Shop 1 Of 1How to Apply False Lashes as a Beginner
- Measure the lash first. Hold it against your eye before glue.
- Trim from the outer edge. Never cut from the inner corner.
- Apply a thin layer of glue. Too much glue can make placement messy.
- Wait 30–45 seconds. The glue should become tacky.
- Place the centre first. Then secure the inner and outer corners.
- Store after use. Put lashes back in the tray to help keep their shape.
