To apply:
Place your thumb parallel to the base of the lashes & gently "roll" them out of the packaging. If you try to peel them out from one end, you will risk deforming & potentially damaging the lashes.
Gently roll the lashband around your index finger to enhance the curve of the band - this will allow the false lashes to sit more naturally against the curve of your eye.
Before applying glue, place the lashes against each eye & "measure" the amount that hangs past the outer corner of the eye. Trim this excess with a small pair of brow/nail scissors.
Curl your own lashes!
Place a small amount (pea-sized) of glue on the back of your hand or on a palette - I like to use the outside of the lash packaging for this. Using an orangewood stick (typically used in manicuring), pick up a small amount of glue & lightly coat the entire lash band, edge to edge, concentrating on the ends. These will be the first areas to "lift" during wear.
Lightly fan the lash back & forth for 30 seconds to allow the glue to become tacky. If you apply them right away, the glue will be too wet, causing the lash to slip around as you try to place it.
Once the glue is tacky, hold the lash from the middle using either your fingers or a pair of tweezers. Look down into a mirror & place the middle of the lash as close to your own lashline as possible. Quickly place the inside & outside corners next. Don't be afraid to wiggle the lashes around in order to get the best placement.
Allow to dry - until the glue becomes clear.
Apply mascara to "blend" your own lashes with the falsies. Apply eyeliner to the upper lashline to hide the lashband & cover any glue that may be showing.
To remove:
Gently peel from the outer corner, being careful not to pull your own lashes. If you are feeling too much resistance from the lashes, soak a cotton pad with a waterproof eye makeup remover & press gently over the lashline to loosen the bond between your own lashes & the falsies.
With proper care, lashes can be reused between 3-5 times. After use, peel off any glue residue & soak the lashes in 70% alcohol. Reshape them by placing them back in the original case.
