Doe Eyed

There is something so ethereal about long and thick eyelashes that they can instantly transform a regular jean and tee look to something dramatic and fabulous. Mascara can open up your eyes but faux lashes can truly make your eyes pop.There’s a reason that exaggerated eyelashes are the beauty signature of icons like Twiggy and Diana Ross and modern girls like Cara Delevingne and Lindsey Wixson. Wear them with fresh skin and a smudge of eyeliner through this holiday season.

HOW TO APPLY: Preparation before putting them on (optional): If you would like your faux lashes to look more natural, curl your natural eyelashes with an eyelash curler before applying them on. After the lashes are on, you can apply mascara to both your real and falsies to blend the two of them in together. 1. Gently peel the falsies off the package from outer lashes to inner lashes. 2. Cut the lash band to make it shorter if needed. (Just in case it is too long for your eye shape.) 3. If you’re using brush on glue, twist off the cap and run a thin line through the lash band with the brush. If you’re using a tube with glue, squeeze a small amount onto your finger, then run the lash band through the drop of glue on your finger. You want the line to be thin and not get messy and EVERYWHERE. That is a pain. This is why I recommend a brush on glue. Perfect for beginners. 4. Once you have your line of glue on the lashes, wait 10-15 seconds for the glue to become “tacky”, then place them on top of your real lashes as closely to them as possible. What I do is gently place them on top of my natural lash line (no pressure or anything). Once they’re on top of my lashes, I slowly secure parts of the lash band onto my lid with my fingers. Some people use tweezers. Either works.
