FIRST

“Do your eye make-up, including

curling lashes and mascara, before

applying false lashes,” says Manicare

adviser Liz Kelsh.

THE BASICS

1. For individual lashes, place a
   dot of lash glue on the back of
   your hand and wait approximately
   30 seconds for it to go tacky.


2. Using tweezers, pick up a lash and
   gently dip the pointy tip in the glue.
   “Starting at the outer corner of the
   eye, place the lash at the base of your
   natural lashes and use the tweezers
   to tap the lash into place,” says Kelsh.


3. Repeat the process until you get
   to roughly the centre of the eye, then
   switch to shorter lashes, continuing
   along to fill in the lash line.


4. For strip lashes, “measure the
   lash up to your eye and trim
   accordingly”, explains Kelsh.


5. Next, dot the glue along the strip
   lash, wait for it to go tacky, then
   apply and tap in place using tweezers.
