Applying false lashes underneath your eyes, also known as lower lashes or bottom lashes, can add a unique and dramatic touch to your makeup look. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to apply false lashes underneath:
Materials Needed:
- Lower false lashes
- Tweezers
- Lash glue
- Small mirror
Steps:
-
Prepare Your Lower Lashes: Ensure that your lower lashes are clean and mascara-free. If you've applied any eye makeup, such as eyeshadow or eyeliner, complete those steps before applying lower lashes.
-
Choose the Right Lashes: Select lower false lashes that are specifically designed for the lower lash line. These lashes are often shorter and more delicate than traditional upper lashes.
-
Trim if Necessary: Measure the length of the lower false lashes against your lower lash line. Trim any excess length if needed, keeping in mind that lower lashes should generally be shorter than upper lashes.
-
Apply Lash Glue: Apply a small amount of lash glue to the base of the lower false lashes. Use a thin layer to avoid excess glue that could irritate your eyes.
-
Wait for the Glue to Get Tacky: Allow the glue to become slightly tacky before applying the lashes. This usually takes about 20-30 seconds. You can blow on the lashes or gently wave them in the air to speed up the drying process.
-
Look Down into a Mirror: Hold a small mirror below your face or tilt your head back slightly so you can see your lower lash line clearly.
-
Place the Lashes: Using tweezers, carefully place the lower false lashes just above your natural lower lash line. Aim to position them as close to the roots of your lower lashes as possible.
-
Press and Secure: Gently press the false lashes against your natural lower lashes to ensure they adhere well. Hold them in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set.
-
Adjust if Necessary: If the lashes need adjustment, use the tweezers to reposition them. Ensure that they are comfortable and securely attached.
-
Blend with Mascara (Optional): If desired, you can use a small amount of mascara on your natural lower lashes to blend them with the false lashes.
Tips:
-
Practice Patience: Applying lower lashes can be a bit tricky, so take your time and be patient.
-
Choose Lightweight Lashes: Lower lashes should generally be lightweight and subtle to avoid looking too dramatic.
-
Experiment with Styles: Explore different styles of lower lashes to find the look that complements your eyes and overall makeup.
Remember that applying lower lashes might take some practice, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't look perfect the first time. Adjustments and improvements come with experience.
