Applying False Eyelashes
1. Apply Lash Repair, $22 on lashes. When it dries, use Eyelash Curler, $18 and Mascara Basic, $27.50 for a natural look.
2. Using the Slant Tweezers, $32.00, pick the base of the lashes up gently along the edge.
3. Make sure that the lashes are flexible enough to fit the shape of the eyes. Using fingertips, bend the false eyelashes into a U shape.
4. Be sure to test the length and desired position of false lashes before gluing them on to make sure the width matches the width of your eye. Trim the outer edge with scissors if the lashes are too long.
5. Place a drop of Eyelash Adhesive, $8.50 on the back of your hand. Then dip a cotton swab into the adhesive base and transfer it carefully to the base of the lashes.
6. Apply the false lashes close to the eye base and lay them along the lash line starting from the center, then the inner corner, and to the outer corner.
