It is very important to learn how to correctly apply false eyelashes so that they will be effective in providing you with stunning eyelashes. When they are applied incorrectly they will have an uneven appearance, and it will be obvious that you are wearing fake eyelashes. You can find false eye lashes available for sale in different beauty shops. They come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Depending on what the natural tone of your skin is, you can select black or dark brown lashes so that it won't be as noticeable that they are fake.

Before you attempt to apply false eyelashes, the first thing you need to do is clean your eye area before applying them. If there are any traces of make up or oil on your skin, the adhesive portion of the fake eye lashes won't stick. In addition to washing your face with water and soap, you should also use a make up remover that is oil-free to remove any of the remaining make up from your face. This procedure isn't just applicable to putting on false eyelashes. You should also clean your face each time before applying your make up. This will help to prevent skin irritation as well as the formation of pimples due to oil and dirt getting trapped in your skin.

Check to see if your false eye lashes match with the size of your eyes. To test this, press your fake eyelashes along the natural line of your lashes. If the fake eyelashes are longer than your lash line, cut that excess off using cuticle scissors. Only cut the excess length so that your false eyelashes don't end up being too short. Just cut a few lashes at one time. That way you will be sure to trim only the excess part.

Slowly apply adhesive to your false eyelashes so that you apply a complete coating of glue. You should be able to easily glide the glue onto the line holding the fake lashes together. You can always use a toothpick for applying the adhesive onto the fake eyelashes if the other method doesn't work. The corners of the false eyelashes do come loose easily. Therefore, the best thing to do is apply a good amount of glue on each end of your false eyelashes.

Let the adhesive dry for a bit. Before applying it, the adhesive does need to be tacky. If you try to use wet glue to apply the fake lashes, they might slide off and end up in a strange position. However, you also need to make sure the adhesive glue doesn't dry completely. The adhesive should sticky to the touch before applying your false eyelashes.

Once the adhesive is ready, attach your false eyelashes onto your eyes. Then gently close your eyes. Be sure to place the fake lashes as close to your natural lash line as you can, but don't have them directly stick to your lashes. Press lightly. Allow them to dry for about 30 seconds. Paint liquid eyeliner in the empty spaces between your eyelashes and fake lashes. This will help with covering the gaps up. Blend your natural and fake eyelashes together. Use eyeliner to cover up any mild color discrepancy. You have now completed all the steps and your fake eyelashes should be correctly in place.
