How to Apply False Eyelashes Like a Pro: Step-by-Step Guide

Applying false eyelashes takes time, patience, and practice—that's why many rely on professionals. With these tried-and-true tips from years of makeup expertise, you can achieve flawless results at home.

Step-by-Step Instructions

False eyelashes deliver a dramatic, sophisticated look. Apply them individually, as half-strips, or full strips. Glue comes in white, clear, or black; black blends seamlessly into the lash line for a natural finish.

1. Grab a false eyelash with tweezers, starting with the smallest.
2. Dip the base in glue and let it get tacky for a few seconds.
3. Start at the outer corner of the eye.
4. Close your eye to continue application.
5. Work toward the center, layering five to ten lashes (or curve the strip or half-strip).
6. Hold each lash with your fingers until the glue dries.
7. Once set, apply mascara to blend.
8. Admire your doe-eyed glamour!
