Think fake eyelashes is only for the pros? False! With these easy-to-follow steps anyone can apply fake eyelashes, and keep in mind that practice makes perfect:
- Chose something flexible at a medium length.
- For beginners I’d recommend an overlapping fan pattern for the lashes.
- Make sure the eye makeup is completed with liner prior to lash application.
- Paint the band of the lashes black before applying to the eyes.
- Use Duo Adhesive to apply the lashes and use a thin amount, which should be about the same thickness as dental floss.
- Allow the adhesive approximately 12 seconds to become tacky before applying.
- Tilt your head back and keep your eyes open looking into a free standing mirror when applying lashes.
- Start in the outer corner and slowly pat the lashes down moving inwards.

The first time I tried this after your workshop, it took me two hours to apply lashes. The second time, I made sure I had a bigger mirror with better lighting. Thanks to you, I’ve discovered the glamorous joy of wearing fake eyelashes. As an added bonus, they don’t create dark circles under my eyes after a long night out dancing! Oh, and thank you for suggesting Duo or I would never have tried.
