How to Trim and Apply False Lashes Like a Pro

Let’s be honest—false lashes can be a little intimidating, especially if you’re new to them. If you’ve ever struggled with trimming them just right, figuring out where they should sit, or getting them to stay put, we’ve got you. We’re here to share the best tips for how to trim and apply your lashes so they look natural, feel comfortable, and save you from frustration.

Step 1: Give Your Lashes a Little Flex

Even though our lashes are made from super soft synthetic silk, they can be stiff straight out of the package, which makes them harder to apply. Before you do anything else, try this:

• Gently remove your lashes from the tray and bend them into a soft “U” shape.
  
  

• This helps them conform to your eye shape, making it easier to see if they’re too long and ensuring they don’t pop up at the corners when you apply them.
  
  

• Rock the lash band back and forth a few times to soften them up.
  
  

This simple step will make a huge difference in how well your lashes fit and adhere. It also makes them more flexible, so you won’t have to fight with them during application.

Step 2: Trim the Right Way

Not all lashes are going to fit your eye perfectly right away. If they’re too long, you’ll need to trim them—but always from the outer corner, not the inner one.

Here’s why:

• The outer section is usually longer and more dramatic, so trimming from there won’t mess up the natural shape of the lash.
  
  

• The inner corners of your eyes are more sensitive, and you don’t want any extra edges poking or irritating them.
  
  

Use a small pair of scissors and trim a little at a time. It’s best to start small because you can always trim more, but you can’t add it back once it’s gone. Taking it step by step ensures you don’t end up trimming too much and ruining the look of your lashes.

Step 3: Placement Made Easy with the Pinky Trick

Getting your lashes in the right spot is half the battle. Here’s a simple trick to help:

• Use your pinky as a guide for placement.
  
  

• Place your pinky vertically at the inner corner of your eye, right where your nose bridge begins.
  
  

• The other side of your pinky marks the spot where the inner corner of your lash should start.
  
  

This ensures the lashes are placed naturally, without any discomfort. You won’t have to worry about the lashes sitting too close to your inner corner, which could cause irritation. Plus, this method helps create a more balanced look that aligns with the natural shape of your eye.

Bonus Tip: Ditch the Glue, Use Limitless Lash Liner

If traditional lash glue stresses you out, you’re going to love this alternative. Instead of dealing with sticky glue or finicky magnets, try our Limitless Lash Liner in Jet Black or Clear. It’s a game-changer for lash application:

• No mess—no glue dripping everywhere or magnets to worry about.
  
  

• No waiting for glue to dry, which saves time during your beauty routine.
  
  

• Vegan & latex-free, making it a safer choice for sensitive eyes.
  
  

Just apply the liner like you would regular eyeliner, place your lash directly on top, anchor the middle first, and then adjust the corners for a perfect fit. The liner will hold your lashes in place without the need for messy glue, and the best part? No irritation or hassle!
