3. Pick up with tweezers - Pick up a fake lash strip with the tweezers. (52 sec. )
4. For easier application, bend the lash in the middle. (56 sec. )
5. Apply glue - Dip a toothpick in the glue and apply it along the length of a strip’s base. (59 sec. )
6. Fully coat the base with adhesive, but use it sparingly: too much glue will create a lumpy, unnatural look. (66 sec. )
7. Blow on strip - Blow on the strip for a few seconds until the glue is tacky. (73 sec. )
8. Place strip on eye - Guide the false lash strip to your upper lash line with the tweezers, placing it as close to the base as possible. (79 sec. )
9. Apply the strip first to the center of your lash lineâ€"then smooth it down in both directions. (86 sec. )
10. Allow glue to set - Hold the lash strip in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to set. (93 sec. )
11. Repeat on other lid - Repeat on the other lid, trimming the strip to the right length, and gluing the strip to your lid. (98 sec. )
12. Allow lashes to dry - Allow the lashes to dry for at least 30 seconds. (105 sec. )
13. Apply eyeliner - Apply a thin line of eyeliner to your upper lash line. If you have trouble drawing a straight line, make small dots along the base between your lashes, staying as close to the roots as possible. (109 sec. )
14. Curl lashes - Curl the lashes to fuse the falsies with your natural lashes. (122 sec. )
15. Apply mascara - Apply mascara to both eyes, concentrating at the base of your lash line to further adhere the false and natural lashes together. (127 sec. )

There are various types of bumps and swellings that appear on the eyelids. Some of these can be painful. Others are merely unattractive and some are hardly noticeable.

Hairs grow from follicles and eyelashes grow the same way. It is not unusual for a follicle to become infected. When it does, a red swelling appears on the edge of the lid at the base of the eyelash. The swelling contains a white head of pus. This is called a sty. Styes are extremely painful until they burst. They will burst within a few days. At this time the pain subsides and the eyelash is lost. This usually takes about seven days. However, it is possible to relieve the pain by making the sty burst early. When the inflammation first appears, apply hot compresses until the pus draws to a head. Then simply pull out the eyelash. This action will release the pus. Be sure not to squeeze the sty. Once you have pulled out the eyelash, wash the eyelid carefully to be sure that all traces of pus are removed. Sometimes styes will recur shortly and more than one will develop on the lid at the same time. This is due to the fact that the bacteria that caused the first sty spread to infect other follicles. When this happens you may need to visit your physician for an antibiotic to get rid of the infection.

A chalazion is also a swelling that develops on the edge of the eyelid. Unlike a sty, the chalazion is painless. It is due to a blockage of one of the meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for keeping the margin of the eyelid properly lubricated. Chalazions usually go away on their own in a month or two. However it is possible to get rid of them sooner by gently massaging the lid in the direction of the edge. This helps break up the blockage. But, sometimes large chalazions, about the size of a pea, appear. These will not go away naturally but need to be removed surgically. However, it is not a complicated procedure. The physician simply applies a local anesthetic and then makes an incision and removes the contents of the chalazion. A chalazion can become infected. In this case it will swell and be extremely painful. When this happens, you need to see your physician as soon as possible. Again, the treatment will begin with an incision in the eyelid. But this time the purpose of the incision is to drain off the pus.

Another common lump that sometimes appears on the eyelid is a papilloma. Papillomas are growths of skin that may appear anywhere on the lid margin or the lid itself. They range in color from pink to black. If they are unattractive, a physician can remove them quite easily using a local anesthetic. However, if they are very tiny and not conspicuous, they do not need to be removed unless one so desires.

Yellow patches of fatty material, xanthelasma, sometimes develop under the outer skin of the eyelids. These patches can be removed if they are unattractive. But even if they are removed, they may recur again later on.

Looking for a little extra flair? You could get eyelash extensions, or even eyelash transplants; but applying false eyelashes is a lot easier and you can do it all by yourself.a:2:{s:10:'video_type';s:5:'embed';s:10:'video_meta';a:6:{s:10:'embed_code';s:504:'';s:8:'file_flv';s:50:'http://media.howcast.com/system/videos/337/337.flv';s:9:'org_thumb';s:108:'http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/337/Personal.How_to_Apply_Individual_False_Eyelashes_SD_xxlarge.jpg';s:10:'syndicator';s:11:'howcast.com';s:11:'external_id';s:3:'337';s:4:'text';s:1816:'
