How To Apply False Lashes

To do a false lash application tutorial for like the longest time but just now do I feel comfortable with showing you guys how I do it. I know in the past I said I didn't like fake lashes but I wanted to experiment with them. I bought like a crap load of lashes to practice with. If you want to learn how I apply lashes then stay tuned.

I'm going to use these ELF lashes, you could buy them at Target where you can purchase ELF for only $1.00. I applied a really thin line of liner. I used my Clinique gel liner and I'm going to go back over that. This is the Sigma 209 and then I'm going to back over for the line. I just apply a line just beforehand. I'm growing my eyebrows out by the way. I don't know if you guys could tell, I'm trying to grow my eyebrows out. I apply a thin line in case I don't get it completely on my lash line. The line is also kind of like a guide for me too, like where I put my lashes and stuff.

Okay, so if you guys have trouble taking off the lashes what I like to do, is I like to just peel it down like this instead of pulling it off. It'll come in a pack like this of course and this is for your right eye, this is for your left eye. People usually put the glue right onto the lash but in my case I like to put it on a brush, on the end of a brush. I've already done that and the glue that I use is the DUO adhesive and you could purchase this from MAC or I'm not really sure where else. I got mine at MAC but I'm sure you could get it from like other places too. I like to let the glue get tacky. This is just the brush that I use for my eyebrows. I like to let it sit to get tacky so it's easier for the lashes to stick onto my eyes so I'm going to let that sit for a little bit.

The first thing that you want to do when you get those lashes off of the package, you want to measure. If the lash is like super long then you're going to want to trim the lashes. I think I'm good with this length. If you want to cut the lashes you see how it's small and then it gets longer? You want to cut from the longer side, okay? It'll look weird if you cut it from the short side. While the glue's drying, what you want to do is just bend your lashes. This will help your lashes better fit your eyes instead of it being like super straight and stuff. See how it's just going to have that natural curve and it'll be easier for you to apply your lashes on.

I'm going to take my lash and I'm going to take my glue and I'm just going to put it on and okay, just like that. I'll do my right eye first. I'm just going to blow down on my lash so it dries a little faster. Usually on clients, I do not do that. I think it's kind of nasty for you to blow on what's going to go on their eye, you know. Just like a little sanitary tip. Okay, so you take your lash, right, some people use tweezers but honestly I'm scared to death to use tweezers. I usually just use my, you know, just put it on with my hands. You could use tweezers if you want to put tweezers; if you want to put the lash on with tweezers then people have a better grip of it. You know it's really up to you, okay?

I hope you guys can see this. I'm just going to put it on and you want to get as close to the lash line as possible. Can you see that? I like to hold down both sides, both ends of it. I just hold it down for a few seconds and then I'll push it in just like that. Don't worry because that white glue is going to dry clear. Some of them dry black. It's really whatever glue you want to buy?

Oh, I'm sorry. Okay, so I'm taking a brush, I'm sorry; I'm just so used to like doing it. I'm taking just the end of a brush and I'm using that to pat down on the glue and that helps me instead of using my hands to get in the little cracks. I just kind of pat it down. What I also like to do is, I like to fluff it up too. This might interfere with your lashes actually so you want to be sure that it has a pretty good grip on your eyes already with the glue. Your glue's starting to dry and stuff. Then you'll want to fluff it up after that because instead of drying straight it'll have a little fluff.

I'm going to let that dry and everything and I'm going to do my other lash and I'll be right back. It's still drying but now I'm going to just fluff it up. You could tell here already that it's drying clear, just has a little more drying to do. You might put it on in some crazy way, right? It might not be totally perfectly on your eye, for example me. You could see here I kind of, oh focus. You could see here I went kind of high and then here I went kind of high and then it was just, yeah. I have like weird folds in my eye anyway.

I'm going to take my liner and I'm just going to trace over that and then it'll look like I put it on perfectly. You could put on liner to your liking if you want it to be really thick or really thin. When it comes to lashes I just try to conceal the fact that I put on lashes. You could already see I just drew a thick line and it's pretty much getting rid of my mistakes that I made with my lash. I'm just going to get in here. My girlies with contacts, I wear clear contacts because I have astigmatism. I suggest that even with regular eye make up, when you put on mascara and all that stuff, I've been through my contacts and it's just so much easier to just put on contacts after all your eye make up is applied.

For me, sometimes I'll slip up and I'll put some make up on my contacts. I'm wearing them right now though so I could see the screen while I'm filming but I would put it on afterwards if it's not an issue. If you need your contacts because you totally cannot see anything then of course you're going to have to wear them. You don't want to make any mistakes on your face when you put on your make up but if it's possible to just apply your contacts after, then do that.

I'll finish the other eye off camera but I wanted to show you guys. This is what it looks like. It might look a little too thick for everybody but I know it's really, I really just wanted to conceal the fact that I messed up. If you don't mess up then you won't really have to make it that thick? Some people will curl theirs, I don't because it's sometimes hard for me to fit all the lashes into the lash curler. I'm going to put on mascara and I'm going to use my Revlon Max. This pretty much seals the deal. Sometimes people don't put on mascara after lashes but I feel like it just ties in your natural lashes with your fake. I love to put mascara. Now put it under.

We're all done with that. I hope that you guys find this video helpful. You guys are probably getting scared of staring at my eyeball that's all up in your screen. I hope that this is helpful to you guys and I'll talk to you guys soon. Bye.
