How to Apply a Full Strip of False Eyelashes. Even in Ancient Greece, women took great pains
to make their eyes more enchanting. These days, all you need is a set of false eyelashes
and a little patience. You will need Some clear-drying eyelash adhesive 2.0 full strips
of false lashes A clean surface A pair of small scissors Some pencil or liquid eyeliner
A pair of tweezers A toothpick A mirror An eyelash curler and some mascara. Step 1. Put
two or three drops of adhesive onto a clean surface. Step 2. Hold a strip up to one upper
eyelid to measure its length against your natural lash line. Trim the outer edge of
the false lashes until the strip is as long as your natural lashes. Step 3. Pick up a
fake lash strip with the tweezers. For easier application, bend the lash in the middle.
Step 4. Dip a toothpick in the glue and apply it along the length of a strip's base. Fully
coat the base with adhesive, but use it sparingly: too much glue will create a lumpy, unnatural
look. Step 5. Blow on the strip for a few seconds until the glue is tacky. Step 6. Guide
the false lash strip to your upper lash line with the tweezers, placing it as close to
the base as possible. Apply the strip first to the center of your lash line—then smooth
it down in both directions. Step 7. Hold the lash strip in place for a few seconds to allow
the glue to set. Step 8. Repeat on the other lid, trimming the strip to the right length,
and gluing the strip to your lid. Step 9. Allow the lashes to dry for at least 30 seconds.
Step 10. Apply a thin line of eyeliner to your upper lash line. If you have trouble
drawing a straight line, make small dots along the base between your lashes, staying as close
to the roots as possible. Step 11. Curl the lashes to fuse the falsies with your natural
lashes. Step 12. Apply mascara to both eyes, concentrating at the base of your lash line
to further adhere the false and natural lashes together. Did you know Jennifer Lopez started
a trend when she wore false eyelashes made from red fox fur to the Academy Awards in
2001.
