Applying false lash extensions can be a delicate process, but you can achieve beautiful results with practice. Here’s a general step-by-step guide on how to apply fake lash extensions:
- Prepare your materials: Gather all the necessary materials, including false lash extensions, lash adhesive, tweezers, small scissors (optional), and a mirror.
- Prepare your natural lashes: Ensure that your natural lashes are clean and free of any mascara or makeup residue. You can use a gentle eye makeup remover or micellar water to cleanse them.
- Measure and trim the lash extensions (if needed): Hold the false lash extension against your natural lash line and assess if it’s the right length. If the extensions are longer than your lash line, use small scissors to carefully trim them to the desired length. Trim from the outer edge to maintain the natural taper.
- Apply lash adhesive: Apply a thin layer of lash adhesive along the band of the false lash extension. Wait for a few seconds to allow the adhesive to become tacky. Avoid using too much adhesive to prevent it from dripping or getting into your eyes.
- Positioning the lash extensions: Using a pair of tweezers or your fingertips, carefully position the false lash extension as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start from the center of your lash line and work your way outwards. Aim to place the extension right above your natural lashes, avoiding contact with your skin.
- Press and secure: Once you’ve positioned the lash extension, gently press it down along your lash line. Use the tweezers or your fingers to press the entire length of the false lash against your natural lashes, ensuring it adheres securely.
- Repeat the process: Continue applying lash extensions, working from the center towards the inner and outer corners of your eyes. Adjust the placement as needed to achieve a seamless, natural look.
- Allow the adhesive to dry: Give the lash adhesive enough time to dry completely. This typically takes a few minutes but follows the specific drying time indicated on the adhesive packaging.
- Optional: Apply mascara and blend: If desired, apply a coat of mascara to further integrate your natural lashes with the extensions. However, be cautious when applying mascara to avoid clumping or damaging the extensions.
Remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to applying false lash extensions. Take your time, be patient, and adjust the process to fit your preferences and eye shape.
