How To: Applying Your Plush Winks Lashes

Today, we’re going to talk about one of the trickiest parts of applying makeup – false lashes. False lashes can be a great way to add some extra oomph to your eye look, but they can also be pretty intimidating if you’re not used to applying them. But fear not! With a little practice, you’ll be a false lash pro in no time. Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to apply false lashes:

Step 1: Choose Your Lashes The first step in applying false lashes is to choose the right pair for you. There are many different types of false lashes available, from natural-looking wispy lashes to full-on dramatic lashes. Consider the occasion and your personal style when choosing your lashes. For beginners, I recommend starting with a more natural-looking pair to get the hang of things such as our Paris Plush Winks.

Step 2: Trim Your Lashes Once you’ve chosen your lashes, the next step is to trim them to fit your eye shape. Hold the lash strip up to your eye and measure it against your lash line. If the strip is too long, use a pair of scissors to trim off the excess from the outer corner of the strip. Be sure to trim from the outer corner and not the inner corner to maintain the shape of the lashes.

Step 3: Apply Glue Now it’s time to apply the glue. Squeeze a small amount of lash glue onto the back of your hand or onto a clean surface. Use a cotton swab or a small brush to apply a thin, even layer of glue along the lash band. Be sure to get enough glue on the ends of the strip, as these tend to come loose more easily.

Step 4: Wait for the Glue to Dry This is the part where patience is key. Wait a few seconds for the glue to become tacky before applying the lashes. This will help the lashes adhere more easily and prevent them from sliding around.

Step 5: Apply the Lashes Now it’s time to apply the lashes. Using a pair of tweezers or your fingers, gently place the lash strip as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start at the outer corner of your eye and work your way inward. Use your fingers or the back of a brush to press the lashes down and make sure they’re secure.

Step 6: Blend Your Lashes Once the glue has dried, use a mascara wand to blend your natural lashes with the false lashes. This will help to create a more seamless look.

Step 7: Add Mascara Finally, apply a coat of mascara to your lashes to further blend them together. This will help to create a more natural-looking finish. Make sure to apply your lashes last, after you have applied all of your eye makeup.

And there you have it! With a little practice, applying false lashes can be a breeze. Just remember to be patient, choose the right lashes for you, and take your time with the application process. Happy lashing! As always; take a real good look in the mirror before you leave the house.
