Lashes

Now this post is not for the females that know how to apply their own lashes. This is for the females that pay $25 and up to get their lashes done.

I am a big fan of lashes but I don't like to pay a lot of money to get them done. I have taken the time to learn how to apply my own strips.
I personally don't like individual lashes

To me they are harder to apply and take a lot longer. Plus they start to fall out one by one.

Go to your local beauty supply store and pick out a pair of lashes to your liking. Now, I have tried all different type of glue and as of right now my favorite is i.ENVY by Kiss in jet black. It is a 16 hour strip lash adhesive and it is water proof.
The most important thing to know about strip eyelash application is that you *ain’t* gonna get it right the first time.  If you keep practicing, not only will they go on quickly, they will stay on better.
  1. Apply a fairly heavy coat of eyeliner, make sure to get it right on the base of your lashes, and smudge it well. This will help cover the false eyelash line, and make it blend with your own.
  2. Put a drop of eyelash adhesive. Make sure you have adhesive on both ends of the lash strip. Let it set for a few seconds before applying.
  3. Starting at the outer corner of your eye, lay the strip as close as you can get to your natural lash line, being very careful not to get it tangled up in your natural lashes, and let it dry for a few minutes. You can press carefully on the ends of the strip (at the same time) to get better adhesion across the whole strip.
  4. Close your eye and gently push the lashes so that they are as in line with your natural lashes as possible.
Try it!
