Apply Faux Lashes Like a Pro

Applying fake eyelashes can be scary and even intimidating, but wearing fake eyelashes is the best option to take your makeup to the next level. With so many kinds of falsies it's fun to try all your options to see which you like best. Individual lashes, are applied one by one. Then, there are flare lashes that are applied piecemeal to fill out your existing lashes. The most popular and fastest to apply are lash strips which come together on one strand. Finally, there are eyelash extensions which need to be applied by a professional. See? Lots of options!

If you want to give falsies a try, application doesn't have to be scary. We love this little how-to video by PopSugar. It shows just how easy false lash application can be. With a little practice, you'll be applying yours like a pro! 

All About Lash Extentions

Lash extensions are quickly becoming a beauty staple when it comes to a night out on the town. Lash Extensions add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. Longer lashes will make your eyes more open and will give them an enlarged look. Often without the hassle of mascara! 

The strips of eyelashes you see in the make-up department at your local drug store don’t have a thing on professional lash extensions which are single lash extensions applied one by one to individual eyelashes. This process involves carefully separating the natural lashes with fine point tweezers to reveal one healthy eyelash. The lash extension is then dipped into a medical grade adhesive and attached to the natural eyelash. The process is repeated until all eyelashes are covered. Touch-ups are recommended every 2-4 weeks.

Here is a quick reference list on how to get the most out of your lash extensions. 

Lash Extensions DOs:

• Before you arrive make sure that your eyes are free of make up
• Before you arrive wash your eyelashes and remove any mascara or residual oils

• Keep your new eyelash extensions completely dry for 24 hours after application
• Follow individual instructions for proper home care given to you by the artist

Lash Extensions DONTs

We've offered up our top three tips for eye makeup! Start with nicely shaped brows, and a bit of primer on your eyelids so your makeup lasts longer.

EYE-MAKEUP TIP 1:  If you're focusing on your eyes, of course - you're going full-on with shadow, liner, mascara and more - downplay the lips a bit to draw more attention to your eyes. Choose a lighter lip shade, or even a neutral nude to really make your smoky eye stand out.

EYE-MAKEUP TIP 2:  Here's where you can get serious POP: choose a good eyeshadow color, that compliments your natural eye color.  And do to this effectively, you would use something on the other side of the color wheel (slightly 'complimentary colors') For example, blue eyes are complimented by pinks, and browns - while green eyes are complimented by purples and deep violets.  Play around with your shades until you get something that just glows.

EYE-MAKEUP TIP 3:  If you can, go to the salon and get some eyelash extensions. These look SO natural and last much longer. No time? Use some falsies for the night (eyelashes that is!) False eyelashes can really complete your look when done correctly. If done wrong, you will have hours of watery, irritated eyes and half-hanging fake-looking eyelashes.
