Use this simple tip to apply false lashes without ruining your entire life

false lashes

Finally.

As somebody who did not wear false lashes for an extended period of time due to an irresponsibly shaky hand, sticking faux hair over hair that’s already there is something of a new phenomenon for me.

And while I have somewhat mastered the art of not sticking my eyelids together with cheap AF glue from Penney’s, I’m still fairly poor when it comes to lash applying.

The shakes lads, they’re a sickness.

How lucky for me then that Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist has only gone and given his top pro-tip for applying false lashes.

Just what anybody would need to get through a Monday afternoon.

Mario Dedivanovic has been Kim K’s makeup artist for about a decade, so it’s probably fair to say that he’s in the know about how to apply lashes in an assortment of stressful scenarios and also about contouring within an inch of your life.

And according to him, the trick to getting lashes on without a hitch is ridiculously simple – like, so much so that you’d be embarrassed for not having realised it sooner.

Just lean your elbow on a flat surface during application and everything will go a whole lot smoother.

That’s literally it.

Mario told People: 

“When you’re learning to apply them on yourself, especially if you don’t have a steady hand, rest your elbow on some surface in front of you, like a desk.

“It makes a world of a difference.”

Would say it does, yeah.

Cheers.
