Here's How:

When it comes to false lashes you have a couple options: A full set of false #lashes or small clusters of individual lashes. If you buy a full set you can cut them into smaller strips or apply whole. A full set will create lush, thick lashes, whereas individual lashes fill out your own sparse ones. Cost of lashes are all over the board from about 4.00 at chain drugstores like Walgreen's or CVS in the beauty aisle or department store Brands like MAC are about 16.00. handle them carefully and you can use them a couple times before throwing away..

Usually the lashes are longer at the base then the length of your eye. No problem, just trim them on either side to match the length of your eye.  I usually trim mine on the outer (longer) edge of the eyelash so I’m left with the shorter more natural hairs to apply to my eyelid or you can add small pieces of the strip to just the outer corners.

Make sure your eyelid and lashes are clean of any makeup. Curl your real lashes with an eyelash curler. You can warm a metal lash curler or the edge of a metal spoon under a blow dryer for about 3 seconds. Just make sure the metal isn't too hot for your eye.

Apply a liquid or pencil eyeliner in a thin line to eyes to conceal the lash roots.

When you are using a full set, apply a thin strip of glue along the base of the lashes using a toothpick or a super fine makeup brush. Avoid applying the glue with your fingers because it can get messy. Wait a few seconds for the glue to dry a bit.

Apply the strip, use your fingers to hold the lashes and apply on the lid as close to the roots as possible from the outer corner of the eye in. Use the clean end of an eyebrow or makeup brushes rounded tip to press lashes into place.  Adding mascara is optional. Your lashes will last longer without mascara and easier to take off at night, but will make lashes look thicker and blend better with your own. Try it both ways and decide which you like.

If you are applying individual lashes, put a few drops of lash glue on a hard surface. Let it dry for a minute until it becomes tacky. Use a set of tweezers to pick up eyelashes and dip the root in the adhesive.

If applying individual lashes, start at the outer corner of the eyes. Take the tweezers and wedge the glued lash into your natural lashes. Hold it in place for a few seconds so it dries in place. Stay as close to the root of your real lashes as possible. You'll want a couple clusters at the outer corner of the eye and one in the center of the eye or wherever your real lashes are sparse. Make sure to leave a natural space between lashes. The secret is to keep the clusters to 3-5 or fewer in an area and stay away from the inside of the eye. Trim them if needed to create natural angle.

Once the false eyelashes are applied, let them dry for a couple minutes before doing your eye makeup.
