After years of mascara smudges, runs and mishaps, last year I made the switch to falsies.

It was a huge step for me, a mascara girl at heart, and it didn’t come easily at first…

I had countless disasters (I was even close to gluing my eye shut at one point) but I am not one to give up, so I did my research, got some tips from the pros and persevered until l had the perfect formula.

Get it right the first time with these how-to tips for applying strip lashes…

1. Make sure that your makeup look is complete and apply a thin layer of Mascara.

2. Remove the lashes from the tray and check the fit, trimming to make sure they will fit perfectly. It is so important that you don’t have any overhanging!  

3. Apply a little bit of glue to the lashes and wait 30 seconds for it to dry a little and become sticky.

4. Apply the lash strip to your lashes, not your skin - a great tip I picked up from Chantelle Baker, a red-carpet makeup guru who uses MODELROCK Lashes.

5. I like to lean directly over a mirror – for some reason this is easier for me.

6. Press the lashes together with your natural lash for a snug fit and keep eye slightly closed for 30 seconds until the glue is dry

7.  “And voila! Your lashes should be looking gorgeous! Another optional tip is that you can apply another thin coat of mascara to your natural lash once your lashes are on; I find this helps blend both lashes together for a more natural effect,” Chantelle says.

Once you’ve got the hang of strip lashes, try individuals. These are a little more difficult to apply, but use the same principles.

When applying individual lashes, I always use MODELROCK Lashes, and follow makeup artist, Michael Brown’s tip; “My favourite look is using the 'long' lashes at the outer corner and then using medium through the middle for a fabulous winged outer corner look.”

 

There’s so many different lashes out there to choose from. My favourites are…

-       Spellbound and Hypnotic by Modelco  

-       Smokey Velvet Double Layered Lashes by MODELROCK

-       Medium knotted individuals  by MODELROCK
