A beginner’s guide to the mysterious world of fake eyelashes.

How many times have we secretly envied perfect eye makeup looks? Yep, we have lost count of it. Want to know the secret behind those flawless eye looks? I mean apart from the MUA’s eyeshadow skills? It is simply fake eyelashes!  

Unlike some common myths, false lashes can benefit your natural lashes. Mascaras cause your eyelashes to become thin and brittle. Falsies help reduce pressure on your lashes thus giving them time to grow at their own pace. You simply need to ensure that you apply your lashes correctly and voila! No one can stop you from looking like a million bucks!

If you are a beginner, it is important to be mindful of a few things before buying. Continue reading and then take your pick from the wide variety of falsies at Purplle, India’s one-stop-shop for makeup essentials.

Why invest in fake eyelashes?

Firstly, they elevate your look in a matter of minutes. On days when you don't want to do heavy makeup, false eyelashes will save your look! Skip your foundation and concealer for a day and sport a natural look with those falsies. You will still look fabulous!

They add a definition to your lash line thus attracting more attention to your eyes. If you have scarce eyelashes, falsies add length and volume to them.

Working women often experience the morning rush hours. You need to put your look together in a shorter amount of time. Give those falsies a try and watch your look change instantly!

Last but not least, falsies are easy to wear and simply take 2-3 minutes. Don't want your eyes to look tired? Wear fake lashes and look pretty as usual!

Myths about false lashes decoded

Myth1: Falsies are bad for our natural lashes.

Fact: They are far better than mascaras that contain chemicals that harm the lashes and make them brittle. Falsies reduce tension and help your natural lashes to grow.

Myth2: Fake lashes make you look fake.

Fact: It all depends on what type of lashes you are opting for and your eye shape. They will look as natural or fake as you would like them to. Opt for single lashes if you do not prefer dramatic looks.

Myth3: False lashes can be easily worn by everyone.

Fact: Well, it is true to a large extent. However, if you have sensitive eyes, it is important to be careful while applying them. Also, make sure to wash your lashes after every use with gentle baby shampoo to get rid of dirt and muck. 

Myth4: Fake lashes are for the rich and famous

Fact: Yes, we often see celebrities using them. But, nowadays they are not limited to the elite. More and more women have been embracing falsies as they come cheap and give instant results.

Now some of you might be wondering, “Benefits are okay. But what about actually wearing them?” Well, we have got you sorted there too. Let's take a look.

How to wear fake eyelashes like a pro

1. First prep your natural eyelashes. Put on eyeshadow and eyeliner of your choice and curl your lashes normally with the help of an eyelash curler.

2. Take a tweezer and hold your lashes. With the help of a cotton swab, apply a thin line of glue to the lash band. NEVER squeeze out the glue directly on the lash band. A little pro-tip here- opt for dark glue preferably.

3. Now here is the most important step. Dry the glue for about 30 seconds so that your fake lashes do not slide. Experts recommend waving your falsies for a bit after applying glue.

4. Hold the false eyelashes with tweezers and place them against your natural lash line. Place right where your eyeliner is. Press them into the lash line to attach them.

5. Apply black eyeliner to cover the little gaps. Apply a bit of mascara and curl them too to blend them in with your natural lashes and you are done!
