Applying fake lashes is best left to your makeup artist, but with a little patience and practice, you can master this art. Don't try it just leaving to a big party. Andrea lashes are great and they are available cheap at the drugstore.

Keep a piece of paper handy to hold the lashes, and a magnifying mirror, which makes the job of applying fake eyelashes a lot easier.

Using a tweezers, dip the base end of the lashes into the glue, then place the lashes as close to the baseline of your own as you can, filling in wherever you want the greatest impact (generally, the mid to outer lashes look fabulous in false lashes). Press gently, but firmly with something blunt. Hold the lash in place for about 5 seconds until the glue has a chance to hold.

Let the glue dry, and then apply a dark eyeliner to camouflage the line of the fake eyelashes and then apply your mascara. The mascara will help blend your own lashes with the fake ones, and make your eyes look fuller and larger.

To remove, gently pull them off with tweezers.

The Perfect Eyelash

Lash is the final touch to your eye makeup. Always use an eyelash curler. It will make your eyes look wider, alert, and youthful. It's like an instant eye lift. Always curl lashes before applying mascara.

* Lightly powder lashes to give mascara a coat to cling to.

* Heat eyelash curler with hair dryer for a few seconds. It will act like a curling iron for the eyes.

Hint: Curl twice for a rounded curl. Place the open curl near the lash roots and arrange your lashes between the two rims. Squeeze gently for thirty seconds. Squeeze again at mid-lash for another thirty seconds. It looks very natural.

* Give upper lashes a second coat of mascara, concentrating on the tips by stroking the brush horizontally across the lash. Never wait when applying second coat of mascara to lashes. Mascara, especially waterproof mascara, dries quickly and can clump.

* Lightly coat lower lashes.
