Hello Cuties~
Today's post is a useful one, "makeup tips & hacks you've learned"!
I can't even remember where I heard or saw this trick, but it's helped me tremendously. When applying eyelashes, I now use two layers. Let the first layer dry completely, and let the second layer get "tacky" or "sticky" before finally applying. The person explained it in a way I related to a lot. They mentioned how older lashes tend to stick better versus brand new lashes. It's usually because there's a layer of old glue that's left behind anyway (gross I know but admit it, you've reused some lashes that weren't cleaned beforehand. . . ) We do want to clean our lashes though; even if that means just peeling off the old glue. We don't want too much glue caked onto the lash strip.
Another tip I've found that works for me is using an adhesive eyeliner. The eyeliner glue in combination with the two layers of actual eyelash glue keeps my lashes in place ALL day. It may seem like a lot to do or a lot of glue on your eyes, but as long as you take the time to properly remove your falsies, everything is good.
Speaking of removing lashes, a good tip is to use liquid makeup remover on a Q-tip. Saturate the Q-tip and run it over the lash band on your eye until it loosens up all the glue. And your falsies should slide off like butter!
The final step to your makeup is setting spray. I then like to use a beauty blender to blot (lightly pat) areas I used setting powder. It doesn't happen often, but some sprays and powders behave strangely together. The set powder can become "spotted". You can see where the droplets of setting spray have dried. By using a beauty blender, you prevent this and give the face a flawless dry-down.

Ooooh yes I've heard loads of good things about using adhesive eyeliner!!!! I'm tempted to try it myself .... And that two layer technique is genius!!1
ReplyDeleteThe liner I use is from Nekoyanin, I saw her brand on tiktok and decided to give her a try. I've been loving it so far! And yesss, I feel like I learned that trick from Jackie Aina's youtube channel (but i can't remember 100% lol)... but it works!
