    Default i need help

    with the false eyelashes.
    I either get the glue in my eye..
    or i glue them too high up on my lid.
    ..and when I do get it right,which is on rare occasions,they wont stick.
    I would go with out them,but I have really small and short eye lashes,
    so any advice would be splendid.

    Get the black glue, it dries super fast and if you mess it up a little you can wpe it with a q tip and cover with eyeliner. Also try different brands, some are easier than others to apply. Once you find one that is easy stick with it. Practice practice practice.

    Try flexing the eyelashes a few times in each direction before you put them on... Then apply a small amount of glue all the way across (I use clear). Hold the ends (the tip of the eyelashes) and try to get the center onto the center of your eye. Then, push down the sides. You have a few seconds to re adjust the placement then let em dry! And practice totally makes it easy!

    Wait till the glue gets tacky, don't put them on right away. Also, try using tweezers for more precision, I never put them on with my fingers.

    *Be sure to flex the bands of the lashes before putting them on. This will help them to form to your eyelid and you will get better adhesion.

    *Then place the glue on the band of the eyelashes. Allow it to set for 30-60 seconds. I've only used the clear glue, so I'm not sure about the black glue.

    *Place the eyelashes directly above your natural lashes on your eyelid. They should be so close to your natural lashes that they blend in with each other.

    *I use a the handle of a small makeup brush to gently press the lash band in place. The glue will stick to your fingers and mess up your placement of the lashes. Try to keep your eye slightly open, so as to avoid gluing your eye shut (done that a few times!).

    I swear the black glue is best, ive tried all the others and it dries soo much quicker so you dont have to wait for it to get tacky and just blends in with your eyeliner.

    def only put on when the glue dries a little and is tacky. i use surgical adhesive - they used to sell it at MAC, not sure if they still do.

    **A really easy trick to putting them on i use:
    -take a business card and fold it in half. hold the lashes by the tips in between the folded ends of the business card- this will give u a steadier way to get them in place. put the glue on the end that is exposed between the ends of the card, allow it to dry a little, then apply the lashes strip to your eye, and open the business card and put down.

    get a make up artist to demonstrate. on you and someone else. practice and don't think too hard when you do it. and what every else said. i tried individuals the other day to go out irl. i had to cut them some and was very confused and backwards when putting them on but, when i was done they looked really natural. it took a long time tho so, in the club i just use the band kind.

    Although I can put on regular lashes,Revlon makes some nice ones that already have the adhesive on them,they are genius!
    I just stick 'em on and touch up any loose spots with a bit of glue on a toothpick and voila!
    Walgreens I think has them...

    alexis vogel recommends putting the glue on the actual fake eyelash as well, which makes things much easier for me

    people put the glue on the eye lid first? i thought it always went on the fake eyelash.

    To the op it took me about 2 months to figure it out and get good at it, and somtimes i still mess up big time.
