Here are some pointers I would recommend for you :)

- Curl your real eyelashes first
- Apply mascara if needed
- Try applying the fake eyelashes from your tear duct, it makes alot easier ( well for me lol )
- Take your eyelash curler and curl the real and fake eyelashes together and apply more mascara if needed

Hopefully I helped a little bit! :)

what I do is first curl lashes then separete them with a lash comb(ensures u don't get clumpy lashes).
Then I curl them again.
After this I apply natural looking lashes(some lashes that resamble ur own)
and then if U feel like ur lashes and the fake ones don't look all well blended just apply a thin coat of mascara, the one I luv for this is the
Rimmel London-Sexy Curves Mascara.
that pretty mcuh it.
hope that helps :)

almost forgot, I apply the fake lashes with some tweezers, easier for me than usng my fingers(clumsy hands I guess lol :p).
I also use the duo adhesive and I start on the center and as close to the eyelash base.

You can also invest in a metal lash comb to brush through your lashes and blend them with your false ones... This works best with lash styles that are pointing straight out, and not criss-crossed. =]

Also go over your lash band with black eyeshadow to matte out the glossiness of it so ppl can't see it.

Cut them so they fit your eye, and try not to get overly shiny lashes with super thick bands. They're harder to put on and tend to fall off easier. You can even cut the false lashes into different sections and use them to emphasize certain parts of your lash line, or use individual eyelashes.

maybe start with half lashes so you can get used to them

you could use point-lashes, they're so much more easier to work with :)

First you need to look at if you naturally have a lot or sparse eyelashes when picking out which ones might be right for you. I would go with eyelashes that say "natural" and have an invisible band because in my opinion these are easier to blend and hide (use clear glue ;) and make sure the lashes fit your eye- if not cut them with eyebrow scissors ) or get individual lashes (they come in a pack) that come in different sizes (small, medium tend to look the most natural on eyes.)

I see Antonio and I have similar techniques when it comes to prepping the our natural lashes before applying fake ones. I curl lashes then separete them with a lash comb and then I curl them again. After this I apply the fake lashes and then I apply mascara but mostly at the root of my lashes. I feel if I get too much mascara on my fake ones, they tend to look bad. Then I separate and brush them out a bit in order to achieve a natural look :)

Bare Escentuals has a really good metal comb for lashes that I personally like! Check it out when you get a chance.

Using individual false lashes sparingly will probably give the most natural look xx

these were great tips :) I am a false eyelash virgin but I love the dramatic look of them!

@Soma can you please tell me where would I be able to find a metal lash comb?

Target. Sonia Kashuk makes one that is foldable, and they have the standard brush handled ones for about $12 or so. =]
