Step-by-Step Guide to Applying False Lashes
1. Choose the Right Lashes
Select lashes that match your eye shape and the look you’re going for—natural, dramatic, or somewhere in between. Lightweight, wispy lashes are best for beginners.
2. Measure and Trim
Hold the lash strip against your eyelid to measure the fit. Trim the outer edge if it extends past your natural lash line.
3. Apply the Glue
Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the lash band. Wait about 30 seconds until the glue becomes tacky—this makes it easier to stick.
4. Place the Lashes
Using tweezers or an applicator, place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start from the center, then adjust the inner and outer corners.

5. Press and Hold
Gently press along the lash band to secure it in place. Use your fingers or tweezers to pinch your natural and false lashes together for a seamless look.
6. Blend with Mascara and Eyeliner
Once the glue is dry, apply a coat of mascara to blend your lashes. Touch up with eyeliner to hide the lash band if needed.
Tips for Long-Lasting Wear
- Use waterproof lash glue for extra hold.
- Carry a small tube of glue for touch-ups.
- Always remove lashes before sleeping to avoid eye irritation.
How to Remove False Lashes
Gently peel the lash from the outer corner. Use a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to clean off any leftover glue.
