**Diy Makeup Video Tutorial** How to Apply Individual False Lashes…

I am lucky enough to have been blessed with long eyelashes. They came to me by way of my Father, who had a set so long they could make grown women swoon with a combination of admiration and attraction. In turn, I have bestowed my interminable lashes upon our two children. My three year old son has eyes many women would die for, and all without the aid of even the tiniest smudge of mascara…

That said, even I opted to have a few individual false lashes added on my wedding day in order to create a fuller look with even more impact. Ever since, I've been desperate to perfect the technique myself so I can add an extra touch of glamour to my makeup for nights out and special occasions.

Thankfully, expert Makeup Artist Lucy Baker was only too happy to share her tips and tricks with me during our shoot at the glamorous Luton Hoo Hotel with photographer Naomi Kenton and filmmaker Frances of Reellove Films.

Individual false lashes are a must if you want to add a little extra ooomph to your look! They appear really natural when applied well, and bulk out any sparse areas beautifully. I regularly use, and would highly recommend, lashes by Ardell or Eylure. You will also need some eyelash glue {Duo is my preferred brand}, a pair of tweezers, and a steady hand!

Place a small amount of glue on the back of your hand {be sure to replace the lid straight away as it dries out quickly} and pick up one of the little groups of lashes with your tweezers. Dab it into the glue, root only, and let it dry for 15-20 seconds. This part is the key to easy lash application as it ensures the glue isn’t too wet or slippery when you place the lash onto the eyelid.

Add lashes to the outer corner first. Just as you are about to put the lash on, look down or close, if easier, so that your eyelid is taut. Place the lash right next to your lash line and use a finger to press it into place if necessary. Repeat this process as many times as you like, I used 3 on Franky but this is not to say you can’t go right across the eye for a fuller effect.

The glue will dry clear and your new lashes will be secure all day long. They may even feel like are part of you – until you pull them off that is!
