How to apply false eyelashes tutorial

Do you wish you have those gloriously long and thick looking eyelashes? Eyelashes have always been a sign of femininity and definition of beauty. If you want longer looking eyelashes the easiest solution is to apply false eyelashes. So, now how to apply false eyelashes? I hope that you'll find the tutorial below useful:)


Various design of fake eyelashes available here



Here's the step by step guide on how to apply false eyelashes:
  1. Choose the type of false eyelashes design that you like

  2. Measure the length of the false eyelash by placing it on your eyes. If it is too long, cut it on the outer side of it (the part with longer lashes). You can use a small scissor to do this.

  3. Apply lash glue onto the base/bend of the false eyelashes. You can use a toothpick to hold a bit of the glue and apply it evenly on the base of the lashes from one end to the other.

  4. You'll need to wait about 30-45 seconds for the glue to be a little bit dry or tacky so that it won't move about after it is placed.
  5. Place the fake eyelashes as close to the lash line as possible. Stick it in the middle first. Then use your fingers or twizzer to push then to the eyelid on both ends.

  6. Use your fingers to press together the fake eyelashes to your eyelash and the lash line so that it'll hold firm

  7. In case if there is a small gap between the lash line and the line where you manage to paste the false lashes, just use eye liner to camouflage the gap ;)

  8. Blink blink ^^* and yes, you're done!!
Also, what a better way on learning how to apply fake eyelashes than to see it yourself. Here's one of my favourite video which guide you through all the process.

How to repair cracked heels?

Cracked heels or heel fissures is not a preety sight especially for those to loves wearing sandals or open sole shoes. The linear cut wounds or cracks on the heel initially affects the top surface level of the skin called epidermis. But, sometimes, this crack or fissures might deepen and causes pain once it cuts though the inner layer of the skin called dermis.

One of the main reasons for cracked heels is because we don't take enough care of it. For example, if it were your face skin, you'll definately take care of it, washing it with facial wash and putting on moisturizer and maybe even serum so that it look fresh and radiant. But your feet, the part of the skin which endure lots of impact while walking or even standing and have to withstand harsh surfaces is always being forgotten.

Our heels usually are dry and thicker compared to other parts of the skin. If excessive feet activity is not balanced with good caring of you feet, the dry skin around the heel will soon crack or peel.



Cracked heel remedy:



  1. Soak you feet with lemon juice or warm soapy water for 10 minutes and use a brush to lightly brush off dirt trapped within the cracked heel.

  2. Use any moisturizer, shortening or hydrogenated vegetable oil and apply it generously on your cracked heel. Then, wear a pair of socks and leave it overnite. Repeat till the cracked heels are repaired. This might take about a week.
The above remedy is easy to do and all you need might already available in your home. But, I would like to recommand a product, which is a specially formulated foot cream if you want a faster result. You can read the product review here:
