How to wear fake eyelashes

Many girls love doll like eyes and fake eyelashes plays a huge role in achieving those big sparkling eyes.

Today, I will share with you girls 5 important steps to putting on fake eyelashes.

1) Make sure your eyelids are not oily. The 'glue' would not be able to stick so well if you have oily eyelids.

2) Choose your preferred fake eyelashes and check for the length! (Most fake eyelashes are too long for our eyes) Measure the fake eyelashes with your own eye and trim is according to your length. Start trimming from both ends or else the eyelash will be uneven.

3) Apply adhesive 'glue' to the trimmed false eyelashes. (Make sure it is just enough, to prevent any excess 'glue' from entering the eyes)

4) When applying yourself, look into the mirror and tilt your head upwards. Your eyes will be looking downwards and that's the best position. Apply the eyelashes to the inner corner of your eyelid to the outer.

5) Press and hold the false eyelashes as close to your lash line as possible. (Be careful not to poke your eyes) Another method would be holding the fake eyelashes by the lash and push it upwards.

Leave the lashes to dry for a minute or so.

Additional tips: Apply eyeliner at the end to dramatize the effect/ curl and apply a coat of mascara before your fake eyelashes

Choosing the right foundation

Choosing the right foundation is an important part of your makeup routine. The type of coverage you choose is just as important as the color you choose. The various textures will cover in different ways, and as a result even choosing a color of the same name can appear to be different colors on the skin. Foundation is a constantly evolving beauty product and there is a formula available for every skin type and tone.

Coverage Types

Generally speaking, there are three major types of “foundation weights” available. The term “weight” refers to the opacity of the foundation and is directly correlated to the coverage results obtained when applied to your skin.

• Sheer – Sheer coverage is lightweight and provides minimal coverage of the skin. This type of coverage will be the softest and least noticeable.
• Medium – Medium coverage is the standard coverage formula. It provides light to medium coverage and can be used sparingly for less coverage or built upon with other products, such as powder, for a more opaque, heavy coverage.
• Heavy – Heavy coverage will cover almost any imperfection in the skin, and is usually on par with the texture of a concealer. Color match is especially important in this category.
