How to Apply Faux Lashes for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Apply Faux Lashes for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide

Ever wondered how to get that gorgeous, full lash look without going to a salon? Faux lashes are your secret weapon — and once you learn how, you'll never go back! At Beautylicious Cosmetics, we've made it easy with our premium lash collection. Here's everything you need to know as a beginner.

What You'll Need

  • Your Beautylicious faux lashes
  • Lash glue
  • Eyelash tweezers or applicator
  • Eye curler (optional)
  • Scissors (optional, for trimming)

Step 1: Measure & Trim

Hold the lash strip against your eye. If it's too long, trim from the outer edge with small scissors. This is the #1 mistake beginners make — always measure first!

Step 2: Apply the Glue

Apply a thin layer of lash glue along the band. Wait 30 seconds until it becomes tacky — this is key! Wet glue won't stick properly.

Step 3: Place the Lashes

Using your tweezers, place the lash strip as close to your natural lash line as possible. Start from the center, then press down the inner and outer corners.

Step 4: Press & Secure

Gently press your natural lashes and the faux lashes together using your fingertip or the back of your tweezers. Hold for 10-15 seconds.

Step 5: Finish the Look

Apply a thin line of eyeliner along the band to blend everything seamlessly. Add mascara to blend your natural lashes with the faux ones.
