False Eyelash Tutorial

Hello,
Long time reader, first time poster here ^_^
A few of my friends have recently admitted to being scared of False Eyelashes as they didn't know what to do with them. I thought that was very sad as falsies are integral for vintage make up and having just put together a couple of tutorials for a friend I thought I would post them here for all of you.
Bearing in mind this is how I do my eyelashes and have learnt by trial and error.

I hope you find them helpful! ^_^



 


I use the large eye style for burlesque acts, 50s photoshoots and when
I want to look feminine and sweet.

 


I use the reverse lashes for when I want to look vampy, pin up shoots
and vixen outfits.

Thanks! I think I might try some out this weekend!

I have some questions, though. What are large eye and reverse eyelashes? And have you ever put lashes on a creaseless/asian eye?

large eye and reverse eyelashes are just names i gave to the techniques.
You can use any set of false eyelashes for these, it's just the way you cut and apply them. ^_^
I've never put lashes on asian eyes, but i can only suggest to make sure you place them as close as you can to your own eyelashes or else you'll get a noticable gap and it will ruin the effect.

I have wanted to play with falsies and also with eyeliner. I am just going to have to lock myself in the bathroom and go for it.

Thanks for the tips, saved to favorites!
