False eyelashes for hot girls

You have probably seen the models or actress or the divas on the Oscars night. Their eyes sometimes are so expressive and their eyelashes seem so thick and large. And you just fell in love with their eyes. If you are a woman you wondered if you had been blessed with those eyelashes you would be a movie star and if you were a man you fantasized about looking deep into her eyes and falling in love with her. Here is the secret - those eyelashes are false and any woman can have them without spending a great deal of money. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan literally wear fake lashes every single day when they are in public.

How to put false eyelashes?

Selecting the eye lashes: The best collection of eyelashes as you might have guessed is online. And believe it or not, but Amazon.com that you might know for its extensive collection of books, also happens to have the largest collection of false eyelashes. Other websites that carry a huge choice are Prescriptives, Mavala Double Lash, Esolica, and Sephora. You can Photo of a blonde showing off her false eyelashes makeupalso purchase them in local beauty stores but the choice is limited. A smaller selection is available in discount stores such as Walmart and Target.

There are a few types of eyelashes:

Hair type: Artificial or natural. The synthetic ones are fine if it only for cosmetic purposes.

Full lashes and individual lashes: The full lashes are the ones your grandma used to use. They are easier to use and convenient, but they may not give you a natural look. The individual artificial lashes are more natural looking. They are used in the exterior corner of the eye and help to create more expressive and sexy eyes.

Color: If you want a natural look, try to use a color similar to your eyelashes with mascara. For dark-skin women, brown and black are the most appropriate. If you want a special look there are many options for eye-lashes.

How to apply them?

What will you need: Eye lashes, glue, tweezers and a toothpick

Generally speaking each package of artificial lashes has its own instructions. Below you will find general instructions and a few makeup artist tips.

Review the length of the lashes, put them close to your natural eyelashes and determine what length is better, and then trim them with scissors.

Clean your face and eyes. Apply your foundation and concealer. Try not to apply any grease on the eyelashes line, because the grease will make it more difficult for the glue to work.

You need to be in front of a mirror, preferably a magnifier mirror. Make sure you have everything you may need handy.

Apply the glue in the places where you want to put the lashes. Use only a little bit; if you need more, you can always put more. If you put too much glue, this maybe visible. Follow the glue instructions; some glues require you to wait a few seconds. Try not to apply the glue directly over your own eyelashes because you may damage them. And of course, be careful not to put glue in your eyes.

Apply the artificial eyelashes directly over your own eyelashes. You may push with the tweezer or the toothpick. Be careful not to pinch your eyes.

If you are using individual eyelashes in the corner of your eye follow the same instruction only in this area.

Apply your eye makeup as usual. Most people do not apply mascara over the artificial eyelashes, but if you wish you may do it.

Makeup artist tips

If you use eyeliner on the eyelid, apply it before you put on the eyelashes, directly on your eyelash line.

If you curve you eyelashes, do it before applying the artificial eyelashes; it is easier that way. If your natural eyelashes are not dark, you may apply mascara before the artificial eyelashes in a color that matches the artificial eyelashes’ color.

Taking them off

If you use waterproof glue, use a special remover for this type of glue. Otherwise, you may use warm water and your regular eye make up remover.

Be careful when you pull the artificial eyelashes off so you do not pull your natural eyelashes too. You may use the tweezers to take them off.

Once you have taken them off, follow the package instructions to store them.

Do not ever sleep with artificial eyelashes because you may damage your eyes or cause infection.

To perfectly apply the artificial eyelashes takes experience and patience. Do not expect perfection the first time. Now you know how the celebrities get those gorgeous lashes and now you can have them too.
