False lashes from subtle to full

False lashes can add length, volume or extra definition along the lash line. Choose between natural-looking strips, fuller styles and accents, then check whether lash adhesive is included or sold separately.

Match the band to your comfort level

A fine flexible band can feel lighter, while a more defined band may add an eyeliner-like effect. Compare lash length and density with the eye look you want. Measure the strip, trim only if the directions allow and apply adhesive as instructed. Position with care, then blend the band with eyeliner or mascara if suitable.

Choose a lash style for the look

Short, lightly spaced false lashes can blend into everyday eye makeup, while denser or longer styles create more impact. Half lashes and accent lashes concentrate definition at the outer corner. Check the band length before adding adhesive and trim from the outer edge only when the product allows. If you wear glasses, consider lash length so the fibres do not brush the lenses. Remove lashes gently rather than pulling. Full strip lashes add definition across the whole lash line, while half lashes and accents concentrate length at the outer corner. Fine bands can blend into light eye makeup, and denser bands create a stronger effect alongside eyeliner. Consider fibre length as well as volume, especially if you wear glasses or prefer a subtle result. Fake eyelashes with varied lengths often blend more naturally with your own lashes than a perfectly uniform strip.

Finish and remove false eyelashes

Let lash adhesive become tacky according to its directions before positioning the band close to the natural lashes. Press the centre first, then secure the inner and outer corners. Once set, use eyeliner to disguise the band if needed and apply mascara only when suitable for the lash style. At the end of wear, loosen and lift false lashes gently from the outer edge. Clean reusable styles as directed and return them to their tray to hold their shape.
