Eyelashes. Everyone wants them, but very few people get the triple threat of length, volume and curl. While mascara is an ideal everyday option for giving your lashes a much-needed boost, sometimes a girl needs to bring in the big guns. Enter faux lashes. These artificial add-ons are not always the easiest to apply. So what's a girl to do? Check out my pro tips on wearing false eyelashes that anyone can pull off:


1. Go Natural

First thing's first. While it's fun to create dramatic makeup looks, when shopping for false eyelashes you want to make sure you choose ones that appear more natural, versus lashes that are over the top. The ideal ones to purchase are those that are more wispy, with natural spacing in between each eyelash. Try NYX Cosmetics Fabulous Lashes in Breeze.

A great tip for applying lashes that stay all day is to get the lash glue on the entire part of the strip before applying. Start out first by taking each strip out of the box and placing it on your eye where you think it will look best. Always remember that the shorter lashes go toward the inner eye, and longer lashes should go toward the outer eye. This will help you if you get confused on where to apply the lash strip. If necessary, trim the strip so that it fits your eye shape perfectly. Apply a light coat of mascara to your natural eyelashes, then take a bobby pin and put some lash glue on it (preferably one that dries black). Use the end of the pin to apply glue to the base strip of the lash. This will spread glue evenly without making a mess. Apply the strip to your lash line so that it fuses with your natural lashes.

Once the lashes have dried, go ahead and apply another coat of mascara to the false eyelashes. This will give them a little more definition and help them blend in with your natural lashes. Don't go overboard with the mascara, as you want to avoid clumping.
