False eyelashes are a simple way to emphasize eye makeup, but many women hesitate to apply them on their own. How to put on false eyelashes? How to take them off? Are they safe and are the glue not allergenic? You will find the answers to these questions in our article!

Artificial eyelashescan be added in a beauty salon, but the procedure is quite expensive and time-consuming, and also requires regular repetition. A simpler solution for women who dream of a "curtain" in front of their eyes is the independent application of the eyelash belt. The main difference between professional and home eyelash extensions is that the beautician sticks to each natural eyelash at least one artificial eyelash, while we can place a strip with a whole set of artificial hairs just above the upper eyelash line.

Are false eyelashes safe?

People with sensitive eyes and prone to allergies should be careful, because both the glue and the eyelashes themselves can cause allergies. In addition, if the lashes are weak and prone to falling out, sticking even the lightest artificial lashes will put additional strain on them and, as a result, may result in the loss of more hairs.

How to put on false eyelashes?

  1. Before applying false eyelashes, darken the line just above the upper eyelid with black or brown eyeliner.
  2. Natural eyelashes should be carefully mascaraed, but make sure that they are not stuck together and not clumped. A good solution is to apply henna a day or two in advance, to do without painting when you put on false eyelashes.
  3. False eyelashes should be taken out of the box very carefully so as not to pull the hair out. Instead of using your fingers, you can do it with tweezers by grabbing one corner of the strap.
  4. Remember that the eyelashes do not fit your eyes perfectly, so before sticking, you should "try on" whether the length of the strip is appropriate and whether the eyelashes themselves do not need to be shortened. They should be trimmed from the outside, i.e. the side where the strip extends beyond the line of the eye. The eyelashes should start approx. 1-2 mm before the iris edge on the inside and end not perfectly in the outer corner, but slightly in front of it (approx. 1-2 mm). This way we will avoid discomfort when blinking.
  5. After adjusting the length of the eyelashes, apply a little glue to the strip, and then wait about 30-50 seconds until it dries a bit.
  6. False eyelashes should be attached as close to natural lines as possible and pressed lightly.
  7. I can compensate for unevenness and gaps with black eyeliner.

How to remove false eyelashes?

The glue used to stick false eyelashes should become slightly rubbery and elastic, thanks to which it easily detaches from the skin. Use your fingernail or tweezers to pry the outer edge of the strip on which the eyelashes are attached and gently tear it towards the inside of the eye. The remains of the glue can be easily removed with a cosmetic milk, two-phase lotion or olive oil. However, remember not to rub the remaining glue. A cotton swab soaked in an appropriate substance should be placed on the eyelid and pressed lightly until the glue dissolves. If we have used too much glue and the eyelashes do not want to peel off, it is worth applying a little petroleum jelly. Under no circumstances should they be pulled by force, because we can also pull out our own lashes.

Clumps of false eyelashes

If you want a more natural effect, it is worth using a slightly more demanding, but equally effective method of sticking artificial tufts on the lash line, grabbing them with tweezers and dipping the tip in the glue, and then place between your natural eyelashes.

Are false eyelashes reusable?

Absolutely! All you need to do is gently remove any glue residue after removing them. They have a rubbery form, so it will be most convenient to tear them off with tweezers. It is important to remember to keep the original box - it is the only place to store the eyelashes so that they do not lose their shape.
