Everybody loves a hack, don’t they? Well, here at Koko we are exactly the same and want to share with you some of the most fantastic eyelash hacks around at the moment, some even going viral that will make you think twice about expensive eyelash extensions. Why pay a fortune and take hours from your precious schedule when you can achieve the same look for a fraction of the cost and time.
Hack one –
Section your lashes – Many of us are put off strip lashes as we simply cannot get them right as we struggle to get the strip to sit seamlessly along the lash line. Well, some genius has devised that why not cut the strip into sections. This allows you to place the lash section much more accurately along the eyelash line. We recommend that you start at the inner corner and work outwards to give a really beautiful and accurate finish.
Next up –
So, let’s talk about lash glue, many of us have had the nightmare of messy lash glue sticking everything but the lash to our lid and where we want it. Why not apply the glue directly to the lash line rather than to the lash itself, this way it is already exactly where you need it! Clever hey! This results in less mess and is also time saving. We love this one.
Curve creation –
Obviously, our eyes have a natural curve line and sometimes the struggle with strip eyelashes is that it’s not always easy to get the lash to follow this curve. Here’s a simple yet useful hack to help. Wrap the lash around a large make up brush handle before you apply them. This then will reshape the lash to a curve. Just wrap the lash band around the handle, you only need to do this for a few seconds and you will see the lash curve appear in the band making it much easier for you to apply to the curve of the eye.
Use eyeliner – Simple yet really effective is to put the outer corner of the eyelashes at a slightly higher angle than the lash line and use eyeliner to fill the gap this gives a gorgeous, lifted lash look that is ultra glamorous.
