TUTORIAL: Putting false eye lashes on | SwipeSomeGloss

Jan

Out of the three tutorials I posted in my personal site last year, I believe this is the one that has garnered the most views and comments. I think it’s because of my beautiful friend Shazen’s comment… ;)


Just g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s!!!

I hope you’ll enjoy this tut as much as I enjoyed creating it! :)
Tools of Trade:

VERY IMPORTANT


Do your makeup BEFORE putting those falsies on. Oh and yes, I did exaggerate the lower lash work for drama! ;)
Step 1: Curl + apply mascara

Step 2: Cut and re-shape your falsies


I got lucky on this pair that I didn’t need to cut it. To re-shape (this makes the application easier), dot a bit of glue on both ends and hold it up your fingers like the one on the photo for a minute.

Step 3: Apply adhesive


Apply a thin line of adhesive and wait for it to be a bit tacky since it won’t stick properly if it’s still fresh/wet.

NOTE: I was a bit lazy to clean up the falsies before doing this tut. The glue in between the lashes’re there since I bought it. This is the drawback when you buy those cheap China ones. :(
Step 4: Use those tweezers!


I usually use 2 tweezers where I hold the falsies on both ends but I feel like challenging myself a bit today and held it using just one. :p

Step 5: Look down at the mirror


Doing this will straighten up your lid and you’ll see EVERYTHING too!

Step 6: Apply and press


Go from the outside all the way inside the lid area. I pressed the falsies to set in place with the other end of the tweezers.

And VIOLA! You’re done!!! :)
