Lash Application

Step By Step:

1. When pulling the lashes from the packet be cautious when doing so. Be extremly careful not to pull fro the edges as this will rip the lash. Using your thumb oull downwards in the centre of the lash and work round carefully until the lash is removed.

2. Befrore applying the lashes make sure you measure it against the eye before applying the glue. Trim the outer edge is neccessary for it to fit the eye comfortably.

3. It is advised to line the top lash line with a thin layer of black gel eyeliner, this will help blend the lash line together. Apply eyeshadow as normal if neccessary.

4. The lash band should be bent before applying. Wrap the lash around your thumb or a curved object for 3+ seconds to loosen up the spine of the lash.

5. Squeeze a small amount of glue on a palette, then using an end of a brush dab the glue on until the lash band is covered. ALWAYS apply more glue to the outer edges to stop it from lifting up.

6. Make sure the glue is tacky before sticking the lash on. 30 secinds us a rough estimate.

7. Tilt the clients head back and ask the model to look down. Using eyelash tweezers place the lash in the middle of the eye close to the lash line. Once that is in place move onto the outer and inner corners of the eye.

8. Squeeze the real lashes and flase lashes, carefully together. Use eyelash curlers or just your fingers to blend the two together.

9. Use a clean mascara spoolie and Haute and Naughty lengthening mascara to make the lashes look as natural as possible and to remove the harsh line of the lash band.

In evaluation, for my first ever attempt at putting false eyelashes on someone else i believe it was a success. At first i was a bit nervous about sticking the eye shut. But from what holly explained when the model keeps her eye open and looks down it gives you room to manipulate the lash and get it close to the lash line without it going onto the bottom lash. What i found most frustrating about applying the lash is not getting it close enough to the lash line. So on the left hand side of the eye you can see a gap. Another problem i faced was applying the gel eyeliner across the lash line. What i found hard about this was getting the eyeliner into the inner corner of the eye. Holly, again explained that when going into the inner corner ask the model to look in the opposite direction to avoid stabbing the eyeball and causing injury. Next time i would probably take more time on the eyeliner, to even up the inner corner and remove gaps. I would also complete the look by applying mascara on the false lashes to blend both together. The reason i didnt do this was because we ran out of time.
