Do I put them on first, before any other eye makeup? What about mascara? I have blond eyelashes, so I'll need mascara for my real lashes to blend in with the fake. Would I put the mascara on before or after I apply the lashes? Any other tips are also appreciated-thanks!
Put the fake eyelashes on first, then do your eyemake-up. This is how I always do it. Put mascara on last as well.
For about 10 dollars at Mac nordstrom beauty counter..u can buy them and they can put them on you and do a free beauty consult.
I always put on all my make up and then apply the fake lashes on my lashes as close a posssible to eye lid but on lashes. Also buy a glue that dries clear and the trick to applying fake lashes is to let the glue get tacky so it wont move or lift when applying. I wear the end of lashes only and get them at mac they are nice and natural ask for #20. Then put on mascara to top and bottom so that your lashes stick to the fake ones. I have been wearing them daily for 6 years.
Before and I would suggest buying eyelash glue. I know some eyelashes are self-adhesive but it doesn't last very long. My cousin wears fake eyelashes to every occasion that involves pics lol and she swears by the eyelash glues vs self-adhesive. I used the joint end of the tweezers to press down the corners first then towards the middle of the eyelashes/eyelid after I put them on as well, just to be sure they were on tight.
Ok, I do my eye, minus the eye liner... then I place the lashes on (when I wear them they hinder my blending and such so I do it after but do not put make up right on the lash line. I place the lashes on (typically tracks), with glue then I use liquid liner to blend in the tracks so it is not obvious. I do not like for myself the singles they just make me crazy to take out. Make sure you allow the glue to get tacky before using, and yes use mascara, gently on the lashes to blend them in. For this you should not need a heavy duty type mascara just a good quality.
When I used to wear them I applyed them first. They stick better on clean dry skin than they do over make up. I have blond lashes as well I used mascara and eye shadow as well. Remember choose a pair that looks as natural as possible. J.
I always do my eyeshadow first. With all the blending it moves your eyelid which can loosen the glue. Then I put on the fake lashes, add my eyeliner and then mascara. I also second the eyelash glue and *not* the self adhesive ones.
Make sure you cut the band to the right size if your using full lashes. Some of the bands are longer then a persons natural lash line. I like the full bands rather then the individuals, but I like a dramatic eye, so thats what works for me.
Do a test run before the special night out. Good Luck!
