Now that you've mastered applying false lashes to your upper lash line, it's time to move to your lower lash line. "I like the look of false lashes on the bottom lashes for special events," says McAdams. "The look is a little dramatic for day, but a good bottom lash (that has a clear strip) can have a very pretty effect."
Another option: Use single lashes along your lower lash line. "It's very time-consuming but looks the most natural," she explains. Use the same technique you would for your top lashes to place the lashes, whether they're strip or individual.
The mere mention of false eyelashes can strike fear into the hearts of otherwise makeup-savvy women. Applying false lashes is an art that many of us have yet to master. A bad application can literally leave you in tears, ruining your makeup in the process.
But once you learn how to apply false lashes, they can make your eyes look wider and add a dramatic flair to your eye makeup that mascara alone can't provide. And let's not forget that the Kardashians have singlehandedly made fake lashes an everyday accessory. Now, we're not saying you have to break out your falsies for work, but for special occasions? They can really make your eyes pop. (But if you do want to wear them during the day a la Kim, we aren't going to stop you.)
