Natural is in: Gone are the days of stiff, synthetic and theatrical looking eyelashes. The modern avatar of fake eyelashes is natural in appearance and extremely flexible. While buying them at the store, make sure you buy lashes which are light and have spaces between the lashes. This helps immensely in easy blending with your original eye lashes. This is one of the most important tip for wearing fake eye lashes, for beginners

Cutting up the lashes: When you buy the fake eyelashes, you will get a whole, long lash strip. The trick is to cut a single lash into half with cuticle scissors. When you cut the eye lash strip, ensure that each lash piece has one end with short bristles and the other with long bristles. This will help you recreate the doe-eyed and lovely retro look.

Shaping the lashes: It is important to shape the fake eyelash and mold it before applying it. Squish the fake lashes inwards, pull the eye lash band down on one side and up the other side to make it flexible.

Check the length: Before sticking the eyelashes, it is important to keep them against the eyelids and check if the length suits your eyes and matches the requirements. In case it is longer, you can always trim down the extra bit.

Apply eyeliner & eye shadow: Apply a generous coat of liquid liner to give you an idea where should the lashes start. This helps you in keeping within the lash line and avoids deviations. You can also apply eye-shadow before sticking on the fake lashes to avoid a mess later.

Use adhesive slightly: Do not slather huge quantities of adhesive to stick on the fake lashes. Instead, apply a neat line of adhesive onto the band of fake eye lash. Wait for some time after applying the adhesive as it sticks better and then fix it to your eyelids.

Handling the bristles: Ensure that the short bristles come up halfway along the eyelid and the longer bristles reach the end of your eye. While fixing the eyelash band, make sure you are sticking it from above the eye lid and not the front. The idea is to get the fake lashes as close as possible to the lash line.
