I wanted to know how to apply individual eyelashes.
For those special occasions when more is more.
Truthfully, I’m frightened of the process… too complicated… but I have seen that they make all the difference.
Applying individual false lashes gives a more natural look than strip lashes.
The individual lashes mean you can add as few or as many as needed and it almost impossible to tell that they aren’t natural.
I was assured that if I followed these simple instructions… I could apply them myself and … I would never look back.
The result… enough to say… I will be wearing them often… xv
The How
apply a natural eye makeup.
curl the lashes using the shu uemura eye lash curler
apply a slick of mascara and allow the lashes to dry
place a pea sized amount of ‘duo’ adhesive to the back of the hand
** this is the secret… all the professionals use this glue and it is the gentlest
with tweezers pick up the first cluster of lashes and delicately dip the base of them into the adhesive
allow the ‘duo’ to dry slightly for about 30 seconds on the lashes before applying.
this allows the adhesive to become tacky before application
using tweezers, gently place the cluster of lashes as close as possible onto the eyelid, working from the middle of the lash line outwards
to help the lashes stick, use a Q tip or cotton bud to press the lashes into place
if the adhesive is still visible this isn’t a problem as once it dries it becomes transparent
Once all the lashes have been applied and the adhesive has fully dried (this should only take about 2 minutes), add a little extra mascara.
Additional eyeliner can also be added if needed to blend the lashes into the natural eye lashes.
