How to apply False Lashes

How to Apply False Lashes video

Hey Guys and Dolls! I’ve been meaning to do a “False Lashes” tutorial for a long time now! I know there are a lot of other videos out there that show how to apply false lashes, but I do think the method I use is quite a bit different, and pretty much fool proof. How to Apply False Lashes video2I was browsing different makeup sites, when I found this GEM of a site, that lists color combinations for MAC eyeshadows! While that alone is really cool, I also noticed they had some random tips and this was one of them:

From
MACmakeup.net’s front page:
MISCELLANEOUS TIPS!!!

  • Billy B’s method of applying false eyelashes: Trace upper lash line w/ adhesive, using a pointed lining brush. Let it get ‘tacky’ for a minute. Press the strip into the glue, using the back end of the brush. Courtesy if “EnjoyTheSilence”.
  • SO. needless to say I had to try it out immediately. And you know what? It worked GREAT! Just try to use an old eyeliner brush, or go get a cheapie one you don’t care about (and don’t forget to remove the glue (oil based removers work best, but I really like Neutrogena Oil-fre eye makeup remover. I also use tweezers to place the lashes, rather than the back of a brush.

    I was a little worried that I would get glue in my eye, or that it would be hard to remove, but not at all! In fact, I’ve had less glue flubs, my lashes are easier to take off, and my lashes go on straight and SUPER close to my natural lase line EVERY TIME! If You’re a beginner, and You just can’t get the hang of False Lashes, try this! If you’re an ol’ Pro, still try this, and see if this doesn’t make your life easier!

    3. Okay so i was just watching both of your tutorials on how to apply fake eyelashes and how to remove them. Where can i buy the eye lashes that you had in the videos? and where can i buy the eye lash glue?

      • The LAshes I used are from Ardell (this was a year ago so I don’t remember the Number) but my fave brand of lashes are Red Cherry. You can get Red Cherry lashes though several places, but I usually get mine though mscuppycakes or beauty from the earth. As for glue, the best glue I’ve found was Duo, and you can get that at any drugstore :)

    4. hi,

      my colleague was telling me that you have to clean the eyelids before you apply the eyelashes but all the tutorials i watched, and i liked yours the best, applied it on makeup covered eyes. either eyeliner or eyeshadow! so now i am a little confused because she also mentioned a saline solution to clean the eyelid with to make it stick better! and what is your profession now, are you a makeup artist because you said former optician! Thank you angi

    5. wow! ok, im an upcoming MUA and my client texted me in the morning that she wanted false lashes. i thought to myself oh-oh. in the past i struggled with lashes on clients. decided to youtube a video – maybe i was doing something wrong to cause me to be struggling so much. tried it and BHAM! I applied the lashes perfectly. never in my life – not even on myself has it been so easy, so QUICK and so close to the lash line. im in awe – billy b is amazing and thank you for posting the video. this was in genious! :D
