Rock Fake Eyelashes Tonight

Fake eyelashes are a great way to step up your everyday make up regime. Not only do they look great but they’re an inexpensive way to update your whole look. I’m certain that more women would rock fake lashes if they knew how to wear them, because we all know putting these lashes on can be a little tricky at times. Below are some tips that will help you choose the right lashes for you and prepare you to rock them on your next night out!

Choose the right color for YOU
If your hair is fair, stick to brown lashes—black may be too dramatic, except for evening wear. But if you have medium-toned skin and darker lashes, brown/black or black works well.

Find the right length
Try to avoid overly long lashes. It's best to use medium length lashes, which fill in the lash line to make it appear thicker and fuller and add enough length to make your eyes very dramatic but not too long to where people can tell your lashes are fake.


Start with clean lashes
The glue on false eyelashes needs to adhere to both your eyelid and your existing lashes—not to the mascara that you already have on. Since oil can break the glue's bond or prevent it from forming one, make sure you use an oil-free eye makeup remover to remove residue and steer clear of any oil-based creams or makeup on lids or around eyes.


Apply with care
Apply lashes so they rest along your natural lash line. Most glues take about 30 seconds to dry, so you can maneuver the lashes into place and adjust them and then hold until they're secure.


Know your glue
Semi-permanent glue will make your lashes last three to seven days, while temporary glue will last only until the next time you get them wet. I would recommend temporary glue in most cases, just make sure to remove your lashes before going to sleep. Also, never substitute an adhesive that's not intended for eyelashes; this could cause irritation.


Leave lashes alone
For many women, the urge to play with the lashes can be hard to resist, but this can transfer oils from your hands to your eyes, causing lashes to come off more quickly. Also, when you're in the shower, avoid letting the water run directly over your eyes (the friction from the water can loosen the adhesive).


Remove carefully
Use an oil-based remover to take off lashes. Never pull on them to get them off, as this will just pull on the skin of your lid or might even pull out some of your natural lashes.


Now go rock those eyelashes!
