How to apply false eyelashes to look natural

A reporter once asked international superstar Angelica Jolie, if you could only put one thing in your makeup bag, what would you choose? Her answer was mascara. It can be seen that eyelashes are important to makeup. But for girls whose eyelashes are not long enough, false eyelashes are the greatest invention, and how to apply false eyelashes is a compulsory task before putting on makeup. So let's learn how to apply false eyelashes to make them look natural!

1. Tools/Raw Materials

Eyelash curler, mascara, scissors, eyelash glue, cotton swabs, eyeliner

2. Steps/Methods

After the eyeliner and eye shadow steps are completed, start working on the false eyelashes. First, use the prepared eyelash curler to clamp the eyelashes to avoid the phenomenon of delamination caused by the different curvatures of the eyelashes and false eyelashes.

Without applying eyelash glue, compare the curvature of false eyelashes with eyelashes to prepare;

After measuring the length of the eyelashes, trim the false eyelashes appropriately, starting from the longer side of the false eyelashes. The length of the false eyelashes should be 1 mm longer than the outer corner of the eye, which can make the eyes look bigger.

When applying eyelash glue, be careful to ensure that the lower side is applied downwards and the upper side is applied upwards. When applying false eyelashes, first determine the middle position and then apply it to the end of the eye. If you apply it to the end of the eye first, the eye head will easily rise and it will be difficult to control the effect.

Use a cotton swab to press the middle of the false eyelashes, and then gently brush left and right, so that the eyelids and false eyelashes are more closely attached, which is also a key step to make the false eyelashes look more natural;

Finally, use eyeliner to fill the gap between real and false eyelashes. Be careful not to apply eye shadow to prevent eye shadow powder from sticking to false eyelashes.

3. The first step: check the length of false eyelashes

Many false eyelashes you buy do not match your eye shape and eye length. Therefore, when using false eyelashes, you should first use tweezers to pick up the false eyelashes and compare them at the root of the eyelashes. If the false eyelashes are longer than your own eyes, you need to cut them to the same width as your own eye shape. The tail of the false eyelashes should not exceed your own eyelashes. Therefore, there should be 1/4 space left at the corner of the eye for false eyelashes, otherwise it will be uncomfortable when closing your eyes.

Step 2: Curl your own eyelashes

Before applying false eyelashes, you should first curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler, and then apply mascara. Because your own eyelashes are not as curled as false eyelashes, in order to make the effect natural and realistic after applying false eyelashes, you need to curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler before applying false eyelashes. Applying mascara can also help fix the curvature of the eyelashes.

Step 3: Glue the false eyelashes

After the curvature of your own eyelashes is fixed, pick up the prepared false eyelashes with the roots facing up, and then use the hand that is not holding the false eyelashes to carefully squeeze the glue onto the false eyelashes. Note that you should not squeeze too much at one time when squeezing the eyelash glue, otherwise the eyelash glue will flow onto the eyelashes. When applying the eyelash glue, you should start from the middle and apply it to both sides, so that there will be more glue on the beginning and end of the eye, because these two parts are more likely to fall off. A more easily mastered method of application is to squeeze a little glue, apply a small section, squeeze a little glue, apply a small section, and repeat this process until the entire surface is covered. The direction is still from the middle to the sides as just mentioned.

Step 4: How much eyelash glue should be used

The biggest difficulty for many people when applying false eyelashes is that they don’t know how much glue to use. Therefore, the editor of 7li will explain here that the thickness of false eyelash glue is about 0.5~1 mm, because if there is too little glue, it cannot stick to the false eyelashes well. After squeezing the eyelash glue, wait for 30 seconds until the false eyelash glue is semi-dry, because the viscosity is the highest at this time.

Step 5: Apply false eyelashes

When the glue on the false eyelashes is half dry, use tweezers to pick up the middle of the eyelashes. At this time, it does not refer to the root of the middle of the false eyelashes, but to use tweezers to pick up the eyelashes in the middle of the false eyelashes, and then approach the root of the real eyelashes from just above your real eyelashes. Align the center of the false eyelashes with the center of the real eyelashes. Be careful not to let the roots with glue touch your real eyelashes.

Step 6: How to stick false eyelashes on the eyes

First stick the middle part, which should be within 0.5-1 mm above the real eyelashes. It is glued on the eyelid, very close to the real eyelashes but not pressed tightly on the real eyelash line because it will press down the real eyelashes that have been curled.

Step 7: How to stick false eyelashes to the end of the eye

Glue the end of the eye. Use tweezers to hold the tail of the false eyelashes, gently stretch them toward the end of the eye and press them within 0.5-1 mm above the eyelash line at the end of the eye. The purpose of stretching is to prevent the excess part in the middle from bending out, but don't use too much force. The middle of the false eyelashes should still be in the position just fixed.

Step 8: How to stick false eyelashes on the eyelids

Glue the eye part. This time, use tweezers to clamp the hair on the head of the false eyelashes, gently stretch it toward the beginning of the eye and press it within 0.5 mm above the eyelash line at the end of the eye (1 mm would be too high, it needs to be closer to the real eyelashes to look natural).

Step 9: Final shaping of false eyelashes

After applying the false eyelashes, use your fingers to hold it and correct the curvature before the glue dries completely. Don't lift your eyelashes too high, as this will separate them from your real eyelashes. Don't push it too low, as this will make the eyes look smaller. Hold it at a height that you are satisfied with for about 30 seconds, and this will fix the height of the eyelash curl.
