🔧 What You’ll Need:

Poshmellow false eyelashes (customer faves: Bare Naturelle Sassy, Bare Naturelle D'Amore)
Lash glue (we recommend clear for a clean look or black for added drama)
Tweezers or a lash applicator
Mirror & good lighting
Small scissors (optional)

💡 How to Apply False Lashes: Step-by-Step

1. Measure & Trim the Lashes

Gently remove the lash from the tray and place it along your lash line. If it’s too long, trim the outer corner to better fit your eye shape. This ensures comfort and a natural look.

2. Apply Lash Glue Like a Pro

Apply a thin, even layer of lash adhesive to the band. Let it sit for 30–45 seconds until tacky. Don’t skip this step—waiting helps your lashes stay put longer!

3. Apply the Lashes

Using tweezers, place the lash strip on your lash line starting from the center, then adjust the inner and outer corners. Press down gently to secure.

4. Blend and Finish

Once the glue is dry, touch up with eyeliner to hide the band and blend with your natural lashes using a light coat of mascara (optional).

💫 Pro Tips for First-Timers:

Always trim from the outer edge to maintain the lash shape
Store lashes back in the tray after use to preserve their curve
Reuse your Poshmellow lashes up to 15+ times with proper care!
