MATERIALS NEEDED
Before diving into the application process, it's essential to gather all the tools and products you'll need. Having everything on hand will make the process smoother and more enjoyable.
Here’s a handy checklist to ensure you’re fully prepared:
- Chosen Pair of Lashes: Pick your favourite MODELROCK lashes that best suit the look you're going for. Whether it's a natural or dramatic style, having the right pair is the first step towards fabulous lashes.
- Mirror: A good mirror is your best friend during the application process. Ideally, use a magnifying mirror to get a close-up view of your lash line for precise placement.
- Scissors: A small pair of scissors will come in handy for trimming the lashes to fit your eye shape perfectly. Remember, a well-fitted lash looks more natural and feels more comfortable.
- Lash Glue: High-quality lash glue is a must for keeping your lashes secure all day or night. Look for a clear or dark formula, depending on your preference and the look you're aiming for.
- Tweezers or Lash Applicator: These tools are essential for precise application. Tweezers or a lash applicator will help you place the lashes accurately on your lash line, ensuring they stay in place and look flawless.
- Pro Edge Lash Curler: An open-ended lash curler is a game-changer for blending your natural lashes with the falsies. A quick curl before and after applying your false lashes will help them look seamless and natural.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: HOW TO PUT ON FAKE EYELASHES
Now that you have all your materials ready, it's time to dive into the step-by-step process of applying false eyelashes. Follow these instructions carefully, and you'll be flaunting flawless lashes in no time!
- Step 1: Remove the Lashes from the Tray
Using your tweezers, gently pull your strip lash from its tray. Always pull from the base of the lash, never from the hairs, to avoid damaging them.
- Step 2: Measure the Lashes Against Your Eye
Hold the strip lash against your natural lash line to measure. This will help you determine if you need to trim the lashes for a perfect fit.
- Step 3: Trim the Lashes
If needed, use your scissors to trim the lashes from the outer corner. Be cautious to cut a small amount at a time, ensuring you don't over-trim.
- Step 4: Apply Lash Glue
Apply a thin layer of lash glue along the band of the strip lash. Wait about 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky; this will help the lashes adhere better to your eyelid.
- Step 5: Look Downwards into a Mirror
Position your mirror below your face and look downwards into it. This angle gives you a better view of your lash line, making the application process easier.
- Step 6: Apply the Lashes
Using your lash applicator or tweezers, start by placing the strip lash at the centre of your lash line. Then, carefully tuck in the inner and outer corners. Adjust the position until you're happy with the placement. Ensure the lashes are evenly spaced and follow the natural curve of your eyelid.
- Step 7: Secure the Lashes
Once the lash glue is completely dry, use the pro edge lash curler to gently squeeze your natural and false lashes together. This step helps blend the lashes seamlessly, giving you a natural and cohesive look.
TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Achieving a flawless lash application can take a bit of practice, but these tips will help you get there faster:
Tips for a Flawless Application:
- Always apply the lash glue evenly along the band to avoid clumps.
- Use a magnifying mirror for better precision during application.
- If you have trouble with the inner and outer corners lifting, add a bit more glue to those areas and press down gently until secure.
Troubleshooting Common Issues:
- Too Much Glue: If you accidentally apply too much glue, wait a moment for it to become tacky, then use a clean cotton swab to remove the excess before placing the lash on your lid.
- Misaligned Lashes: If your lashes end up misaligned, gently remove them, add a bit more glue, and try again. It's crucial to ensure the glue is still tacky for a secure fit.
AFTERCARE & MAINTENANCE
Taking proper care of your false eyelashes ensures they last longer and remain in excellent condition for multiple uses. Here’s how to remove and clean your lashes, as well as tips for storage:
- Removing Your False Eyelashes: At the end of the day, gently remove your false eyelashes by starting at the outer corner and slowly peeling them off towards the inner corner. Avoid pulling too hard to prevent damaging both the false lashes and your natural ones.
- Cleaning Your False Eyelashes: Cleaning your lashes is crucial for maintaining their quality and hygiene. Remove any remaining adhesive from the lash band using a pair of tweezers. Then, soak a cotton swab in a gentle, oil-free makeup remover and gently clean the lashes to remove any makeup or residue. Be sure to handle them delicately to avoid altering their shape.
- Storing Your False Eyelashes: After cleaning, store your lashes in their original tray to help maintain their shape and protect them from dust and damage. Keeping them in a clean, dry place will ensure they’re ready for your next use.
