How to apply False Eyelashes + Review of Eldora H151 Lashes.

I get asked this many times so I thought I'll do a short blog post on how to apply false eyelashes as well as a review on the Eldora eyelashes I used.
I'm quite a fan of Eldora Lashes but if I don't like something I will tell you all. I hate it when I spend money on something and end up regretting it. We don't all have money to chuck away :( 

Eldora False Eyelashes in H151

As far as the lashes go.... I really do love them. Thier my new favourite and you'll see why. I've been lookin g for lashes like these for like ever. It's heavy at the base of the lash strip and  sparse at the tips. Because of it's uneven lengths, it allows your natrual lashes to blend effortlessly. Eldora have great packaging and each lash comes with a tube of lash adhesive. The eyelashes cost £4.25 and free UK delivery! However these lashes were kindly sent to me to review. The lashes are re-usable but you have to take care of the lash after each wear :)

Right.... how to apply false lashes.
First you want to carefully peel away the lashes from the tray. To do this I usually pick at one end and pull away.
You then want to place it on your lash line WITHOUT any glue so that you can measure and check if you need to cut the length. With my deep smokey eye look I didn't have to cut the length, however when I wore the lashes with a pin up look I had to cut the strip a little at the end. I think this is because the lash strip was more apparent. 
When appling the glue things can get messy. So the best way to handle the lash is to hold it with a pair of tweezers. (See below) Squeeze down gently on the centre of the lash with the strip facing upwards.
Sqeeze out an even amount of glue along the lash strip, concentrating the glue more on the ends of the strip. Wait around 30-50secs for the glue to become tacky. If you apply the lashes straight away the glue will go all over you natural lashes and your eyelid. Although the glue dries clear it still leaves a shine behind. With the glue being tacky you can prevent the glue going all over the lid and ruining your eyeshadow and the lashes sit better and quicker on your lash line. Trust me it makes it a billion times easier to apply.  

Try not to get glue onto the lash like me.. if you do jus dab it off.

Then it's just a case of you fiddling around and making sure it's placed as close the the lash line as possible. Remember, while the glue is still apparent, it means your able to still fiddle and move the lash around. Then to cover up the strip, which isn't to visible you need to go over you eyeliner.

It was  quite hard taking pictures whilst applying the Lashes but here's how I hold and place them onto my lash line.

Oh a tip, apply your eyeliner before you apply your false lashes but be sure to use a pencil, shadow or gel liner. I say this because with liquid liner you have to make sure its fully dry, but even then the glue doesn't seem to sit well. I'm not sure why and this can ruin the whole application. So apply liquid liner AFTER you've applied your falsies.
