Fake Lashes

This may seem trivial but applying fake lashes is an art. First of all, deciding what type of lashes to wear is crucial. If you are going for more of a natural look then I would recommend individual lashes :)

They come in different sizes: Short, Medium & Long. Now using individual eyelashes can actually give you quite a dramatic look depending on how many you apply and the length. Personally these are my favourite type of lashes because they don't weigh down your eye lids causing 'lazy eye'. Just remember, with individual eye lashes, you want to apply them after you curl your eyelashes and after you have applied your mascara. If you don't then the mascara wand could possibly pull the lashes off. When gluing the lashes, make sure you let the glue get tacky first by letting it set for a few moments before applying it to your lash line. This allows them to adhere better and prevents them for falling off or turning sideways while the glue is drying. 

Strip lashes are always fun :) There are so many different styles for different occasions. 

These tend to be a little more challenging to apply but it gets easier with practice ;)

First of all, you want to measure the lashes to your eye lid to see if they are the right length. If they are too long across the lid (inner corner to outer corner), I would suggest trimming off some of the inner lashes. Apply strip lashes after your eye make up is done and your lashes have been curled. Once they have been applied and the glue has dried then you may apply mascara, although you don't have to put on mascara if the lashes are already quite bold. Now remember, these lashes can be heavy if you're not used to wearing them, so I would advise against wearing them for the first time at events such as weddings, particularly if you are in the bridal party. No one wants to be the bridesmaid with their eyes half open in all the photos.
