Other Info: Promises to be a long lasting and fast drying adhesive – that is recommended for use with Eylure brand lashes but it can be used with any in my opinion. Promises to be safe and easy to use – even if its your first time applying falsies!

Now the tube this glue comes in is VERY tiny which most people will assume is a bad thing but I dont think so. The small size means this is easy to carry around should your lashes need a little touch up while your on the go and because you only use a very small amount each time even this tiny 6ml tube will last a really long time so small is better in this case. This glue comes in a 6ml transparent tube – not a squeezy one like Im used to but a proper little bottle with a seperate applicator on the inside – which makes application SO much easier Ive found. Now there isnt much information on the bottle but on the box you will find – ingredients, directions for use but sadly no shelf life – I like having a shelf life on eye products because my eye area is very sensitive so thats annoying for me personally. However you can tell when the glues gone out of date as it starts smelling like fish – that sounds strange but its actually true! At the top of the bottle is the small pull out applicator which is pulled out to reveal the wand and the glue – the lid is very secure Ive found so theres no worries when your carrying this around, it wont leak as long as you have put the top on properly after application.

Application like anything just takes practice – I doubt anyone would get it right first time but Ill try and outline it as well as I can -

1. Apply a very thin layer of the glue along the back of one of your eyelashes.
2. Then wait for at least 30 seconds until the glue goes slightly tacky.
3. Then apply the lash just over your normal lash and you should be good to go.
4. Obviously remember to secure the top of the glue properly and then blend your false and natural lashes with some liquid liner and mascara if you need to.

Thats the best way I can describe how I use this – everyone will be slightly different but once you get the hang of it, it really couldnt be simpler. The less glue you use is actually better here – too much will mean your lashes will slide about on your eyelid and they wont stay in place for as long and they will be harder to remove in the end so only use a small amount and you will get best results. Also using too much could mean your eyes will get glued shut which lets face it isnt the desired look!!

The glue itself is very thick (which is why less is more!!) and is quite in colour but Im happy to say when this dries it is totally clear so even if your applying lashes in a rush there wont be white blobs all over your lids. This makes your lashes stick in place very easily and once they are on they wont budge – thats why its better to practice a few times before settling on the look I think. Whenever Ive used this glue Ive never had a problem with my lashes falling off or loosening throughout the night – Ive even fell asleep in my lashes before, woken up and found them still in place so this glue will make sure your look stays put all night. Having said that though your lashes will still be easy to remove by just pulling them off – and NO it doesnt hurt or leave your skin looking red or sore so brilliant. I wouldnt swap this glue for any other because it does everything I need so it comes highly recommended from me.

ARDELL LASHES

It was movie magic that launched a famous beauty trend. In 1916, legendary movie director, D.W. Griffith wanted Seena Owen, the leading lady of his epic, “Intolerance”, to have glamorous lashes so long they would gracefully touch her cheeks when she fluttered her eyelashes or looked down thoughtfully. A wig maker wove human hair through fine gauze and gummed them to Owen’s eyelids creating the very first set of false eyelashes. Needless to say, women wanted the same movie star lashes and a trend was born.

Popular Ardell Lashes Lines include:

The idea behind these lashes is that the strings aid the lash user in positioning the lashes initially and then pop out once situated.  They’re currently only available in the UK at Boots stores or on www.boots.com.

Pretty neat, huh?

How to apply Fake Eyelashes

Below for expert tips on how to apply your new mod  false eyelashes from Andrea.

1. Apply make up as you usually would – foundation etc.

2. Apply a thin line of eyeliner, either pencil or liquid to your top lashes.

3. For a fuller effect coat your own lashes with two coats of mascara.

4. With a steady hand take your Andrea false eyelashes out of the container making sure they are as they should be.

5. Using a close mirror, take each eyelash set out by itself (making sure you have the right and the left eyelash set identified).

6. Make sure it fits, if too long then cut a little off the end.

7. With clean hands, apply a thin coating of eyelash glue supplied across the join.

8. Steadily match these to your natural eyelash line, move quickly if you need too. Hold in place for 10 seconds  or and release, they should hold.

9. Apply this to the other set.

10. Once the false eyelashes are applied if there are any gaps simply apply another layer of eyeliner over the top to make them look as natural as possible. If you need to add an extra coat of mascara. Finally enjoy your new lashes! Be sure to take the little tube of eyelash glue with you if possible in case they drop slightly!

To remove, gently pull them off, if they are in good condition they can be used again so simply keep them in a safe place away from water and humidity, somewhere dry.

After these lashes are cleaned, you won’t find a trace of make-up, glue or dirt on them.

I usually use DUO adhesive, as it is easy to remove.

Removing the eyelashes from the eye is actually very simple. You can use a cotton swab or your finger to gently push on the falsies. Push on the band in a downward motion to detach the falsies from your eyelid. While firmly gripping the falsies, pull the lashes away from your eyelid from inner corner to outer corner.

To clean the lash band, you will need a tool, such as flat tweezers, to help you remove the glue and cosmetics from the lashes.

While firmly gripping the lashes with one hand, use the tweezers to gently pull of sections of glue adhered to the lash band.

In fact, if you have nails that are just the right length, not too long and not too short, you can use your nails to pull off the glue from the lashes instead of using tweezers.

When you have plucked off the glue from the lashes, place the lashes flat on a paper towel.

With a cotton swab, spray a little bit of alcoholic lotion and stroke the lashes with the swab from the band down to the tips of the eyelashes.

I do not recommend using makeup products to clean, as many of them can end up making a mess if they are too oily.

Once you’re finished, the fake lashes look a lot like new lashes. You can wear them for up to a month if you keep them clean. Place the newly cleaned false eyelashes back in their original box to help them maintain their shape and keep them sanitary.

She glued a strip of false lashes to the outer corners of the eyes, dusted peach blush on the cheeks, and blotted a mix of three berry lipsticks on the models’ mouths.

To get this look, try using false eyelash accents for the outer corner of the eyes. Some good, affordable ones: Andrea or Ardell Lash Accents, starting at $2.55 – 3.49 per pair

Recently a new type of  lash extension has made it’s way onto the scene. It’s the C-Curl and just as the name sounds so does the lash look. This style lash extension has an extreme curl that resemble the letter “C” and is not a style that works for just anyone. If your lashes are super straight you may not be a good candidate.

Due to the extreme nature of the curl there is not much room for the C-Curl extensions to adhere therefore not offering enough base support to hold the lash for a long period. An option would be for the lash professional to curl your lashes first with a heated lash curler. Clients whose natural curled lashes would obviously benefit more since it would follow the line of the curl alot more and offer the base support. One thing to mention is that the C-Curl lashes does offer more pronounced and dramatic look where the J-Curl lashes offers a more natural look. It’s just deciding what look you want to achieve and this of course I would recommend discussing with your eyelash professional prior to the application.
