How to apply false eyelashes

The way i like to apply false eyelashes and find easiest to do so is to start of by measuring your eyelashes against your own eye before applying any glue.
Using a mirror if you hold the eyelash strip with a pair of tweezers as this is so much easier to manage rather than using your fingers, place the eyelash strip on top of your own eyelashes from the inner corner of your eye where the tear duct is to the outer edge, this way you will see if they need trimmed down at all, most eyelashes i find always need a little but off to make them fit comfortably as you dont want any overlapping your natural eye shape as this will feel uncomfortable and also will make them come off easier (always trim eyelashes from the outer side a little bit at a time always checking against your eye).
Once you have the correct size now you want to again hold the lashes with your tweezers and run a small line of the lash glue along the top part of the lashes (glue can come in clear, white or black formula so its easier to see) let the glue sit for a few seconds (until it starts to dry and becomes tacky to touch) then you are ready to apply.
Sit the lash strip on top of your own eyelashes and push onto them very slightly into place, pushing on both edges so they sit comfortably on your own lashes, if you feel there not quite in line then simply remove and place on again.
Once you have them in place leave them to sit for a few seconds to set and thats you finished!
It can be complicated the first few times but keep at it and you should get the hang of it and find it realy easy to do.

The glue will dry clear but a good tip to make your lashes even more defined is to run some eyeliner (liquid or gel i find is best in this case) along the top lash line where the false lashes are and where you sometimes can see the glue.
