I've always loved lashes, but always struggled with putting them on. In the past, I have tried eyelash extensions and have found that they are not only costly, but very high maintenance. On my search to find the perfect lash I ran across a few great options that I thought I would share. Here are some tips and tricks of the trade.
Cluster Lashes
The
Kiss Ever Ez Lashes is great and the easiest style to use for a beginner wanting to apply lashes. The lash lengths come in short, medium and long (maybe extra long too). The shortened strips and various lash lengths allows for easy application and a customizable look. I usually only use about three to four clusters per eye (Note: my eyes are small). I want my eyes to seem larger so I focus on the outer parts of my eye, but you can apply them across the entire eye or layer them for a more dramatic look.
After applying my eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara, I put a small amount of lash glue in the glue pocket. I then pick up one of the long length clusters with my tweezers and put a small amount of lash glue on it. I wait about 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky and then place it on the outside of my eyelid. I repeat the same process moving towards the middle of the eye however, this time I use two medium lengths and place them right next to each other. Lastly I place the short cluster next to the medium, this is usually about the middle of the eyelid. To adjust each cluster gently use your finger or tweezers to position it correctly, making sure to put each one on the the lash line and not the skin.
Accent Lashes
The
Ardell Accents Lashes are fairly easy to use as well. The shortened strip allows for more control compared to the full strip lashes. This type of lash is just placed on the outside corner of your eye with your tweezers and then you can repositioned them gently with your fingers.
Full Strip
Another option is to take your favorite full strip eyelashes and cut each strip into three or four sections. These shown above are the
Ardell Wispies. By cutting the strips into clusters you can then apply just like the Kiss Ever Ez Lash. When cutting them try to make sure each cluster is the same size.
So there you have it! A few methods that I've picked up along the way in finding the best lash brands with the easiest application.
Happy Lashing :)
