Get Great Looking False Eyelashes

By Gwen Payne

The eyelashes perform a very practical function in that they protect the eye from being injured. They also add to the beauty of the eye as well as the appearance of the face as a whole. While you may think that they are subtle in their importance, sparse eyelashes stand out more than you would think.

False eyelashes are a shortcut to actually achieving longer lashes. This is something that mascara can not do alone. To improve the effect, cut the fake eyelashes down so that they match the width of the eye. You can also cut the length of the lashes a bit, but be careful not to leave them with an unnatural appearance.

Recently I discovered tightlining as a technique to make my lashes appear longer than they really are. I use my eyeliner to line my eyes tighter than normal. The effect appears more natural as it is pushed onto my lashes.

After they are on, you can apply mascara. Use a gentle pressure so that you do not undo the glue. If there are any gaps from the false eyelash not lining up with your own lash, use eyeliner to fill them in.

If you have completed all the steps properly, your eyelashes will appear fuller and darker. When I am all done, I can actually see my eyelashes which is saying a lot for me.

The improvement in the look of your eyelashes can do wonders for your self-confidence. This is particularly true if you have been feeling at all insecure about them. If something as simple as this makes you feel better about yourself, then more power to you. There is no reason why you shouldn't take advantage of it. - 16083
