Flutter Fabulous Eyelashes
Superdrug gives their top tips for applying false lashes, we think this video is fantastic it looks so easy!!
This summer Superdrug launches its very own range of false eyelashes. The range comprises eight different handmade lashes that allow customers to go for the natural look or to add volume to their own lashes. Customers looking for something more eye-catching can choose the intense volume or double lash for the party season.
Always apply your make-up before applying the lashes. Using a little mascara first can also help blend your natural lashes with the false ones.
Before applying lashes always check the length of them against your own eye, you may need to trim them slightly to get the perfect look.
When you're ready to apply the lashes put some of the lash glue on to the back of your hand and dip the lash strip into the glue which is much less fiddly than applying the glue directly to the lash.
Superdrug flat headed tweezers (£1.79) will help you apply the lashes and ensure they stick to the base of your lash line. These are always better to use than your fingers, especially for adjusting. Alternatively try Superdrug's LASH applicator (£2.49) to make things even easier.
Apply the lash to the centre of the eye line first, this will prevent that baggy look in the middle, the rest should then fit along the lash line really easily. The lashes shouldn't feel uncomfortable on your eye, if they do, re-apply them. They are very light and after 5 minutes you'll probably forget you're even wearing them.
Use a line of eyeliner to blend in the lash line. When you're using the natural range you don't need too much, but if you're using the intense volume edition or the double lash you can go all out on the eyeliner for a really dramatic look. Ultimately it depends on the look you're trying to achieve.
To achieve a really dramatic you can always apply mascara on the false lash and natural lashes together. This will help blend the two and look more natural.
The best bit is the lashes come in eight different styles for you to choose the best look from natural to intense volume or the double lash look.
