How to Use Regular Glue for False Eyelashes
By Alice Godfrey
False eyelashes can be worn for fun or as a fashion accessory. The false eyelashes must be adhered to the existing eyelashes if they are to be properly used. You can use regular non-toxic, hyper-allergenic glue to hold the false eyelashes onto your skin, should the special adhesive designed for them not be available. No special equipment is needed.
To Use Regular Glue for False Eyelashes You’ll Need:
- Soap
- Bath towel
- Mascara
- Glue stick (hyper-allergenic)
To Use Regular Glue for False Eyelashes Instructions:
- Wash your face with soap and water. Pat your face dry with a bath towel. Close one of your eyes. Apply mascara to the eyelid with the mascara’s applicator brush. Keep your eye closed for a few minutes before opening it again.
- Remove the adhesive strip running along the top of one of the false eyelashes. If there is no adhesive paper backing, ignore this step. Hold the false eyelash with the curved side facing up.
- Place the tip of the glue stick against the left side at the top of the curved end. Push down on the stick as you drag the glue against the length of the eyelash. Remove the stick once you reach the other end.
- Close the eye that has the mascara on the lid. Line up the curved end of the false eyelash with your eyelash. Place the false eyelash against your own eyelash.
- Smooth the two together by pressing them along their length with your fingers. Repeat the procedure just completed to put the second false eyelash on your other eye.
To Use Regular Glue for False Eyelashes Tips:
- The length of time the glue will hold will depend on the moisture and oil content of your skin.
