False eyelashes, or extensions, have become common. We love to wear them even though applying them can be another story altogether. The glueing, the drying, the eyeliner...! Sounds like a whole day's job.
The truth is that applying false lashes incorrectly can make a fool of you. Once the process backfires, it can also cause embarrassment if not discomfort. Here is how to make this process seem effortless and cool.
How To:
Step 1
Do your eye makeup to get that out of the way first. Apply your eyeshadow and eyeliner.
Step 2
Go in with a lash curler and apply mascara.

Ensure the eyelashes fit your eyes perfectly by trimming, if need be, then apply glue to the eyelash strip.
Step 4
Give it around 30 seconds for the glue to dry then position the strip where you want to place it in your eye.
Step 5
Using a pair of tweezers place the eyelashes right where your eyeliner is and press gently.
Step 6
Look down and use a mirror to be sure it is perfectly placed but don't close your eyes as that changes your eye shape.
Step 7
To camouflage the 'falsies', go in with your trusted liquid or gel eyeliner and draw a line extending the band from where it begins to the outer corner of your eye. Finish off with a coat of mascara.
Step 8
Relish the results and tap yourself on the back for acing it.
