Do you want to change up your look in a matter of seconds?
Wear falsies!
Fake eyelashes provide the easiest way to change up your look in a matter of seconds.
BUT, are false lashes for special occasions or everyday?
I wear falsies on the daily – don’t wait for a special occasion.
Every day is a special occasion!
Let me tell you a true story:
In Seventh Grade, I wore make up to school for the first time. (Bright blue eye shadow, mascara and Bubble Gum pink Lipstick!)…
I didn’t even make it to lunch time. The boys in my class were brutal. They laughed at me and called me a “prostitute”. One boy pinched my neck and left a mark; it looked like a hickey.
I was humiliated, embarrassed and ashamed.
This was a significant emotional experience at 12 years old, that resulted in low self esteem issues and me never wearing makeup again – until I was 40 years old.
(However, I did wear false lashes!)
Ok, let’s face it – fake eyelashes can be a little intimidating.
They’re kinda tricky to put on at first and may seem a bit dramatic when you’re not used to them.
Here’s 5 Tips for Applying False Lashes:
{Prep: Squirt a little drop of * lash glue on the box so it can set a little.}
TIP #1:
Apply black or brown eyeliner pencil on top eyelid. (This way you won’t have “skin” showing if you don’t get the lash strip as close as necessary)
TIP #2:
Gently pull lashes off the package. There is a tiny bit of glue residue – set the lashes on your lash line to make sure the lashes FIT! (Very Important)
TIP #3:
If they are too long -snip the strip. (DO NOT SNIP WHILE LASHES ARE ON YOUR EYES!) – Then, set the lashes on your lash line again to make sure they look good. VERY IMPORTANT: YOU NEED TO DO THIS TO BOTH EYES – EACH OF OUR EYES ARE DIFFERENT SIZES.
TIP #4:
Use a tooth pick or the rounded tip of a makeup brush (that’s a pro tip); dip the tooth pick or brush tip into the drop of * lash glue – apply a fine line of *lash glue along the bottom edge of the strip. Wave it around (don’t blow on it – yuk! spit & bacteria) for at least 30 seconds until glue is tacky. THE SECRET IS TO LET THE GLUE GET TACKY! So it’s not shhmudging all over the place.
TIP #5:
Look DOWN into a mirror (so you can keep your eyes open – to see what the heck you’re doing!) and set the lash strip on the skin just above your natural lashes.
I recommend Duo Lash Glue (It’s waterproof, it dries clear and it sticks!)
BONUS TIP! WHEN YOU’RE REMOVING YOUR LASHES –
Gently pull lash strip from the outside in towards your nose. (Don’t pull straight out!)
Also, I DON’T RECOMMEND that you sleep in your lashes… but if you pass out!… you’ll be okay!
