Do not try to stick the lashes right after you apply glue to them. In that way the whole process will take a longer time, and can get messy too. So, the best way of doing it is to apply the glue on the falsies, and let it dry for about 30-40 seconds. After that you can stick them on the lashes, and let them dry. As a result, the drying process becomes faster, and the strips do not slide down due to excess glue. Another tip while applying falsies is that you need to look down into a mirror while applying them. The work becomes easier that way.

Clumpy mascara spoils all the effort that you put into your make-up. So, the ideal way of not letting that happen is to maintain a liquid state of the mascara. To make sure of that, you can pour in a little amount of saline water into the mascara bottle, and stir it with an application brush to smoothen the solution again.

6: Let the eyeshadow become your eyeliner

When you do not have an eyeliner, believe it or not, but your eyeshadow can do the trick for you. you just have to dip an angle brush in setting spray or plain water, and they with it pull out some color from the eyeshadow palette.
