MONO TO DOUBLE: WITH FALSE EYELASHES

Growing up, I had always wanted double eyelids.  When I was 14, I started experimenting with products, eg. eyelid glue, eyelid tape/fibers, even CLIPS!  I'll admit, I was being very optimistic when I purchased the clips knowing full well that they would not work.  Clearly I was desperate lol.

So fast forward, I've finally found the method that works for me, that being false eyelashes!  Definitely cheaper than going under the knife, and at least then, it gives me the option to play with different looks! ^-^

This post is just going to be a quick pictorial/explanation on how I managed to achieve double eyelids with falsies.  Please mind the poor quality photo's, I had to use my sister's laptop camera because we left the DSLR at my mom's.

Mono eyelid / Double eyelid

I usually conceal my under eyes after applying eye makeup.    

I prefer to line my eyes before and after my eye shadow because it tells me how far to blend out my eye shadow.

^ Photoshopped an example LOL, well tried to anyways >_>

I applied the dark burgundy eye shadow on my outter V, concentrating on the area closest to where I applied eyeliner, blending upwards, still keeping the V formation.

KEY PART!!!!

I curl my eyelashes and then apply the glue directly onto my eyelid, letting it dry before I stick on my falsies, I find it helps keeps them from slipping around when I'm trying to push up the crease.  

**TIP** 

Eyelid glue plays a huge role in this step, because it stays tacky even after it "dries".  Really make's maneuvering your falsies 10000x easier!   I'm using Koji Eye talk (pink package).

 I glue the falsies a little above my lash line, letting the rest of the glue dry clear (or until its tacky).  Then using clean fingers, I push the center of the falsies spine from underneath, upwards.  After achieving the desired crease, I go back over the top with a little bit of glue, seeing where the crease might need more "support".

This step in general actually takes a lot of time and patience, you're basically pushing the falsies spine around until you get your desired look. 

The final look!  Meowww n_n
