation. If you are not local or able to visit, you can always find inexpensive lashes at your local drugstore, Wal-Mart, etc. Choose lashes that are not too much longer than your own lashes, especially if you have very little room from your eyelid to your eyebrow. Lashes that are not equally cut across appear more natural. For example, our eyelashes are never all the exact same length so your fake lashes shouldn’t be either to appear more natural. Also, choose them depending on thickness as well. False eyelashes that are similar to your natural thickness in lashes are most desired.

Step 2: Glue!
Now that you have the lashes, pick the glue. Most eyelashes come with their own glue however; those glues typically do not work out too well. With time the glue weakens and therefore lashes do not hold all day. The glue to recommend would be DUO Glue in White to Clear. They sell this at the same locations they sell eye lashes. This glue does not have a bad smell and do very well in bad weather conditions. It goes on white but with a couple of minutes it turns clear and goes unnoticed which is what you want.

Step 3: Applying…
Now you have the tools to apply. First apply a bit of mascara to your natural eyelashes. This will help the false lashes stick to your lashes better. Then take one of the false lashes out from package and apply the glue to the lining of the lashes. While you let glue lightly dry before applying, also bend the lashes so they fit to your eyelids better. Then before glue dries completely, apply them to the correct eye slowly. You will know which eye it goes to by the length in the lashes. The smaller side of the lashes would look more natural when placed in the inner corner of eyes and the longer side goes on the outer side of eyes. When applying be sure to place them in the center of your lashline and as close to your lashline as possible but not on your lashes. Start by pressing the center of the lashes so they glue first then the outside of lashes and finally the inner lashes. Try not blinking too much before glue is dry. Once they are on, do the other side. Now that you have both lashes on, apply Mahya Mascara to the root of your natural upper lashes and do not take the mascara all the way up to the end of the false lashes. This will help blend the false lashes to your natural eyelashes.

Step 4: Line
It always helps the look to apply eyeliner at the false eyelash line on your eye lids. Apply thin or thick, just as long as it covers the false line. This helps put the finished look into better perspective and really makes it appear natural!


Now you are ready to show others how fierce you can be just with one look and they don't even realize you just learned how to apply false eyelashes!
