How to Apply False Lashes ft. Born Pretty Store

Hello pretty people :)

This week's post is about how to apply false lashes, per request! 

As you know I apply false lashes basically every day. Practice is key to master this technique ;) 

This blog features products that were sent to me from Born Pretty Store! 

I have a COUPON CODE below so keep reading! 

If you're looking for a good pair of lashes I recommend Blinking Beaute, Velour, Ardell, or Salon Perfect. For beginners, Ardell or Salon Perfect (at Target, WalMart, or Ulta) lashes might be easier for you because they have a smaller lash band. It is harder to hide and keep in place a thick lash band. 

I start off with my makeup all done. I also do my liner first. I recommend applying eyeliner when using false lashes especially if you are just starting because the liner helps hide the lash band. 

I also want to mention that my eye makeup was inspired by Ssssamanthaa from Batalash and her Nudy Plum Halo Eye :) 

STEP 1

Curl your eyelashes

Apply a non-waterproof mascara 

You will need: 

Your favorite lashes :)

Lash glue- 

I like clear Lash Grip Eyelash Adhesive 

Tweezers or Eyelash Nippers-  

These tweezers are curved to be used especially for applying eyelashes, they are from 

Born Pretty Store item #848

Use coupon code "PARKG10" for 10% off your order! 

Compact Mirror- optional but up close view of your lashes will help you see if they are on perfectly!

This crystal mirror is also from Born Pretty Store item #15839 

Coupon code "PARKG10" for 10% off once again ;) 

STEP 2

Get out yo lashes 

TRIM your lashes if necessary.. Always always trim them from the outer corner if necessary. If you trim from the inner corner of the lash they won't look right! 

These are Blinking Beaute Lashes in the style No. 1 

Apply a SMALL amount of lash glue to the strip

****The key here is to let your lash glue dry for a bit before applying.. I set mine down and let them dry to a yellowish color. But, if you let them dry too long you will have to pull off the glue and start over.. Try to find the happy medium!

STEP 3

Apply yo lashes using eyelash nippers! 

I always focus on the center of the lash first, pressing it as close to your natural lashes as possible. 

Then using your fingers or regular tweezers, apply the inner and outer corners of the lashes. 

You may have to hold them in place for a few seconds to really get them to stick. 

Also using your tweezers, I like to press my natural lashes to the false lashes.

 *If you notice the inner or outer corner of your lashes sticking to your bottom lashes, this happens to me all the time. Gently keep pulling them apart from the bottom lashes using tweezers until glue completely dries, then they shouldn't do that anymore!

STEP 4
Apply eyeliner onto the lash band to hide it

I am using the Maybelline EyeStudio Gel Eye Liner in Blackest Black

and the Sigma E65 Small Angle Brush

STEP 5
Apply mascara to the lower lashes
Apply mascara to top lashes (if necessary), trying not to get any on the false lashes because that can ruin them! 

Now enjoy your lashes :)) Be sure to stick your lash glue into your purse to carry with you in case you have a lash corner pop off..  It happens!

Duochrome Purple/Pink Makeup Look

Hello :)

I wore this look on Valentine's Day this year, I loved it so much I thought I'd share! So, if you want to see how I got this look keep reading! 

Eyes: 

First I apply MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20 to prime the eyes. 

As a transition shade in the crease I applied Peach Smoothie by Makeup Geek with a Sigma E40 blending brush. 

Again in the crease I apply Birkin & Dusty Rose from Anastasia Beverly Hills using the E40, focusing the color on the outer corner and blending in. For this look you don't want any harsh lines so blend away!! 

Now take Iridescent Purple (purple with blue iridescence) by Anastasia Beverly Hills and apply it on the outer corner of the lid area using any flat eyeshadow brush. I also layered with Opaline to darken the purple a bit.

On the center of the lid to the inner corner comes my favorite color in this look.. ELECTRO by Anastasia Beverly Hills!! This shadow is amazing! It's a duochrome bright purple with blue iridescence color so it reflects the different colors in different lighting. If you apply this with MAC Fix+ or eye drops the color will become even more intense.

(Indoor lighting, you can see how they reflect different colors)

On the lower lash line use the same ombré effect from Opaline, Iridescent Purple, to Electro into the inner corner. 

To highlight the brow bone and inner corner of the eye I used Bling from Makeup Geek.

Lashes: 

These lashes are Velour Lashes "Loose Ends" lashes (look up coupon codes!)

Liner: 

Maybelline gel liner in "Blackest Black" on top.

Nyx Cosmetics retractable eye pencil in "Purple" in the waterline.

Brows: 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in "Dark Brown." 

Face: 

Revlon ColorStay 24 hours liquid foundation for normal/dry skin in "Nude" & Revlon ColorStay powder in "Fair." Anastasia Beverly Hills "Banana" powder under the eyes.

Contour: 

Nose contour is Anastasia Beverly Hills Fawn. Cheeks & forehead are Fawn & Java. 

Blush: 

Makeup Geek "Head Over Heels" and MAC "Margin." 

Highlighter: 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in "Luminous Light 

on the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid's bow.

Lips: 

Gerard Cosmetics "Buttercup" lipstick and "Butter Cream" lighted lip gloss (look up coupon codes! I've never paid full price for these!!).

Setting Spray: 

I used Urban Decay "De-Slick" makeup setting spray to set everything since I have oily skin :) 

This stuff is the best!  

Jewelry: 

Earrings are from a Premier Designs jewelry party.
