As a beauty writer, trends come and go, but one that has stood the test of time is the look of long, fluttery lashes. Extensions are notorious for damaging your natural lashes, not to mention expensive, while a lash lift, also costly in my experience, doesn't last. Enter my favourite accessory day, and after five, Glam Lash, false lashes that are natural-looking, reusable, no messy glue, they’re so easy to apply - lash, line, and go.
Check out our tips, and step by step guide and how-to video below.
Glam Lashes by Manicare Glam Xpress, $40
Step one
First, choose your lashes: for during the day I go for the most natural option, my choice, Glam by Manicare Natural 71 Ella Rose. If lengthening your lashes is your goal, try Glam by Manicare Xpress Ruby-Grace Effect Xpress $40. Or to amp it up for a special occasion, try Glam by Manicare Xpress in Aimee-Leight Glam Xpress, $40 the options are endless. You may need to trim the lashes to fit the eye, make sure you trim them at the ends. Then give them a little bend to get them ready to apply.
Step Two
Apply the 2 in 1 intense black eyeliner; on clean lids, this cosmetic grade innovative magnet adhesive is smudge-proof, waterproof, long-lasting and flake-free. To apply, I use the dash-dot-press method; I lay the liner pen flat against the lash liner to get a thin, even line. Apply eyeliner on the top of the eyelid as close to the natural lash line; this is where you want your lashes to sit.
Step three
Give the lashes a little blend, so they are flexible, and then apply the lashes immediately on top of eyeliner & press to adhere - I start by dropping the lash onto the middle of the eye, looking upward, not downward, and then gently press the corners down. You may need to top up the liner or add another layer, especially in the eyes' inner and outer corners, to ensure a long-lasting grip.
