Simplest way to Fix "false" Eye lashes - [ladies]
False lashes are all the rave and are here to stay. Unfortunately, strip
lashes aren't one-size-fits-all. When it comes to applying the strands
of false lashes individually, you are better off and safer with your
beautician but strip lashes has never been this easy. Here's how to
find the ideal lash type for your eye shape, and how to apply them so
they look natural and last.
√ Deep-set eyes: When your eyes are set deeper into the head creating
an illusion of a more prominent brow bone. Try lashes that are longer
in length at the center of the lashes.
√ Downturned eyes: When the outer corners of the eyes appear to be
drawing downwards. Try a shorter strip lash that is longer in the outer
corners to lift your eyes.
√ Hooded eyes: When the crease on your eyelid isn't visible. Try a thin
strip lash in a shorter length.
√ Prominent eyes: When your eyelids appear projected in the eye socket
area. Try balancing your top lashes with strip lashes on the bottom,
too, which will give the illusion of pushing back your eyes. Also,
consider if your eyes are close or wide-set. The close or wide set eye
test Using a pencil, pen or makeup brush, look into a mirror and place
your tool from the inner corner of the eye to the outside edge, which
will let you measure your eye.
Technically you should be able to fit the width of one of your eyes
perfectly in between the two eyes. When you get overlap, i.e. there's
less than one eyeball width space apart, you tend to have close-set
eyes, so you want to create the illusion of drawing them apart with
lashes that are longer at the outer corners.
If the space is bigger than one eyeball width, you have wide-set eyes
and want the emphasis to be towards the center and inner corner of
the lashes to draw the eyes together.
√ Removing the lashes from their case
Hold them in the packet under your nose with the lashes facing
outwards; this will identify the left and right lashes, as they're not
always marked. To remove always peel them from the outer edge,
never from the inner corner.
If you bend one section of lashes on the outside it doesn't matter, as
it's more than likely you'll be trimming them off to fit your eyes
anyway. If you bend or break the lash from the inner corner, it
matters! Gently tease it out using your fingers or tweezers and rest
the lashes back in the box.
√ Measure up the lashes
Rest the strip lash along your lash line to see whether you need to
trim it to size. The strip should start where your natural bulk of
eyelashes begin; if you start too close to the inner corner it will irritate
your eyes.
√ To mark where your strip lashes should end, go to the outer corner
and count 2 to 4 lashes inwards. If you have them hanging over, it
can pull the eyes down.
Trimming the lashes to desired size If you have to trim your lashes to
fit, remember to do it from the outside edge and don't cut through the
lashes, always cut them at the vein. If you cut upwards you'll chop
half of other lashes off you wanted to keep.
√Preventing pop ups
Sometime lashes can flatten when you take them out of the box and
therefore pop up at the inner or outer corners once applied.
To avoid this, roll the lashes around your finger, a makeup brush, pen
or cotton bud and leave for a minute, this will help them remain more
curved in shape.
√ Applying the glue correctly
Dot a thin layer of glue straight from the adhesive applicator, along
the vein of the lash, from corner to corner. Wait a few seconds for it to
go tacky before application. If you want super long-lasting application
do the 'double adhesive' technique by applying some dots of glue
along your lash line as well as on the lashes.
√ Where to apply the lashes
Remembering to place them where your natural bulk of eyelashes
begin, look down and press the strip lash against your lash line in the
center, the outer edge and the inner corner.
√ Bonding the lashes
Having mascara to start with lets you pinch and push your natural
lashes and the false lashes together so they set well. Squeeze the
strip lash down onto the natural lashes so you don't end up with a
strip of skin between your lashes and the false lashes. Carefully use
eyelash tweezers or simply your fingertips.
√ Create uplifts
If you want to create more uplift with your lashes, finish by gently
pushing against the lashes at the edge of the inner lash line.
