Third time was the chime

It was such a nightmare last night when I tried to practice putting on fake eyelash last night. I tried and tried and it failed. 3+ hours wasted, plus one side of the fake eyelash was ruin. I went to bed with headache and frustration.

Today I continue my study on learning how to put on fake eyelash. I think I got it nailed this time. And alone the process I learned some tidbits that works at least to myself:

  • Avoid putting on eyeshadow before putting on fake eyelashes. The powder seems to make

    it much harder to keep the eyelashes to stay on.

    However, I did have some luck to put on fake eyelashes even after putting liquid eyeliner on first. So both naked eye or the eye with liquid eyeliner worked for me. Eyes with Eyeshadow put on failed.







  • Don't wait until the glue totally tried up before put them on. I tried so many times and they failed like hell. Eventually I put the glues on an eyelash, waited for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then I put it on. I tried that method twice and both worked pretty well.

  • Don't try to forcefully pull tried glue form the edge of the eyelash. You may ruin it. And in fact that's exactly how I ruin a fake eyelash.

  • A good lamp and a mirror is a great help for the process. In fact I will bring this set to A-con to make my putting on of eyelash as painless as possible.











  • Be very very patient. The more you rush the worse the result. And with the eyes tensed up, it will be so much harder to put on eyelashes.

  • I accidentally brought a full set when my old glue was actually working fine. In fact, it's the EXACT SAME BRAND. Oh well.


























  • Use the eyeliner marker I mentioned before (in the photo) to slighly tap the area which fake eyelash was applied in order to make the fake eyelash blend in better.
