How to Apply Individual False Eyelashes. Looking for a little extra flair? You could get eyelash
extensions, or even eyelash transplants; but applying false eyelashes is a lot easier and
you can do it all by yourself. You will need Some clear-drying eyelash adhesive Individual
false lashes A clean surface Tweezers A mirror An eyelash curler And mascara and a pencil
or liquid eyeliner (optional). Step 1. Put two or three drops of adhesive onto a clean
surface. For a more dramatic look, apply a thin line of eyeliner on your upper lash line.
Step 2. Grab an individual fake lash with the tweezers. Step 3. Dip the base of the
lash into the adhesive. Step 4. Starting at the outer corner, place a single false lash
onto the base of your natural lashes with the tweezers, putting it as close to the roots
as possible. Concentrate lashes toward the outer corners for a more youthful, doe-eyed
look. Step 5. Hold each lash in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set. Step
6. Repeat until as many lashes as you desire are in place. Step 7. Allow all the lashes
to dry for at least 30 seconds. Step 8. Curl the lashes to fuse the falsies with your natural
lashes. Step 9. Apply mascara to both eyes, concentrating at the base of your lash line
to further adhere the false and natural lashes together. Now you're now ready for your close-up.
