Easy Tips for Rocking Faux Eyelashes
Even the most makeup-savvy among us might struggle a bit with false
eyelashes. Undoubtedly, it can be a bit difficult to apply these lash
accessories, but the results are certainly worth it as false eyelashes
can make your eyes appear bigger, bolder, and captivate everyone’s
attention.
Luckily, applying faux eyelashes doesn’t have to be a pain and once
you’ve done it a few times, even wearing them on a weekday is a breeze.
Here are a few simple tips and tricks to help you nail the perfect look
with faux eyelashes.
Start with a Bold Base
Just as you wouldn’t start with mascara before your eyeshadow or liner, you shouldn't stick on your falsies before you've done the rest of your eye makeup. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, navigating around long faux eyelashes to produce the perfect smoky eye can be tricky. Second, excess makeup on your faux eyelashes can reduce their life expectancy—and no one wants eyeshadow on their lashes, whether they’re fake or not.
So, before you apply your faux lashes, go over your eyes with your desired eyeshadow and eyeliner for sensitive eyes to make your eyes pop even before the big lashes enter the picture. That said, if once you’ve applied your false lashes there’s a gap between them and your natural lash line, feel free to come back and fill it in with eyeliner.
Customize Your Falsies
In a perfect world, your faux eyelashes would be ready to go right out of the box, but for the best results, a few tweaks might be necessary. To get the most authentic and seamless look you should first trim your fake lashes, so they fit your eye shape. More times than not they might be a touch too long out of the box, so snipping the ends a bit isn’t uncommon. Keep in mind you can always take more off but can’t add the length back,so take your time and only trim a little at a time.
Also, you should bend the band of the faux lashes to add a curve before you apply them, which will make application easier. You shouldn't have much trouble getting the lashes to stick the first time around—just make sure to let the glue get slightly tacky before applying.
Look Down
If this is your first time applying faux lashes, you might find the application process a bit daunting. A good trick that many have used with great success is putting their mirror beneath their face, so they have to look down to see. This way you can get a better view of your natural lash line and applying your false eyelashes will be much easier.
Go Vegan
While traditional faux eyelashes used to be made almost exclusively with mink, nowadays there are countless cruelty-free, vegan-friendly options available. Thrive Causemetics, for example, offers fake eyelashes made with their proprietary Vegan Silk™. Their products are also all paraben and sulfate-free. With proper care their lightweight lashes will maintain their curl and shape for up to 30 wears.
Don’t Get Irritated
Latex-free eyelash glue is a must when it comes to faux lashes. Seek out a nonirritating formula made without latex or other irritating chemicals that helps hold false eyelashes firmly in place all day long. A waterproof glue is essential for staying power. Just be sure to find one that dries clear and is still easy to remove.
Once you’re done for the day, just use tweezers and a cotton ball or swab soaked with makeup remover to remove the adhesive and lashes. Keep your falsies clean by removing any remaining residue with rubbing alcohol once you’ve taken them off and before storing in a case to keep them protected.
