Instructions for putting false eyelashes
- The first thing you should do is make up the rest of your face, false eyelashes will be the last thing you do. Do not forget between your makeup, get a pencil or a black eyeliner, a black line on the upper eyelid: it should be as precise as possible on the eyelashes. This will help you to hide a little, if the false blinks when glued are a little up.
- Wash your hands very well.
- If your eyelashes are curtain, you should look very carefully which corresponds to the right eye and which to the left; to know, look at what is the narrowest part of the eyelash, this will correspond to the inside of the eye and therefore the widest to the outside.
- Not all eyes are the same: before you stick the eyelashes you must measure them across your eye (starting from the tear to the temple) on the eyelid, do it in front of a mirror, if you see that it is left over, you must trim it so that it is exact. Also, if you see that the eyelashes came very long, you can trim them to your liking, looking for the way with which you feel most comfortable. When you cut your false eyelashes, look for them not to be too even, because this way they will have a more natural appearance, the eyelashes of the face never grow with the same length. If the eyelashes are group, they do not need to be measured.
- Apply a little glue on the back of the hand that you use the least, take the eyelashes from the center with the tweezers and pass the entire edge (the root) so that they are smeared. The ends should be left with a little more glue. If the eyelashes are cluster, you should apply a drop at the point where they come together.
- Wait about 30 seconds before sticking them on your eyelid. Proceed to stick them to a millimeter of the tear towards the center of the eye.
- You must place them as close as possible to your natural eyelashes, it is important that you slide from top to bottom, so there is more security that they do fit well on the edge.
- Glue them calmly, bit by piece, so that they look great.
- Once your false eyelashes are glued, release them and wait for them to dry, do not hold them or put pressure on them. Once well placed, you can use an eyelash curling iron with the aim that your false and natural eyelashes melt.
