Fake lashes can look amazing but applying them can seem daunting. Follow this step-by-step guide to make it easy and stress-free.
Step 1: Get Your Tools
Before you start, make sure you have:
- A pair of fake lashes (e.g. Kiss lashes).
- Eyelash adhesive or glue.
- Tweezers or eyelash applicator.
- Scissors.
- A mirror in good light.
Carefully remove the lashes from the packaging using tweezers. Measure them against your natural lash line. If they are too long, trim the outer edge with scissors to fit your eye shape.

Step 2: Apply Adhesive
Take a small amount of eyelash glue or adhesive. Apply it along the lash band. Wait 20-30 seconds for the glue to become tacky. This will prevent the lashes from moving during application.
Step 3: Place the Lashes
Using tweezers, hold the lashes at the center. Place them on your natural lash line starting from the middle. Adjust the inner and outer edges for a snug fit. Press gently with your fingers or tweezers to secure.
Step 4: Blend with Your Natural Lashes
Once the glue is dry, use an eyelash curler or apply mascara to blend the fake lashes with your real ones. This step will give you a seamless look.
Tips for Beginners
- Choose Wisely: For your first time, try lightweight lashes labeled “easy to put on.” Individual lashes or strips for beginners are best.
- Practice Placement: Try putting the lashes on without glue a few times to get the hang of it.
- Don’t Over Glue: Too much glue can be messy. Use a thin layer.
