To stick on the tufts, decide what effect you need and purchase a set of false eyelashes with tufts of different lengths.

Beautiful arrows will add expressiveness to the look. You can achieve a “doll” effect by sticking long eyelashes in the center of the eye, and shorter bunches closer to the corners.

• curl your eyelashes with forceps;
• make eyeliner with a pencil or liquid eyeliner;
• squeeze out some glue, lower the end of the bundle into it (hold the bundle with tweezers);
• glue the bundle where necessary, along the eyeliner line.
