False lashes aren't the easiest to apply and unless you're well practised, things can go very wrong.
However, when they're applied by a talented professional, your lashes can look amazingly long yet completely natural, a dreamy combination.
Aidan Keogh, born and bred in Dublin, trained as a MAC educator before moving to New York where he created a major name for himself, working backstage at Tom Ford and Victoria Beckham in addition to working with some of the world's leading photographers.
Impressive stuff.
This Irish MUA clearly knows his stuff so when he reveals the one product he always uses on clients, beauty fans everywhere pay attention.
Chatting with
Byrdie, Aidan explained that he always uses individual false lashes on clients and tends to stay away from the strip variety.
The application process can be tricky, as falsie fans will know, but thankfully Aidan has some top tips to help.
He uses dark Duo glue instead of white because he hates the pesky white dots that appear at the edge of the lashes with white glue, which actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
He also curls the lashes beforehand and applies mascara (that step might get messy) and the most important part, he doesn't use the same size throughout.
Instead, he uses short lashes at the inner corner and longer ones at the end for that gorgeous, lifted effect.
There you go, go forth and get your lash game on.
