Last time it was all about having your eyebrows on fleek. This time we are talking about applying false lashes like a pro with the help of the good folks over at Tweezerman. Now you won’t have any excuse for having crazy-looking lashes. Why? This is because these Tweezerman guys happen to be the region’s favorite beauty tool experts. Their tips should be engraved on stone (not literally).

The Tweezerman award-winning beauty tool brand has always been a leader when it comes to giving lessons on applying false lashes. The kind experts over there have decided to share with us tips on applying false lashes just like celebrity makeup artists do.

Applying False Lashes the Tweezerman Way

Step 1

Gently curl your lashes using the Tweezerman Classic Eyelash Curler. Line up lashes and cut the width if the strip is too long for your eye. It is rare to find full strips that need trimming. But if they do, trim from the outer corner of the fake strip before applying false lashes.

Step 2

Add a dime size amount of eyelash glue to an artist palette or the back of your hand. Dip the end of a thin eyeshadow brush into the glue and use it to apply a fine line onto the full lash strip. Let them become tacky (vs wet) for 10-20 seconds. Or, if applying clusters, grab a cluster at a time from the package and dip into the glue. Give it a few seconds to become tacky before applying false lashes to your eye. With clusters, you can apply right across or in certain parts of your lashes for thickening or dramatic effect.

Step 3

Looking down into a lighted magnifying mirror (Tweezerman has these), apply by centering lashes using Tweezerman slant tweezers. This will help placement and gently push in place with the blunt end of the tweezers. Looking down (vs straight) into a mirror stops you from blinking as well as helps to place lashes at your lash line (now I know). Placement is important as you don’t want to see a seam of skin in between your lashes and your falsies.

Step 4

After the glue dries, curl with a heated lash wand, if needed. This blends lashes together. The metal crimp-type curlers will bend the lashes and not very well; while the heated wand is subtle.

Step 5

Always add mascara to blend the appearance of the falsies with your own lashes.

And there you have it, kids, that’s how applying false eyelashes is done. No more excuses!
