You’ve been looking forward to the weekend all week. Barely slept through each passing night and, before you know it, Saturday night comes around and you’re struggling to get your makeup looking just the way you want it. We’ve all been there.

Applying false lashes can be difficult. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an expert pro or just getting started, if you don’t have a steady hand and precision, they can be incredibly difficult to apply. This is why Flawless created a false eyelash infographic on how to apply false eyelashes, offering a simple step by step process on how to master it at the first attempt.

The key here is preparation. One thing that is easily brushed over is ensuring that you have a clean and well lit workstation. Remember, these lashes are going to last the entire night (or day) and so taking a few extra minutes to ensure that the workstation is clean with good lighting is well worth it.

It’s also important to ensure that you select a pair of false eyelashes that fit your eye shape. For example, a longer lash would suit a more hooded eye shape and a shorter lash would suit a more rounded eye shape. Of course, it also depends on the style of lash that you wish to go for. We’ve always preferred more volume to give a more ‘dramatic’ effect.

Once you have a good clean workstation and the right lashes to fit your eye shape, then you’re good to go. Follow the 9 expert tips from Flawless in the infographic below carefully and you’ll be sure to have perfect looking false eyelashes in no time!
