There are two types of false eyelashes: full lashes, which add density to the entire lash line, and individual lashes, which can be used to fill in sparse areas or open up the eye area. Full lashes are easier to apply but don't look as natural, individual lashes look natural but require a steady hand to apply.

TO APPLY:
STEP ONE: Apply your make up.
STEP TWO: Add a line of eyeliner above the lash line and blend, this will conceal the lashband once applied.
STEP THREE: Apply the glue to your finger, and lightly pull the lashband through it.  If working with individual lashes, dip the end of the lash in the glue.  Wait until the glue dries and becomes tacky.  NEVER apply the glue directly to your eyelids, as you could glue them together.
STEP FOUR: For full lashes, press the lashbands gently with your fingertips as close to your lash line as possible, working from the inner to the outer corners of the eyes. Hold them firmly in place until the glue sets. DON'T WORRY if a little extra glue is showing, it should dry clear. For individual lashes, work from the outside corner towards your nose.
STEP FIVE: Curl the falsies along with your real lashes.
STEP SIX: Put a slick of mascara on your lower lashes for balance.

TO REMOVE:
STEP ONE: Apply eye make-up remover to a cotton pad and hold it to your lash line for a few seconds so the adhesive softens.
STEP TWO: With tweezers, take hold of the corner of the lash band and pull off gently. For individuals, pull as close to the base of the false lashes as possible.
STEP THREE: Use tweezers to pull off dried glue strips. Wash the falsies in warm, soapy water to remove mascara that may clog.
STEP FOUR: Return the lashes to their original container so they will maintain their shape.
