How to apply false eyelashes like a pro

Hair and makeup artist Kelby Blosser gives a step by step guide to applying false eye lashes. #newdaynw

SEATTLE — Whether you prefer a natural look or want dramatic, glamorous fringe - false eyelashes can instantly elevate your look. But let's face it - they're not the easiest thing to put on, especially if you don't know what you're doing. Hair and makeup artist Kelby Blosser shares her tips for applying false eyelashes like a pro.

Step 1. Size the lashes

Before gluing the lashes on, you will need to make sure they are not too long for your eye. Hold the lash strips up against your eyelid, and trim them down on the sides if necessary. For easier application, consider trimming the lashes into three sections

Step 2. Apply lash glue

Apply a thin bead of eyelash glue to the band (base) of the eyelashes, then wait a few seconds for the glue to harden and become tacky.

Step 3. Fuse lashes together

With tweezers or your fingers, very precisely line the band as close to your lash line as possible. Fuse the lashes together with a curved lash applicator or tweezer. Gently clamp down to help them stay in place.

Step 4: Finish with eyeliner and mascara

Kelby's favorites:
