When it comes to being a pro in your eye game, false eyelashes are a game-changer. If you're heading to a glamorous event or you just want to add a little extra flair to your everyday look, false lashes can do wonders. But if you're a beginner, the thought of applying them might seem daunting. Where do you even start? How do you choose the right ones? Don’t worry! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about false eyelashes, making the process fun and easy.
Why Choose False Eyelashes?
Let’s start with the basics: why should you even consider wearing false eyelashes? Well, think of them as the finishing touch to your makeup look. They can enhance the shape of your eyes, add volume and length to your natural lashes, and give you that extra boost of confidence. Plus, they're perfect for those days when you want to skip mascara but still have those dreamy, fluttery lashes.
But the magic of false eyelashes isn't just in their ability to transform your look. They also offer versatility. You can go for a subtle, natural look or a dramatic, full-on glam style. The best part? KLA Beauty has got you covered with high-quality lashes, easy-to-use tweezers, and reliable glue, so you can master the art of applying them effortlessly.
Types of False Eyelashes: Finding Your Perfect Match
Before diving into application, let’s talk about the types of false eyelashes available. The options might seem overwhelming, but it all comes down to what suits your style and eye shape.
Strip Lashes (H3): These are the most common type and come in a variety of styles, from natural to bold. They are a single strip of lashes that you apply along your natural lash line. If you're just starting out, strip lashes are the way to go!
Individual Lashes :
For a more customized look, individual lashes (or clusters) allow you to apply as many or as few as you like. This option is great if you want to fill in sparse areas or create a more natural appearance. However, they do require a bit more precision and patience.
Magnetic Lashes :
A newer option that eliminates the need for glue, magnetic lashes attach using tiny magnets. They’re easy to adjust and remove but might take some practice to get right. While KLA Beauty specializes in traditional false lashes, it’s good to know all the options available.
Choosing the Right Style for You
Choosing the right style of lashes is all about understanding the look you’re going for and what complements your eye shape:
Round Eyes :
If you have round eyes, opt for lashes that are longer in the middle to accentuate your natural shape. Look for styles that add volume without elongating too much on the outer corners.
Signora Lashes by KLA Beauty will do the work.
Almond Eyes:
Almost any lash style works with almond eyes! If you have almond-shaped eyes, consider yourself lucky. From wispy, natural lashes to dramatic, voluminous styles, you can play with different looks.
Raffinata Lashes can give you the natural look, and Femmina Lashes will give you the dramatic one.
Hooded Eyes:
For hooded eyes, go for lashes that are longer in the center to open up your eyes and avoid lashes that are too heavy on the outer corners.
Monolid Eyes:
Monolid eyes benefit from multi-layered and wispy styles that add dimension and depth, such as KLA’s Magnifica Lashes
Deep-Set Eyes:
If you have deep-set eyes, longer lashes with a curl can help bring your eyes forward and make them pop, try our Vivace Lashes.
Tools You Need: The Essentials
To get started, you’ll need three essential tools: lashes, tweezers, and glue. KLA Beauty offers all these must-haves, designed for easy use and effectiveness.
False Lashes :
Choose a style that complements your eyes and fits the occasion. KLA Beauty’s false lashes come in various styles, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Tweezers :
Using tweezers for application gives you precision and control. KLA Beauty's tweezers are specifically designed to help you position the lashes close to your lash line without hassle.
Eyelash Glue :
The glue is just as important as the lashes themselves. KLA Beauty’s glue is formulated to provide a strong hold without damaging your natural lashes. Plus, it's easy to remove, so you don’t have to worry about tugging or pulling.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying False Eyelashes
Now, let’s get to the fun part, applying your lashes! Here’s a step-by-step guide to make the process as smooth as possible.
Step 1: Prep Your Natural Lashes
Before you start, make sure your natural lashes are clean and dry. You can curl them and apply a coat of mascara if you want, which helps blend your natural lashes with the false ones.
Step 2: Measure and Trim
Hold the false lash strip up to your eyelid to measure. If it’s too long, trim the outer edge with a small pair of scissors. Remember, it’s better to trim less than too much, so go slowly!
Step 3: Apply the Glue
Using KLA Beauty’s lash glue, apply a thin line along the lash band. Wait for about 30 seconds to let it get tacky. This is the secret to getting them to stick well without sliding around.
Step 4: Use Tweezers for Precision
With the help of KLA Beauty's tweezers, carefully place the lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start by positioning the middle of the lash strip, then adjust the inner and outer corners.
Step 5: Secure and Adjust
Once the lashes are on, use your fingers or tweezers to gently press them down along the lash line. If needed, adjust them to ensure they are comfortable and look natural.
Step 6: Blend and Finish
To blend the false lashes with your natural ones, you can apply a light coat of mascara. Use eyeliner to conceal any visible lash band and fill in any gaps. And voila! Your lashes are set, and you're ready to flaunt them.
Tips and Tricks for a Flawless Lash Application
Practice Makes Perfect :
Don’t be discouraged if your first try isn’t perfect. It takes practice to get the hang of applying false lashes. Keep at it, and soon you’ll be a pro.
Less is More with Glue :
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is using too much glue. A thin, even layer is all you need. Too much glue can cause a mess and make the lashes slide around.
Choose Wisely for Your Eye Shape :
As mentioned earlier, knowing your eye shape helps you pick the right style. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles until you find the one that feels like you.
Store Your Lashes Properly :
If you want to reuse your lashes, make sure to clean them gently and store them in their original packaging. This keeps them in shape and ready for the next use.
Remove Them Gently:
When it’s time to take off your lashes, don’t just pull them off. Use a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to soften the glue and remove them carefully without damaging your natural lashes.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Skipping the Trim :
Always measure and trim your lashes to fit your eye. If the lashes are too long, they can make your eyes appear droopy.
Not Waiting for the Glue to Dry Slightly :
As mentioned, the glue needs to be tacky, not wet, before you apply the lashes. This step is crucial for a secure application.
Applying Lashes Too Far from the Lash Line :
Make sure you get as close to your natural lash line as possible. This creates a seamless look and avoids any awkward gaps.
