Any makeup loving girl will know how important our eyelashes our to us, not only to protect our peepers, but to frame them, open them up and flutter in the direction of anything cute! And whilst we all dream of naturally having long, luscious, thick, curly lashes – this just isn’t always the case. Lucky for us, individual False Eyelashes were invented to help us out. Now, they may seem tricky to the inexperienced, but read through this tutorial and give it a try. You’ll have everyone hypnotized! 

  1. Open your pack of individual falsies so you can clearly see the different lengths (usually short, medium and long lengths) and get your kit ready. Decide roughly how many lashes you are going to use. A simple way to decide is Less Lashes = Natural, More Lashes = Dramatic. Take a small piece of the tin/aluminium foil and drop a small amount of the eyelash adhesive onto it. This will stop things getting messy and leaving dried glue everywhere. Take your tweezers and carefully pick up one of the shorter lashes and remove from the tray. Dip the knotted (or base) end of the lash into the glue and remove it. Leave this to become tacky for about 10 seconds.
  2. Starting from the inner corner of your eye, place the glued end on top of your natural eyelashes. Press this down and in to place using the other end of your tweezers. Repeat with a second short lash along side the first, then with two medium lashes, then two of the long lashes, moving along to the outer corner of your eye.
  3. If you like the natural lashes look, then you can skip ahead to the eyelash curlers here. If you fancy a little more flutter, start at the inner corner again and add two more of each length lash in with the first ones you applied – Instant drama! Now take your eyelash curlers and lightly curl both the falsies and your natural lashes together – giving them a more uniform curl.
  4. Apply a light coat of mascara to all lashes, and there you have beautiful, full, volume rich, curly eyelashes – the way we all dream of. Be careful not to blow people away when you blink!
