Hold them in the packet under your nose with the lashes facing outwards; this will identify the left and right lashes as they're not always marked. To remove always peel them from the outer edge, never from the inner corner. This is because if you bend one section of lashes on the outside it doesn't matter as it's more than likely you'll be trimming them off to fit your eyes anyway. If you bend or break the lash from the inner corner, it matters! Gently tease it out using your fingers or tweezers and rest the lashes back in the box.

Rest the strip lash along your lash line to see whether you need to trim it to size. The strip should start where your natural bulk of eyelashes begin, if you start too close to the inner corner it will irritate your eyes. To mark where your strip lashes should end, go to the outer corner and count 2-4 lashes inwards. If you have them hanging over, it can pull the eyes down.

One size does not fit all when it comes to falsies. Your lashes may need a little bit of trimming before you apply them. Hold your false eyelashes against your eyelid to see if they’re too wide for your eye. If they are, go ahead and trim them with a pair of scissors. The eyelash strip should follow your natural eyelashes and not overhang. If they’re too long, they create a droopy look that’s not attractive. You can even trim the individual lashes if you think they’re too long and unnatural looking. Remember, the lashes should be longer towards the outer corner of the eye and shorter towards the inner corner of the eye.

Shaping your false lash strips prior to applying glue is important.Bend your falsies into the shape of C and hold for a few seconds. The lash strip must follow the natural contour of your upper eye lid to adhere properly and look natural. The last thing you want is for the edges to start lifting up.

You can use an eyelash applicator, a pair of tweezers or your fingers to apply false eyelashes. Choose the application technique that works best for you – you’ll instinctively find one works better for you and makes applying false eyelashes much easier. Just remember to be firm but gentle with the lashes—you don’t want to crush them. On the other hand, you also don’t want them to move when you’re applying glue.

Dot a thin layer of glue (straight from the adhesive applicator) along the vein of the lash, from corner to corner. Wait a few seconds for it to go tacky before application. If you want super long-lasting application do the 'double adhesive' technique by applying some dots of glue along your lash line as well as on the lashes.

Now here comes the tricky part: applying the lashes. Remember this isn’t a race, so take it slow. Use a magnifying mirror to see exactly where the lash strip needs to go. Bring the lash strip down from above and place on top of your natural lashes. This will get you as close as possible to your natural lash line.

After the false lash strip is placed on top of your real lashes, use your fingertips or eyelash tweezers to gently grasp your false and real lashes. Gently press together to fully adhere. If the glue is still wet, you’ll have the flexibility to move the lash strip into the correct position. If things don’t work out the first time, you can always start over.

If you want to create more uplift with your lashes, finish by gently pushing against the lashes at the edge of the inner lash line.
