Beauty tips : Everything You Need to Know About False Eyelashes

False eyelashes are a very trendy and flirty accessory that every woman should have. But which ones should you go for, and, most importantly, how do you put them on? Here we tell you everything you need to know about false eyelashes.

Which false lashes should you go for?

There are several types of false eyelashes, and some are more noticeable than others. To begin with, you need to determine the effect that you're going for: discreet, glamorous, or original. If you want a more natural look, opt for a pair of eyelashes that are not too long, and which follow the natural curve of your own lashes. If you're going for a more sophisticated look, choose longer eyelashes that are thick and bevelled. These kinds of falsies are perfect for pairing with smokey eye makeup or if you want to make your eyes look bigger. Lastly, for an original look, opt for a pair of lashes bedecked with glitter, feathers or diamonds!

Apply your false lashes in five easy steps:

1. Use an eyelash curler to curl your natural eyelashes.

2. Use a pair of tweezers to remove the false eyelashes from their support, then trim them to the desired length. Use a good pair of scissors and be gentle, this is a delicate operation!

   Pro tip: Your false eyelashes should extend beyond the outside of your eye by about three lashes.

3. Use a cotton swab to apply the glue to the lash strip.

4. Using the tweezers, stick the false eyelashes as close to your natural eyelashes as you can get, starting in the middle of your eye. Then lay the strip on the inner half of your upper lashline, then the outter half.

   Tip: Keep your eye shut so you can better apply the lashes, then press gently on the lash strip with a cotton swab so that your falsies stick properly.

5. With the help of an eye pencil or dark eyeliner, draw a line along the root of your eyelashes to cover up where your false lashes have been applied.
