Traditionally, false eyelashes are applied in strips or individual sections with a temporary adhesive to the eyelid.
False lashes should be placed at the base of the lash line, above the lashes. Generally, where you would apply the top lid liner, you would place the false lashes close to the root of the lash for the most seamless and natural look.
You want them to be as close to the bottom of your lids as possible, ideally right where your natural lashes start. In fact, it's just fine if they're sitting on your eyelashes instead of on your lids (as long as they're close to the base); this helps to have a more natural look.
By adding length, volume, and definition to your lashes, lash extensions instantly lift and open up your eyes, creating a refreshed and rejuvenated look. Whether you opt for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic effect, lash extensions can help turn back the clock and give your eyes a more youthful appearance.

Don't close your eyes when applying, Simkin stresses, because it changes your eye shape. This is kind of difficult to do at first, but you'll get it. I believe in you. She can place lash strips with her fingers but I find that using tweezers helps me.
Using an eyelash curler can help your false eyelashes appear more realistic by giving them a natural shape. The curler can also help blend false lashes with your own lashes if you have them. You want to curl your lashes after applying the false lashes, but before applying mascara.
