Procedure for Applying Eyelashes.

1.Brush the client’s eyelashes to make sure they are clean and free of foreign matter, such as mascara particle. If the client lashes are straight, they can be curled with an eyelash curler before you apply the artificial lashes.

2. Careful remove the eyelash band from the package.

3.Start with the upper lash. If it too long to fit the curve of the upper eyelid, trim the outside edge, use your finger to bend the lash into a horseshoe shape to make it more flexible so it fits the contour of the eyelid.

4.Feather the lash by nipping into it with the points of your scissors. This creates a more natural look.

5.Apply a thin strip of lash adhesive to the base of the lash and allow a few seconds for it to set

6. Apply the lash. Start with the shorter part of the lash and place it on the inner corner of the ye, toward the nose. Position the rest of the artificial lash as close to the clients own lash as possible. Use the rounded end of a lash liner bush or tweezers to press the lash on. Be very careful and gentle when applying the lashes, if eyeliner is to be used, the line is usually drawn on the eyelid before the lash is applied and retouched when the artificial lashes in place.

7. Apply the lower lash, if desired, lower lash application is optional as it tends t look more unnatural. Trim the lash as necessary and apply adhesive in the same way you did for the upper lash. Place the lash on top of client low lash. Place the short lash towards the center of the eye and the longer lash towards the outer part of the lid.
