Measure false eyelashes. Before applying false eyelashes, you will need to make sure the false eyelashes are not longer than your eyes. Apply false lashes over eyelids and trim the ends if necessary.

If false eyelashes are too long for you, try cutting them shorter for a natural look. However, lashes need to be longer towards the outer corner of the eye

Apply eyelash glue to the outer edge of the false lashes with a glue stick or small brush. Wait for the glue to dry before applying false eyelashes to your eyes.

Or, you can squeeze a thin line of eyelash glue onto the back of your non-dominant hand. Then, gently glide the outer contour of the false lashes along the glue line.

Place false eyelashes on eyelids, try to put them as close to the real eyelids as possible. Place false lashes from the top, not from the front. This way, make sure you can attach the false lashes to the real ones. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Let the glue dry naturally. When you put the false lashes in place, you don’t need to press or hold on to them. ^{[2] X Research Source}

Apply mascara to your lashes. Thus, false eyelashes and real eyelashes will become harmonious, making the eyes look natural. You can use black, brown or dark gray mascara.

Apply eyeliner along the upper eyelid. You need to pay attention to fill in the space between false eyelashes and real eyelashes to make the eyes look more natural. Use black, brown, or dark gray eyeliner.

Use makeup remover to remove false eyelashes. Dip cotton swab in eye makeup remover and gently apply along false lashes. Leave the makeup remover on for a minute and gently remove the false lashes.

Apply some mascara after the glue has dried.
You should make up your eyes before applying false eyelashes. Depending on the thickness and length of the false eyelashes, applying eyeshadow can be difficult.
It will work when you leave the glue on the false eyelashes for at least 15 seconds and blow before applying on the eyes.
If you don’t want to apply false eyelashes, you can curl them. This will make the eyes look like they have been fitted with false eyelashes. To curl your lashes, you will use a mascara brush. Carefully move the brush along the lash line in a zig-zag path. Then curl the tip and hold the brush while counting to 10. When you remove the brush, you will have voluminous lashes.

If you can’t curl your lashes using a mascara brush, you can still make your eyes look like they’ve been fitted with false lashes. This can be done using mascara and an eyelash brush. Insert the lash brush into the base of your lashes before applying mascara. This way, the mascara won’t clumpy and makes the lashes look fuller. Then, carefully brush 3 coats of mascara from root to tip to finish. This will make you look like you are wearing false eyelashes.
Do the application of false eyelashes in a well-lit place.
Hands should be steady when applying eyeliner. Irregular eyeliner will make you look unprofessional and unattractive.
