So How Do You Wear These Lashes?
First of all, you need to prepare your false eyelashes. You can find Red Cherry lashes almost anywhere. They are available in both online and offline stores. If you cannot find them in your local mall, you can get them online.
Of course, you will not be able to apply your falsies without a lash adhesive. This is a special kind of glue that is specifically made for these lashes. Thus, you cannot just use any other glue. Never attempt to use ordinary glue on these lashes. Otherwise, you may risk your eyes getting irritated or having an infection.
Lash adhesives usually come in clear and dark variants. While both types of lash adhesives are equal in effectiveness, you should still consider the tone of your false eyelashes. You may want to go for clear adhesives if you are wearing light colored lashes such as the ones commonly worn for theme parties or performances on stage.
This clear lash adhesive is also more recommended for beginners since they are less obvious and less messy when applied. You can adjust them as necessary. When they dry, they dry clear. You can also easily peel them off without a fuss. Imagine using a dark lash adhesive and making a mistake. You will end up looking like a raccoon or panda with dark circles around your eyes caused by the dark color of the lash adhesive. Now, this does not look very appealing.
You should only use dark lash adhesives if you are skilled enough to use them. Surely, you do not want any dark glue to be seen at the base of your eyelashes. After all, you want your beautiful eyelashes to be the center of attention, not the glue that they are clinging to. Having unwanted glue marks can also be a huge turn off.
Anyway, dark lash adhesives are great if you want to achieve a sultry look without exerting too much effort. They can make your eyes have that smoky effect since they are dark in color and they dry black. It would be just like wearing eyeliner or mascara.
If you do wear some eyeliner or mascara, your dark lash adhesives will amplify the effect and make you look more glamorous. The glue will intensify and darken your lash line, giving more depth to the eyeliner and making your eyes look brighter. The sleek and shiny finish also adds spark to your eyes.
Basically, all you need are your false eyelashes and your lash adhesives or glue. However, you may also want to use a pair of tweezers so that you can apply the lashes more gently and more easily. You may also need a pair of scissors in case the eyelashes are too long for you. You may have to trim them so that they can fit your eyes perfectly.
Now that everything is ready, it is time to apply the eyelashes. You can either use your hand or tweezers to carefully take the lashes out of their container. See to it that you do this carefully so as not to damage or tear them. Keep in mind that these eyelashes are lightly glued onto their container to maintain their form and figure. So, you have to handle them with care.
Once they are out of their container, you have to size them up by holding them against your eyes. Check out if their length is just right. Sometimes, falsies are too long. So, you may have to trim them down using your scissors. When trimming down these lashes, make sure that you start at the outer edges. If their length is alright, you may proceed to wear them.
While these eyelashes are already curved and shaped to match the eyes, you may still want to wrap them around your finger so that they can get curvier. Hold this for about fifteen seconds or until they look ready.
Then, you should get your lash adhesives or glue and apply some of it onto your false eyelashes. See to it that you do not make it too thick. You should only apply a thin coating in order to avoid clumps when the glue dries up. You should also be very careful when applying glue onto the falsies. Do your best to not apply any glue on the hair itself.
If you have a shaky hand and it is quite impossible to apply the lash adhesives without getting any of it onto the lashes, you should apply a small amount of the glue on the back of your hand instead. Then, you should drag the falsies gently through the lash glue. If you have a tiny brush, you may also use that to apply the glue. Simply dip it into the lash glue and brush it on the strip of the falsies.
When you have successfully applied the glue on the lashes, you should hold them up for about thirty seconds up to a minute. You should refrain from holding them up for too long as this puts them at risk of drying up quickly.
You should only hold them up to allow the adhesive substance to set into the lashes. Your goal here is to let the lashes and the glue get tacky so that they can be easily applied onto your lash line. In addition, you should hold the falsies in a U shape to keep their form. You can tell that they are ready to wear when the lash glue slightly changes in color.
When this happens, you should get your tweezers to pick up the false eyelashes and apply them onto your lash line. If you do not feel comfortable using tweezers, you can simply use your fingers. Using your fingers is actually more advisable if you have shaky hands. This helps you prevent accidentally poking your eye with the tweezers.
You have to position the eyelashes around the middle part of your natural eyelashes. This way, they can have a good balance. See to it that you bring them as close to your lash line as possible. You have to glue them onto your lash line and not on your eyelashes.
When you have found the right position and balance, you should press down your falsies into place. See to it that you successfully glue them onto your lash line. More often than not, it is the end part of the eyelashes that pulls away or loses grip first. So, make sure that you give extra attention to them. You may have to re-apply the lash adhesive on these parts to ensure that they stay in place.
If you are using dark lash adhesives, you may just wear the falsies on their own. However, if you are using clear lash adhesives and you want your eyes to pop, you can wear eyeliner and mascara. Just make sure that you wait for the falsies to sit before you apply these makeup products.
You should also check out the base of your lash line where your real eyelashes are attached. See to it that your falsies are glued onto it.Then, you can apply some eyeliner on this area. Doing this hides the lash glue as well as the unevenness of your falsies.
In order for your false eyelashes to set with your natural ones without looking fake, you should curl them using an eyelash curler. When you do, your natural eyelashes will blend nicely with your falsies. This would create an au natural effect. To make your look even nicer, you should apply one or two coats of mascara. The mascara does not only accentuate your eyelashes, but it also helps keep your falsies and natural eyelashes together. When you are satisfied with your appearance, you can now go outside and let other people admire your beautiful eyes.
