Eyelash Guidelines

Eyelashes are one of those things that really makes a difference. We've used very big ones here as it makes it easier for you to see what we are doing. We stock more subtle versions that look more natural but really do add a special edge to any look. Firstly you need to start with clean dry skin, if you are applying a base make its best to leave a gap of clean skin. You can apply eyeliner first (but not where you want to stick the lashes).

1 Take the eyelashes out of the packet and gently flex them a few times, this makes them a little softer and easier to work with. Offer them up to your eye to see if they need trimming. When measuring take the measurement from where your natural lashes start, note that they do not grow from the tear duct, if you attach lashes there you will make your eyes water! If the lashes are too wide for your eye trim off the bit that is not required from the outside edge.

2 Open the tube of glue, put a spot of it on the back of your hand. Holding your lashes in the hand with the glue on it use the head end of a pin, or a cocktail stick to pick some glue up and run a tiny bit around the band of the lashes. Never apply glue directly to the eye, and never attempt to add glue to stuck on lashes with any sharp object. Give the glue a few moments to go tacky (dont worry about the colour of the glue it will dry clear). NEVER use anything other than eyelash adhesive to attach lashes.

3 Stick the lashes in position by lowering them gently onto your own lashes and then push them onto the skin near the base of your lashes, very gently dab them into place. You can either shut one eye, rest your elbow on the dressing table to steady it and then lower them into place or a great tip is to put a hand mirror in your lap and look down into the mirror.

4 Finished All you need to do is touch up your foundation, and you can flutter all night!

5 Removal Hold down the skin next to the eye and with the other hand hold the lash, gently pull the lash away, remember you should have used a very small amount of glue so there should be very little to remove. Use any eye make up remover to clean away any traces of glue. Put the lashes back in the box carefully and they can be used again and again.
