PREP

Before anything else, be sure to apply a layer of mascara to the top and bottom lashes. This will give them a nice curve and also darken them, which will allow them to blend well with the strip lashes.

REMOVING THE LASHES FROM THE BOX

Remove any outer packaging. Place the lashes in their packaging facing away from you (the band should be closest to you, with the ends of the lashes the furthest away). Gently use your fingers or some tweezers to remove one of the strips from their packaging. Make sure to peel them from the outer edge to avoid damage to the inner part of the lashes. The reason you want to do this is because if you need to trim  them down to fit your eye, this will most likely be from the other edge. 

FITTING THE LASHES TO YOUR EYE SHAPE

Gently place the band along your lash line to see whether you need to trim it to suit your eye shape. The band should start where your natural bulk of lashes begin. You don't want to start too close to the inner corner of the eye, as this will irritate your eyes. To mark where your lash band should end, go to the outer corner of the eye and count 2-4 lashes inwards. You don't want them hanging over, or it can pull the eyes down.

Once you know where to place your lashes, you now whether or not they need to be trimmed. If you do have to trim your lashes to fit your eye shape, remember to do it from the outside edge and don't cut through the lashes. Do not cut upwards you'll chop half of other lashes off you wanted to keep. Make sure to carefully cut only from the band side of the lashes. 

APPLYING THE GLUE

Apply thin layer of glue (straight from the adhesive applicator) along the band of the lashes. Make sure to apply across the whole of the tip of the band. Wait a few seconds for it to go tacky before you try to apply. 

Remember to place the lash band where you measured earlier.  Press the band down against your lash line in the centre, the outer edge and inner corner.

NEED SOME UPLIFT?

If you want/need to create more uplift with your lashes, finish by gently pushing against the lashes at the edge of the inner lash line all the way along to the outer edge.
