Clean the Eyes First
Before we delve into the specifics of how to apply individual lashes, it is important to clean each lash with an appropriate cleaning product. Ocusoft Lid Scrub, $19, is a good choice. Open the top of the bottle and pump out some of the foaming liquid into your hand. Scrub it onto each lash for a thorough wash.

This process will disinfect them and allow for easier application. Wash off the foam with a damp rag, and dab dry with paper towels or cloth towels to finish.

Curl Them Appropriately
Now, you need to curl your real eyelashes to prepare them for the application process. Use a tool like the Revlon Eyelash Curler, $8.99, for the best curls. Press the curler to your lashes, squeeze the handles, and hold to create lovely swirls.

Next, open your lash kit and separate all the items carefully. You should have lashes for both eyes, lash glue, and some tweezers. Sort these out and get ready to apply each lash individually.

Applying Them
Here comes the most demanding part of the whole process: the application. First of all, you need to choose a brand that you can trust. We recommend Shu Uemura Black Velvet Feather False Eyelashes, $25. Each package of these includes multiple style options for your convenience.

Once you've opened up the box and got everything ready, place a small dab of lash glue on the back of your hand. Use your tweezers to pick up a false lash by the base. The base is where you will apply the lash to your eyelid.

Next, carefully dab the lash in the glue, making sure to spread it evenly across the base of the lash. Before applying, wait about 15 seconds. This delay gives the glue time to get sticky.

Tilt your head back carefully while facing a mirror. Doing so lets you see your lash line and makes everything a lot easier. Carefully press the base of the lash to the outer corner of your eye. Press it in an open spot between your eyelashes and wiggle it. Wiggling helps it settle on the lash line properly.

Take a look at your artificial lash in the mirror. Carefully adjust it as necessary to ensure that it is even with your real lashes. Now, pick up another artificial lash with your tweezers and add glue to its base. Press it in place next to the one you just inserted using the same process.

Continue this process and spread each false lash evenly. This will create a thick and rich style. Use no more than five on each eye. Repeat the process on the second eye to finish.

Anyone can learn how to apply individual lashes like the pros. By following this simple process, you can turn your usual lash style into one that will look gorgeous.
