With this retro wave, many trends are making a comeback, such as the use of false eyelashes, so common in the 70s, which is a great option for those who weren’t blessed with full eyelashes, which can make a big difference in a makeup look. Well, of course, they exist for all tastes and styles, in various sizes and shapes, which provide different levels of volume and elongation. However, those looking for a more glamorous and fashionable look should opt for fuller ones, while those looking for a more discreet, natural effect should prefer more spaced ones, with long, thin strands. But it doesn’t stop there… as there are already tufted versions, those that, glued one by one, allow you to create the effect you want, great for those who want, for example, just to highlight the outer corner of the eyes. However…be very calm at this time, you need to have common sense, the tip is to invest in models that respect the natural shape of the eyelashes, that is, with shorter hairs in the inner corner and longer hairs in the outer corner.
False eyelashes according to the shape of your eyes
Another tip that may seem like a small thing but makes all the difference is to choose eyelashes that are the exact width of your eyes, as if they are smaller or larger, they will look too artificial. So, if you don’t feel confident applying the entire lashes, cut them in half and attach only the longest half to the outer corner. Know that the way they are fixed can also make all the difference, they must be very close to the roots of the natural hair and the glue used must be of excellent quality to dry quickly, not run and hold well.

HOW TO APPLY FALSE EYELASHES:
1. First, apply the eyelashes, before applying the eyeshadow, because this way, if the glue runs, you don’t need to remove all the makeup to correct the mistake. Measure their size against your eyes and cut off the excess.
2. Then, drip two drops of glue onto the back of your hand and pass the base of the false eyelashes over it, a tip is to hold them with tweezers.

3. You have to start gluing in the center, then adjust the inner corner and then the outer corner. Use the other end of the tweezers or the handle of a fine brush to securely fix the artificial strands to the natural ones. Keep an eye on the ends, which always need more glue, as they are more resistant to fixing.
4. Then, make a line with eyeliner or black pencil close to the root of the eyelashes to hide the glue residue, and then finish with two layers of mascara, which will make the look more dramatic, as well as helping to camouflage it.

For those who don’t know, false eyelashes, when they are of good quality, can be reused several times, as long as they are always well cleaned and maintained. After removing them, gently pulling them from the outer corner, immerse them in a shallow container with makeup remover, preferably two-phase, until all the glue comes out. Finally, completely remove the mask from the artificial hairs, using a cotton pad or flexible swab with makeup remover, and rubbing carefully. That’s it, then let them dry and store them in the original box, in the same position they came in.
