Better Homes and Garden December 2013




Putting on Falsies
1. Customize - using tweezers, hold the strip where your own lashes start at the inner corner of your eyes. If there’s any excess at the outer corner, trim.
2. Add glue - holding the strip with your tweezer, apply a very thin as in nearly nonexistent coat of glue straight from the tube. Swipe your finger over the strip to smooth and remove any excess -  globs of glue are a dead giveaway that you’re wearing fakes.
3. Place - wait 10 seconds, then place the strip at the roots of your own lashes with the tweezers. Don’t stress stress if you make a mistake. Simply use your fingers to remove any glue and go back to step 2. Repeat 1 - 3 on your other eye.
4. Curl - after two minutes, clamp with an eyelash curler - it will help your natural lashes blend with the false ones. Seal with mascara.
Put on the falsie after finishing your shadow and liner. It’s tricky to get a smoky eye just right with extra lashes in the way. Before removing, wet a cotton swab with hot water and run along the lash band to soften the glue. You’ll save your natural lashes.
