Today, women wear lashes to enhance their eyes – be it for a fancy door every day wear. Actress Kerry added volume and length to her natural lashes with individual lashes. Individual lashes are single lashes that are filled into your natural lashes. These are great to have as they last for two to three weeks, depending on how fast your natural lashes fall out for new ones to grow.

How to:

  • Wash your hands and face, especially the eye area as the skin in sensitive.
  • Remove lashes from the box with tweezers and place on the back of your hand.
  • Pour a small amount of lash glue onto a clean surface to make it easier to apply.
  • Pick a single lash using the tweezers, then dip into the glue.
  • Close your eye and place the eyelash on top of your natural eyelash. Make sure the glue does not touch your eyelid skin.
  • Fill the lashes in from the outer corner to the inner corner of the eye.
  • Open the eye to see if there is any space to fill in more and correct any uneven lashes.
  • Repeat these steps on the other eye.
