How to apply eyelashes and best false lashes

Figuring out how to put on eyelashes can be a tricky process. From finding the best false lashes for your face to mastering the application technique, there’s an almost infinite number of variables that can trip you up along the way. But despite all this, there’s no denying the added wow-factor that false lashes can provide. A good tube of mascara can only go so far: false lashes are certainly the best way to add volume, definition and drama to your look.

Whether you’re applying eyelashes for the first time or consider yourself an expert at falsies, tips and tricks to make the process easier are always appreciated. Which is why we asked our Beauty Panel to share how they apply false eyelashes. Even better, their tried-and-true answers include recommendations for some of the best false eyelash brands to try.

When it comes to tips for applying false lashes, THISWASFOREVER’s Emily Chan offers a great suggestion for newbies: cut the lash into two. The smaller lash is much easier to handle and will look more natural when you apply it—making the transition from not wearing to wearing false eyelashes seem much more seamless. Tess Lopez, of Makeup By Tess, also suggests measuring false eyelashes before you apply any glue. If they extend beyond the edge of your eye, simply trim the ends to the perfect size.

An eyelash curler is another trick to ensure your false lashes look natural against your real eyelashes. Stylish & Literate’s Aleeza Agno suggests curling your own lashes before you apply the falsies and then curling again, after they’re glued on. And Janella Panchamsingh, from Bold N Beautiful Makeup uses a false lash applicator to squeeze and bond her false lashes to her natural lashline. Ready to find out how to put on eyelashes?
