Glamour Lashes: How to

GLAMOUR LASHES:


Lashes sometimes can be the icing on the cake for most make up looks, but they can be difficult and very frustrating to apply.
Here are 10 easy steps to achieve the perfect glamour lashes:

What you will need:
  • Duo Glue (black or clear) I prefer clear: you can find this at MAC, CVS, ULTA or Sephora
  • scissors
  • tweezers
  • eye lash curler (opt)
  • quality false lashes- Ardell are great & inexpensive from CVS, but my favorite are the #7's by MAC
  • liquid or gel liner with liner brush

1. Always apply face makeup first! Lashes will be last.

2. Apply eye shadow next and a thin line of liner across the top lashes ( this way when you apply the lash strip there will be no gaps.)

3. Take 1 lash strip and measure it to your lash line. If you need to cut them to make the strip shorter, cut the side that will sit on the outside of your eye, closest to your temple) repeat for the other eye.

4. Next, dab some glue on the corner of the eyelash case, or I like to use the back of my hand.

5. Now take the back of your liner brush (or you can use a bobby pin) and dip the end in the glue.

6. Pick up the one lash strip and glide the glue over the strip from one end to the other. Let sit for about 20 seconds or until tacky.

7. Using one hand and the tweezers, pick up the lash strip, holding  the longest lash side between your index finger and thumb & the inner eye side with the tweezers, carefully place the lash strip along your eyelash line, closest to your lashes as possible so there are no gaps.

8. Now, use the tweezers to pull the lash strip into place if needed.

9. Wait until the glue dries clear (about 1 minute) and draw a line of the gel liner or liquid liner across the lash line helping to blend the lash strip with your lash line. This is when you could create a cat eye.

10. Last but not least, apply mascara. this will help your real lashes to mesh with the fake creating the dramatic bold eyelash look!!

& WAAAaalaaaaaaaaa!!! beautiful lashes :)
