Top tips on how to apply fake eyelashes
Fake eye lashes are fab, fun and flirty. Lucky Cheryl has a Make Up Artist on hand at all times to master the art of fake eyelash application. However, for the rest of us here's a guide on how to apply false eyelashes like a master ...

1) Your false eyelashes are the cherry on top of the cake, so apply last. For smoky eyes like Cheryl's try our Bedazzled Eyeshadow Collection in Spellbound, sweeping the Eclipse shade (metallic blue) all over the eye and then blending Midnight (metallic purple) into the eye crease and below the bottom lash line. Blending is key so pick a good quality eyeshadow brush like our Eyeshadow Blender & Applicator and blend like a pro.

2) Gently curl the eyelashes with a pair of Eyelash Curlers (not too much - just a couple of squeezes is perfect) and then apply a coating of your favourite mascara. We like Precision Lash Mascara for this look.

3) Now it's time to bring out the fake lashes. If the lashes are a little too long, you may need to trim them slightly. Measure them along the length of your eyelid and they should fit comfortably from the outer corner to the inner corner - any excess can be trimmed with a regular pair of scissors.

4) Apply a little of the adhesive to the lash band (the adhesive that comes with VIE at home's False Eye Lash Kit dries completely see through so no worries about white glue shinging through!) Allow this to go a little tacky, which takes approx 10-15 seconds.

5) Press the lash firmly along your natural lash line and hold for approx 10 seconds until dry. Don't panic if you don't get it right first time, you can gently push the lash down with your finger whilst the glue is drying so it sits close to your lash line.

6) Even the professionals are known to have little slips when applying false eyelashes ... so here's a top trade secret. Take a liquid eyeliner and use to fill in any spaces between the lash and the eyeline. Used by top Make Up artists as a way to 'fill in the gaps' this is a must have for the fake lash novice.

7) That's it - get set to flutter those lashes girls ...
