It's almost Halloween!!!! Love that! Now, one of the favorite things to wear/use on Halloween are fake eyelashes. They are a challenge, even for the seasoned makeup pro. So, for those of you who really, really want to wear them, let's discuss a few helpful tips. 1. Individual lashes are a skillion times easier than the strip ones. Grab a pair of tweezers, dip the end of the bunch into a dab of glue and stick them exactly where you want them.
2. No good? Do you have a strip that you want to use? Well, you have 2 options. You can always cut them in half or in thirds. It makes them MUCH easier to handle. Or, you can leave them whole. When you are applying the eyelash glue to the strip(s), make sure that it is a THIN layer. Allow the glue to dry slightly. If it's still very wet, it's just going to be a big mess on your eyelids. When the glue is just tacky, start at the inner corner of your eye and SLOOOOOWLY and carefully lay the strip as close to your lashline as possible. If you screw up, don't panic. Just pull the lash off, peel off the glue, and start over.
This is definitely a job for a steady hand and a cool head. Make sure that you have plenty of time to put them on and good lighting. Also, curl your real eyelashes before you put your fake ones on and then apply mascara after you put them on to help blend them together.
