If you’re completely new to false lashes and have never used one before, this might be the most confusing part for you. Not to worry, we’ve listed below all the things you should consider before purchasing a set of false lashes 

1. First of all, what kind of lash style are you looking for? Think about the look you want to achieve. Do you want to show up looking Daring and bold, or Dramatic, or Natural and soft? Once you’ve decided on that, browse through our collection here, where you’ll find a variety of false eyelash styles that you can choose from. 
2. If you're still unsure, think about this: What kind of event are you planning to wear your falsies to? There is not a reason to worry since you will find a pair of false eyelashes suitable for any event or look! If you have to show up to different events throughout the day, and you're unsure about buying different sets, then we would highly recommend Eye Candy, the perfect pair for a whole day of different events. Eye Candy is versatile and stackable, helping you increase the intensity of your look depending on the event you're going to attend or the makeup you'd like to wear.
3. Still confused? Let’s narrow it down to makeup looks:

• If you’re going for a bold look, we recommend investing in a set of dramatic, voluminous and lengthy false lashes, such as “Sweet Talk”, and let your eyes do all the talking. 
• Do you want a natural, soft look? Then we would recommend “Beach Time”, these are wispy false lashes that will blend in with your natural eyelashes, enhancing your already beautiful features, making you look effortlessly glamorous.

HOW TO APPLY THE FALSE LASHES ?

1. Before you apply your false eyelashes, make sure that the eyelash adhesive that you’re planning to use is appropriate for your skin and eyes, so as to avoid getting allergic reactions.
2. Usually, eyelash adhesives (i.e. lash glues) come with instructions. Read them carefully and follow it for the best results. 
3. Wait for the eyelash glue to dry a bit before applying your falsies. 
4. You can bend the false lashes lightly, just to give it some flexibility, so that it seamlessly glues down along the band of your natural eyelashes.
5. It's always good to press down lightly on your lashes altogether, just to make sure that the false eyelashes that you’ve applied are properly attached to your natural eyelashes.

And you’re done! Now you’re all ready to be the belle at the ball, whether it’s a ball that you're going to or just a brunch date with your girlfriends.

HOW TO GO ABOUT REMOVAL AND PROPER CARE ?

You’re home and tired, it is the end of the day, and you might feel like just ripping off your falsies so that you can go to bed as fast as possible. We totally understand, who wouldn't want to do that? 

While this can be the easiest and fastest thing to do, we still recommend that you take off your makeup and double cleanse your face, preferably with an oil-based cleanser first to remove your makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser, that will leave your face feeling squeaky clean. 

This includes removing your eye-makeup carefully and with a makeup remover that is not harsh on your eyelids. If you’ve applied mascara, it can be easily removed with either lukewarm water or coconut oil. 

After removing all your makeup, it’s time to remove your false eyelashes. You can easily remove them with your hands by gently pulling them off from your eyelash band. 

Now we have to think about proper storage. Don’t we all find ourselves turning the house upside down, trying to find the other false lash, with just one false lash in our hands? We highly recommend taking off your false eyelashes properly, cleaning them and storing them in their original packaging so that you don't lose them!
