Bold eyelashes are a fantastic way to emphasize and embellish any look, but it might be challenging to do so if your natural lashes aren’t very long.
However, individual lashes can keep a natural appearance while lengthening and volumizing your natural lashes. Even if it may take some time to apply individual lashes, the outcome is worthwhile!

Step-by-step procedure to individually apply lashes professionally
- Clean up.
Before you proceed to apply your lashes, it is advisable to wash your hands with soap and water before touching your face to reduce the chance of contracting an illness. Likewise with whatever instruments you’re holding, like your tweezers.
- Review the directions.
Brand to brand can differ in the specific stages. To apply and utilize the product correctly, check through and read the directions and be sure to always abide by their directions.
- Plan your placement.
Your falsies can be applied above or below your lash line, depending on the appearance you’re going for. Additionally, bear in mind that each lash varies in length, so arrange the lashes to highlight the contour of the eyes (e.g., longer lashes in the middle and shorter lashes in the corners).
- Set up the eyelash glue.
Pick up the lash with your applicator, and using a cotton swab or by placing a small drop of glue on a spot that is clean and dipping the base into it, add a thin coating of adhesive to the end. Ensure to be cautious against over-dipping because it could result in a thicker adhesive layer that takes longer to dry and may be easier to spot while applying the false eyelashes. Then wait 5-15 seconds or until glue becomes tacky, then fan the lashes to increase the drying process.
- Use the first set of lashes.
Deliberately lay your first lash near the center of your eyelids, touching your lash line with your eye slightly open so you can view the top lash line. Start by looking in the mirror. After applying the initial false eyelash, use your tweezers to stroke your natural lashes in the direction of one another to help blend them together, advises Magno. To insert both “anchor” lashes, proceed with the center lashes on the opposite eye.
- Add extra eyelashes.
Until you obtain the desired look, keep adding lashes to the inner and outer corners of the lash line. If you make a mistake along the way (which you almost certainly will, especially if it’s your first time), you can remove the lash and any remaining glue by using makeup remover or lash remover.
- Making final adjustments.
You can apply eye makeup when the adhesive has had time to dry, which usually takes about 10-20 minutes. You can gently push the artificial and natural lashes together with a tweezer, your fingertips, or an eyelash curler to aid in blending and ensure placement. Apply mascara to your new lashes next, and use black eyeliner to cover any visible glue residue.
