As a Professional Makeup Artist I have a ton of clients that have asked how to apply fake lashes. There are lots of options for lashes. DIY cluster lashes, strip glue lashes, magnetic lashes that click together top and bottom, and Magnetic liner lashes. Depending on if you want daily application or not your choice might vary on which one I might recommend. I started applying magnetic liner lashes pretty regulary and than I started doing DIY lashes. If you want lashes on that you don't have to put on daily segment DIY lashes are awesome but they are a bit harder to apply and there is definitely a learning curve. The easiest lashes to apply for beginners are Magnetic liner lashes in my opinion. I have had many clients try different style lashes and the ones that seem the easiest to learn with are magnetic liner lashes. Here is a video you can watch to apply the lashes

The best way to apply magnetic liner lashes is
- Curl your lashes
- Measure lashes and trim any magnets off if they are too wide
- Apply magnetic liner above lashes.
- If you want to apply mascara do that now (if you do it before liner than they are stiffer and can get in the way when you apply the liner.)
- Wait 1-2 minutes or until liner when touched does not come off on your finger.
- Make sure you lign up the lash to where the lash should start and push into the lashes
- pinch your lash and fake lash together at the base of your lid.
Those are the easiest steps to complete and apply magnetic liner lashes.
A few more tips before you try to use them for a special event try to apply them on a day you aren't going to be stressed and more in a rush you don't want to do them for the first time and give up or have them not go on as easy. If once you get the lashes on and you can feel them in the inner corner of your eye even after pinching them, you can take them off remove one more magnet and redo them.
Hope this helps with the application of magnetic liner lashes. Remember all lashes and liner are not created equal before we started stocking magnetic liner lashes I ordered atleast 30-40 different lashes and liners from different manufactures to find some that I loved didn't irritate my eyes and others and that lasted all day. So if you have tried other brands know that that doesn't mean you can't do them. It might mean you didn't have correct application tips and you might need to trim them (that is a common mistake I have found) or you haven't applied the liner all the way across your lid. But if they don't stay on or irritate your eyes try a different brand there are a ton out there.
