Secrets to Applying Silk Eyelashes
Silk eyelashes are in vogue, but application can be tricky. False eyelashes can become your best makeup accessory if you know what you’re doing. Here are some tips for having beautiful, long-lasting silk eyelashes:
Preparing Your Lashes
-
- Remove makeup – Before applying the false eyelashes, remove any eye makeup you may have on. Clean eyelids will help ensure a secure and smooth adhesive bond.
-
- Curl lashes and apply mascara – Before applying the false eyelashes, curl your natural lashes and apply a coat of mascara. This will make it easier to blend your natural lashes with the false ones.
-
- Measure lashes – You want the false lashes to fit your eye shape. To make sure it does, hold the lash strip up to your eye and trim accordingly.
Applying Lashes
-
- Apply adhesive – Run a small line of adhesive along the lash strip and wait several seconds for the adhesive to set.
-
- Place lashes – Position the lashes on the natural crease of your eyelid. Gently press the strips into place with your finger. If needed, use a tweezer to make sure the strips are properly settled.
-
- Blend lashes – Comb your natural and false lashes together with an eyelash comb.
Maintenance
-
- Remove properly – Gently peel off the strips from the outer corner, and never pull your lashes off. This will reduce the chances of damage on your natural lashes.
-
- Clean and store – Use a makeup remover to take off the adhesive, and store the false lashes in the box they came in.
Having a beautiful set of silk eyelashes is easy if you know how to apply them correctly. With a little bit of patience, you can have stunning lashes that will last all day!
