False eyelashes have come to stay in the beauty industry and
many beauticians have come to embrace them and rely on their ‘lash boosting’
power for a more beautiful and defined eyes. While mascara still remain
effective in adding volume to the lashes, the beautiful effect false lashes
give the eyes cannot be over emphasized.
False eyelashes come in various types:
Strip false eyelashes:
these are lashes clustered either half-way or in full on a strip that fits the
eye lids from the inner to the out corner of the eyes. They are available in
natural and synthetic, they can also be full or scanty depending on what you
want. Strip false lashes fit properly and look more natural because the lashes
have been well arranged on a strip. They are also very easy to apply and can be
taken out almost immediately with a makeup remover.

Flare false eyelashes:
these are lashes (between 3 -5 single lashes) clustered in one knot and
they could be of different lengths. They are applied in steps and successions
to achieve desired volume.
Single false
eyelashes: these are individual single strand lashes. They are like the
natural human lashes and they mostly come in natural types, not synthetic
Many people have classified the flare false lashes and
single individual lashes as ‘single false lashes’. Either way the three types
of lashes all look differently and their application is also different.
How to apply False
Strip Lashes
The things you need: a pair of false strip lashes, a pair of
tweezers and a pair of scissors, an adhesive for strip false lashes, mascara
and liquid eyeliner
Step 1: measure up the false lashes against your eyelid
and cut out any excesses with your pair of scissors, so that it’s not sticking
out-side your lashes (it’s advisable to cut from the outer corner of the
lashes.)
Step 2: brush
your natural lashes through with mascara (it could be a clear mascara) and
apply black liquid eyeliner as close to the lash line as possible and allow it
dry out.
Step 3: apply a
portion of the adhesive at the back of your hand and run the inside of the false
lashes through the adhesive to pick it up then allow it get a bit tacky, then with
your pair of tweezers, place on the upper lashes as close to the lash base as
possible, hold still till it’s dry. The shorter part of the lashes should be
placed in the inside corner of the lashes, while the longer part should be
outside the corner of the eyes.
Step 4: you
should apply mascara again to blend it the false lashes with your natural
lashes and apply liquid eyeliner again if needed.
How to apply False
Flare Lashes
Things you’d need: a tray of false flare lashes, a pair of
tweezers, and an adhesive for flare false lashes, mascara and liquid eyeliner.

flare lash adhesive, but a little at a time on the back of your hand
Step 3: pick up the lashes from the tray using the
pair of tweezers, then dip the knotted spot of the lashes in the adhesive, let
