Glamour and glitz of fake eyelashes: makeup tips to use them

Fake eyelashes are made of either artificial or natural hair. The synthetic fake eyelashes are suitable for cosmetic purposes while the natural hair ones are generally used for medical supplementation in case of eyelash loss due to ill health.

There are full and individual fake eyelashes available; the former give a glamorous look to the face while the individual ones are aimed at a natural, feminine look and are used in the exterior of the eyes to give a sensual sweep to the natural lashes.

Colored fake eyelashes give a dramatic and vibrant appearance to the eyes and when brushed with mascara, do up deep black and brown eyes in a mesmerizing way.

How to apply fake eyelashes: tips and techniques

Most packets of fake lashes come with specific instructions. However, the first step is always to review the length of the lashes by putting them close to the natural ones and trimming with scissors.

The face and eyes need to be covered smoothly with foundation and concealer with the person, preferably, standing before a magnifier mirror. Small amounts of glue are dotted in the position of the fake lashes, which may take a few seconds to dry.

The fake eyelashes, maneuvered onto the natural lash line, can be further adjusted with fingertips, tweezers or a toothpick.
