How to apply false eyelashes

Friday, 4 May 2012 8:18 AM

Need some top tips to keep your lashes luscious? Full, fluttery eyes are an enduring trend for summer and now is the perfect time to get to grips with strip lashes to revitalising your nighttime look. Tesco stocks Revlon and Eylure lashes.

Revlon kits contain one set of reusable lashes and specialist lash glue to keep your lashes in place for that special occasion. Prices start from £4.10. And to celebrate 10 years since Girls Aloud first formed, Eylure has also introduced a special 10th anniversary edition of the Girls Aloud lashes, £5.11. 

To apply your lashes, firstly hold them against your eye to measure them against the length of your own natural lash line and cut them to fit. If you leave them too long, they will drag your eyes down. Apply the adhesive on the full length of the base of the false lashes, wait 20-30 seconds, then using tweezers, hold the strip lash in the centre and bring it as close to your natural lash line as possible. Press from end to end and hold.

If you are a regular user of falsies, your natural lashes are probably a little weak and battered. M2 Eyelash Activating Serum, £123, available at Harrods exclusively, will give your lashes a new lease of life in just four weeks.
