Make sure to ask your client about any allergies or sensitivities they may have towards lash glue or materials.
- Conduct a client consultation; Take the time to discuss your clients expectations, preferences and goals before proceeding with any lash application. Consider their eye shape, natural lash characteristics and the occasion for which they need the lashes. Present options while explaining their advantages and disadvantages so that clients can make an informed decision.

Below are the best techniques and products needed to offer perfect false eyelash application.
False Eyelashes Application Techniques
Step 1
Begin the process of false eyelash application by ensuring a clean and dry face. Use a gentle cleanser and soft towel to remove any oil, dirt or makeup residue that might interfere with the adhesive.
Step 2
Carefully remove the false eyelashes from their packaging, laying them on a flat surface with the smooth side facing up. Use tweezers to avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers.
Step 3
Apply a thin layer of false eyelashes glue along the entire line of the false eyelashes, using a small brush or cotton swab. Allow three to five minutes for the glue to become transparent and tacky.
Step 4
Align the false eyelashes with the client’s natural brow line, starting from the inner corner (point A) and ending at the outer corner (point B). You can use a skin-colored makeup pencil to mark these points before applying.
Step 5
Press the false eyelashes firmly onto the client’s skin, following the natural shape of the client’s brow. Hold it in place for approximately one minute until the adhesive sets. Repeat the process for the other eyelashes.
Step 6
Trim and shape the false eyelashes as needed using small scissors and a brow comb. Use a brow pencil, powder or gel sparingly to fill in gaps or create a more defined look, being cautious not to apply too much pressure or product.
False Eyelashes Different Types
There are three main types of false eyelashes:
- Strip Lashes: The most common type, these lashes feature a single band that covers the entire lash line, making them the easiest to apply especially suitable for beginners.
- Individual Lashes: Comprising single strands applied one by one to natural lashes, these lashes offer a more natural and customized look, allowing for precise control over placement.
- Cluster Lashes: These lashes consist of groups applied to the lash line or natural lashes, resulting in a dramatic and voluminous appearance, providing versatility in achieving various thicknesses and styles.
Customizing False Eyelashes to Eye Shapes
Choosing the right type of false eyelashes for your clients depends on several factors. You can follow these general guidelines for different eye shapes:
- Almond eyes: Suiting most styles, accentuate outer corners with longer or winged lashes for a cat-eye effect.
- Round Eyes: Achieve an open and balanced look with longer center strip or cluster lashes. Individual lashes fill gaps.
- Hooded Eyes: Add lift with longer outer strip or cluster lashes. Individual lashes enhance definition and depth.
- Monolid Eyes: Opt for curled and fluffy strip or cluster lashes for visibility and volume. Individual lashes add length and curl.
- Downturned Eyes: Lift and angle with longer outer strip or cluster lashes. Individual lashes add volume and drama to outer corners.
- Upturned Eyes: Achieve balance with strip or cluster lashes—longer and thicker on inner corners, shorter and thinner on outer corners. Add length and curl to inner corners with individual lashes.
Proper Removal Technique
It is important to highlight the need, for an approach when removing eyelashes to achieve the best results. I recommend advising clients to start the removal process from the corner carefully peeling towards the corner using a cotton pad soaked in a mild makeup remover or a gentle oil based solution. Stressing the importance of patience is crucial to avoid any discomfort or damage to their lashes. Additionally it’s essential to educate clients about storing removed eyelashes by encouraging them to place the lashes in a designated container in a cool and dry area. This careful removal not ensures an experience, for clients but also maintains the shape and quality of both the false lashes and their natural counterparts ultimately extending their overall lifespan.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Professionals occasionally encounter challenges in the application of false eyelashes to clients’ eyes, and here are a few common mistakes:
- Skipping the curling step can lead to a mismatched shape and a less natural look.
- Leaving a gap creates an artificial look. Apply falsies close and use eyeliner for coverage.
- Using too much glue may cause irritation. Apply a thin layer, allowing it to turn tacky.
- Neglecting to trim can result in an unnatural appearance. Measure and cut excess length.
- Choosing the wrong style for the eye shape can make eyes appear smaller. Select falsies that complement the natural features.
- Applying too much mascara after falsies can lead to clumps, compromising the aesthetic.
- Rushing the adhesive drying process may cause discomfort and premature fallout.
- Neglecting client input on preferred style and length may result in dissatisfaction.
False Eyelashes Care
- Recommend high-quality lash products for maintenance such as lash-friendly cleansers and gentle eye makeup removers.
- Advise clients to steer clear of oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye area to prevent damage to the adhesive.
- Encourage clients to clean their false eyelashes regularly to remove any makeup or residue, maintaining hygiene and longevity.
- Instruct clients to use a spoolie brush to gently comb and reshape their false eyelashes, ensuring they remain in the desired shape.
- Remind clients to handle their false eyelashes delicately, avoiding unnecessary tugging or pulling that could damage the lashes or adhesive.
- Suggest the use of a lash serum to promote natural lash health and strength, contributing to the longevity of false eyelashes.
