This is one of the crucial steps on how to apply false eyelashes. The right and left lash signs are not marked inside all boxes. To identify, hold the packet with falsies facing outwards under your nose. While removing, peel off from outer edge and not from inner corner. Use tweezers or finger tips to gently place back the lashes inside the box.
Lash Measurement
First bring the strip lash along lash line to check the length and whether it needs to be trimmed to size. Remember the strip must start from the line where eyelashes begin. Do not get too close to the inner corners as it might lead to irritation. Next, mark outer corner by taking two to four lashes inwards to determine where the lashes must end.
