False eyelashes are the perfect ally for enhancing your eyes in seconds. But to achieve a natural, comfortable, and harmonious result, it's essential to adjust their length properly before applying them. False eyelashes that are too long or poorly suited to the shape of your eye can weigh down your eyes, prick at the inner corners, or even peel off more easily.
In this article, discover the pro tip for adjusting your false eyelashes to perfection , and achieving every application like a professional makeup artist.
1. Why should you adjust the length of false eyelashes?
False eyelashes are generally designed in a standard size , to fit as many face shapes as possible. However, each eye is unique. A fringe that is too long can:
-
Go beyond the outer corner and pull the eyelid
-
Lifting easily due to poor posture
-
Give a “droopy eye” effect instead of raising the gaze
-
Feeling uncomfortable when wearing, especially in the inner corner
Result: even the most beautiful false eyelashes lose all their potential if the size is not right.
2. Step 1: Measure your lashes before cutting them
First of all, place the fringe of false eyelashes on your eyelid , without glue.
-
Position it 1 or 2 mm from the inner corner of the eye , where your natural eyelashes begin.
-
Observe if it protrudes from the outer corner.
-
Mark (visually or with a pencil) the point from which you will need to cut.
Pro tip : Always cut from the outer corner , never from the inner corner, to maintain the natural effect of the curve and tapered length.
3. Step 2: Trim the false eyelashes neatly
Use a small, fine, precise pair of scissors (ideally nail or eyebrow scissors).
-
Always cut little by little , removing 1 or 2 clusters of lashes at a time.
-
Check after each cut by resting the bangs on your eyelid.
-
If you are between two lengths, choose slightly shorter than too long for comfort.
Never cut at an angle , and do not trim the lashes themselves in height (which would give a chopped effect).
4. Step 3: Adapt according to the shape of your eyes
The length adjustment also depends on your eye shape:
Round or bulging eyes
-
Opt for shorter bangs , and avoid letting the ends hang too low.
-
Adjust the length so as not to cover the entire eye.
Elongated eyes
-
You can keep your bangs longer, especially if you like the doe-eye effect.
Drooping eyes
-
Cut slightly shorter at the outer corner to avoid a heavy look.
-
Choose a model with more length in the center or inner corner.
Small eyes
-
Bangs that are too long in width or height can make your eyes look even smaller.
-
Opt for half-fringes or accents , which are more subtle and enhancing.
5. After cutting: prepare for installation
-
Gently bend the bangs with your fingers to soften them
-
Apply a thin line of glue or use your magnetic eyeliner if you have magnetic eyelashes.
-
Apply from the center to the corners, and adjust with eyelash tweezers for precision
