Applying Eyelashes

It is easiest to apply eyelashes while the eyes are out. Otherwise, glue will most likely get on the eyes and make them dull.

Apply a thin layer of Gem Tac glue on the edge of the eyelids using a pointed q-tip (a tooth-pick or a manicure stick works well too).

Apply the eyelash. I use an exacto knife to push the eyelash onto the glue. You could also use a toothpick dipped in oil. The oil would keep the toothpick from sticking to the eyelash.

Apply eyelashes to both eyes. You can also apply bottom lashes if you'd like. Then give it plenty of time to dry. The Gem Tac glue will dry clear and it is also water-resistant which makes it nice.

If the eyelashes you used are too long, you can trim them using cuticle clippers.
