[excerpt] Here are some tips to help girls get the most out of fun, fabulous false eyelashes:
1. Decide between being either a full-on glamour puss (which is recommended for evening events or highly stylized photos), or a more subtle glamour-girl by just pumping up the volume on existing eyelashes - making them look thicker and fuller without the daily application of mascara.
2. Full strips of false eyelashes are best for high drama, but be aware that everyone will know they're false! For a more subtle vibe, the individual lashes or clumps of eyelashes will plump up existing ones while looking less obvious than the full strip variety.
3. Choose lashes close to the color of one's own eyelashes. Use sharp scissors to trim them if needed, to follow the natural curve of the lash line. Individual or clump false eyelashes look best when placed on the outer corners of the eye -- upper lashes only.
Applying Tips:
1. With all styles, use tweezers to handle the lashes. Apply the glue to the false eyelashes, never to the eyelid. Wait a moment for the glue to get sticky. After placing them, quickly make any adjustments. Let them set for a few minutes, then apply eye makeup.
