10 Fake Lashes Makeup Artists Love To Use
False lashes are an excellent way to elevate any look. While working indoors and staying at home may not feel like the best time to put on makeup, situations may arise, thus creating the need for an urgent transformation (looking at you, zoom call).
Without the mascara hassle, falsies are a great way to enhance your beauty without doing too much. Before you purchase any, consider if you want a more dramatic, natural, or sultry look like makeup artists do to achieve a specific look.
To apply, New York makeup artist Tommy told Allure, measure your lash band with your eye-line and trim off the extra ends. Put a thin layer of lash glue on the band; thicker at the front and back tips, and dry till tacky. Below are ten loved falsies makeup artists love to use.
