How To Apply Fake Lashes With Glue Step By Step

Wearing falsies (false eyelashes) is a great way to enhance your natural beauty. They can make your eyes look wider, longer, and more voluminous.

However, if you've never worn lashes before, the process of applying them can seem daunting.

Don't worry – we're here to help you apply false eyelashes! In this post, we'll walk you through the process of applying fake lashes with lash glue step by step.

By the end, you'll be a pro at applying falsies like a boss!

Before you choose your lashes, you need to know about the different types.

False strip eyelashes come in a wide variety of styles and varieties, each offering its own unique look. To help you find the perfect style for your eyes, here are some of the most popular types of false strip eyelashes:

Human Hair Lashes

As their name suggests, these lashes are made from real human hair.

They have a natural look and feel that is highly sought after by those looking to create soft and subtle looks.

Human hair lashes will vary in thickness depending on the desired effect; from thin wispy strands to thicker full volume sets.

Synthetic Lashes

Synthetic fur eyelash extensions offer a more intense and glamorous look than natural lash sets without being too heavy or clumpy-looking.

These can be found in various lengths and thicknesses, so you can play around with different looks until you find one that suits your individual needs perfectly! Most synthetic brands also use vibrant colors for added drama!

Magnetic Eyelashes

Unlike traditional false lashes which need glue to stay on, magnetic false lashes are held on (or rather off) by semi-permanent magnets placed along both ends of the strips themselves!

Perfectly safe for sensitive skin types as they don’t cause any irritation or harm while adhered properly, they are especially great if you want an easy yet secure application without any fuss!

Multi Layer Strip Lash Sets

If layers upon layers of lush lashes is what dream evenings out consists out of then multi layer strip lash sets were definitely designed with this type person mind!

Create wilder yet classic appearances with ease as these sets contain multiple bands pre-stitched together at varying lengths so all you need to do is apply them correctly onto your lids and watch as magical skies arrive within minutes!

Now that you know the different types of lashes, it's time to make a decision!

Step 1: Choose Your Lashes

The first step in applying false lashes with glue is to choose your strip lashes. There are many different types and styles of falsies available on the market, so it's important to choose a pair that compliments your eye shape and desired look.

For example, if you have round eyes, you might want to try a pair of long, dramatic lashes that will help elongate your eye shape.

Or, if you're going for a more natural look, you might opt for a shorter pair of faux lashes. Once you've chosen your desired style of lash, it's time to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Apply The Glue

Now that you've chosen your falsies, it's time to apply the glue to the lash strip. Be sure to use an adhesive that is specifically designed for falsies – regular old school glue will not work!

Also, do not use professional lash glues designed for individual lash extensions. If you do, you may end up in the hospital with eye damage.

To apply the glue, start by dabbing a small amount onto the back of your hand. Then, using a toothpick or other sharp object, pick up a small amount of glue and apply it along the base of the falsies.

Try to keep the amount of glue as minimal as possible – too much will cause the falsies to slide around and not adhere properly. Give the glue a minute to dry a little and get tacky. They will stick better that way.

Step 3: Apply The Lashes

Once you've applied the glue to the base of the false lash, it's time to put it on! Using tweezers (or your fingers), carefully place the falsies as close to your upper lash line as possible.

If necessary, gently press down on the falsies starting at the inner corner until they adhere properly. Be careful not to press too hard or use too much force – this could cause the falsies to come off or break.

If everything goes according to plan, your falsies should now be securely in place. At this point, all that's left to do is apply some mascara (optional) and enjoy your fabulous new look!

Step 4: Practice, Practice Practice!

Applying lashes with glue doesn't have to be difficult or stressful – we hope this blog post has helped demystify the process for you.

Now practice makes progress. It will get easier every time you do it.

Just remember to take things slowly and be gentle when handling both the false eyelashes and your own natural lashes. With a little practice (and patience), you'll be able to apply falsies like a boss in no time.
