I was the absolute WORST at putting on falsies...especially since I'm asian and have small eyes to work with but I researched and I found that the following does help tons if anyone needs help:
* Make sure you trim your lashes to the correct length (as previously mentioned, trim from the OUTER edge not the inner edge of the lashes!)
* flex the lashes a few times to get it to curve correctly to your lash line
* I curl my lashes beforehand but not TOO much so it gets in the way of my falsies application, just enough so they're not sticking straight down like they usually do! I curl them about halfway so it's not as noticeable having 2 layers of lashes!
* I usually use the back end of one of my brushes and squirt a small amount of glue on the end of the brush, then apply a thin layer to the falsie, putting a little extra on the ends (this is where they un-stick the easiest!)
* I wait for 20 seconds and check for tackiness on the back of my brush by dabbing it with my finger, that way I don't touch the glue on the falsies and lose some of the glue by doing so. it is VERY IMPORTANT to wait for the glue to get tacky!!! my mistake before was being impatient and trying to apply them before the glue was tacky =P~
* I make sure I am looking DOWNWARDS but without shutting my eye completely while applying falsies
* this might be weird but i like using both hands to apply falsies...one to hold each end of the falsie, and hold it so that it is curved similar to my lashline
* I find that applying the MIDDLE of the falsies first works best for me for centering, and I actually apply it directly on my lashes right where it meets my lid - that's right, i apply it on my lashes, not my skin!
* then I apply the outer corner end then the inner corner, and I sort of push down on my lid above my lashline to the falsies so they will stick to my lid as close to the lashline as possible!
* i like to use black liner over & right above the falsies so it sort of hides them & looks more natural.
hope this helps, remember practice makes perfect, and GOOD LUCK!
