False eyelashes...other eye makeup first?

Which is best when wearing false eyelashes, to apply all your liner and shadow first, or apply the lashes first?False eyelashes...other eye makeup first?
Your falsies should come last. Even if you were to just wear mascara, your lashes should always be last, lest some shadow fall into them and make the colour murky.


Make sure you've got an eyeliner on (to help hide the band... a lot of people are saying to do your eyeliner after: DON'T. It will end up too thick and its way harder to get the line perfectly straight. There's no better way to emphasize that the band is there then to do the liner after the lashes are already on), then curl your lashes. Apply glue to the false lashes. You don't need much, otherwise it could seep out onto your lid. (the ';preglued'; message on the box just means its enough to stick to the packaging, not your eyes! Duo is a great lash glue) and apply. If some glue does go on your lid, you can dab it away quickly with a pointed q-tip, and lightly dab a dot of liner to correct if you need. It just takes practice, but its no excuse to put the lashes on first and ruin them by covering them in eyeshadow.


Never curl afterwards, because although most lashes are made of real hair, they'll still crimp and get ruined. Don't end it here, as a lot of people do!!


You still need to apply mascara! This 'glues' your real lashes to the false ones, blending them in together to look more natural, and making sure that in a couple of hours, your real lashes don't start to sag giving you that horrible ';double lashes'; look, where you can see the false lashes, then a space, then your own lashes...


Mascara won't ruin your false lashes. When you take them off at the end of the night, don't clean them with water (this will curl and ruin them), just comb them through with a clean mascara wand and pick off the glue on the band.


Piece of cake!False eyelashes...other eye makeup first?
everything else up first.


fake eyelashes last.
Apply the eyelashes first....think about it...if you mess up and have to wipe off any excess glue, the makeup is going to come off with that...do you really want to do your eyemake up again?
Put on all your make up first then curl your lashes. This opens up your eyes and hides the fact you're wearing false lashes when you finally put them on. I do this and people always comment on how amazing my eyelashes are. Also if you are using falsies the that are sized the length of the eye cut them in half and just glue to outer edge of eye. Also when you have cut them in half it is a good idea to place them under a heavy book for a couple of hours to flatten them out a bit before you apply them cos they can tend to be too curly and this can make them look more false. Also if you do it like this you can use the lashes several times before throwing them out saving you money. hope this helps. If your using the single lashes then forget all that about cutting flattening etc :) xx
when puting on false lash you must put on last and makeup


first because when you put your make up on first you might


mess up your make up
apply eyelinner first then false lashes then eye shaddow, dust your new eyelashes with eye shaddow (optional), then maskara.


for curlier lashes apply vaseline on them over night but do not use false lashes the day after cos they wont stick.


Hope i helped


Dont put to much glue or you will get sticky eye syndrome where your eyes stick together


Not very atractive
I wear liquid eyeliner and false eyelashes..(cut down of course). I put a thin line then my lashes..and if i need to fix the eyeliner i do it after..i've worn eyelashes for about 5 yrs now.
Your lashes go on last, always. Even if you get a lot of glue on, it is transparent and not visible when it dries. Or, you can get black liquid liner to go over it. Think about it ;)





Also, putting on eyeshadow after lashes gets in the lashes and is a pain. Lashes last!
no no theresa is Wrong don't put them on first. if you curl them and put mascara on them they will get all spiredy and bend and be unuseable again. you should be able to use false lashes a good few times by carefully removing the glue each time you take them off and put thm somewhere safe. plus if you put them on first you will get eyesshadow powdr etc on them NOT A GOOD IDEA.
You should apply all your other make-up first, and then place the false eyelashes on.
After eye makeup is done then lashes are applied.


(I recommend duo transparent eye lash adhesive available at all pharmacy's .) make sure lashes will fit the lid and trim if need be on the outside edges. if your own lashes are very straight then i would curl them to better blend them with the false lashes. once lashes are on go over seem with some liquid liner be careful not to over do it the liquid can make the adhesive unstick. mascara and curl if need be a final time.
Flaca is the only one who got this right....I wear them often and have done it both ways through trial and error..and yes, put your fake lashes on first! yes the glue is transparent when it dries, but it can and will mess up your liner and eyeshadow. Also by putting the lashes on first, you can see where you need to cover over the band with liner so it is more invisible and blends. After they are set, you can apply the rest of your makeup and curl them if you like and even apply mascara for a more dramatic effect. ALWAYS FIRST!
