How to apply false lashes UNDERNEATH -- for beginners

[@desert_netta]

This really worked. Thank you. I kept trying with Falscara, but I hated the feeling and look of glue all over my lashes. This worked much better, soft and fluffy, and the Demi Wispies look much better than the too-long clusters that come with Falscara. I'm 52 and feeling flirty with my lashes on. I didn't need any eyeshadow with this look, instant eye lift. POW! Thanks Mindy!

[@mindyoverfifty]

I tried Falscara too. But the glue was difficult to get off my lashes, which meant I had to keep using micellar water, or cream eye makeup remover, etc! And all that rubbing made me lose lashes. The Duo glue is much, much better I think!! Thanks for watching, and for letting me know you tried it! It makes my heart happy! ❤️

[@desert_netta]

@@mindyoverfifty My heart is happy too! Woke up with lashes this morning. I sleep on my side and use a silky sleep mask, and they were perfect this morning. Please share, what remover do you like when it's time to remove? I have the kind that you need to shake to mix, Target brand, and the Falscara remover.

[@mindyoverfifty]

@@desert_netta I use Neutrogena Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. It’s in a blue tube. If you can’t find it at your local store you can get it on Amazon. It’s hydrating. First I pull off the lashes (they come off so easy), then massage the Neutrogena remover lotion in, and wipe with a tissue. If any gunk is still remaining, I use some micellar water on a cotton round to remove. Then wash my face & real lashes.

[@chadandwendy1]

I loved that technique. I need to try it.

[@mindyoverfifty]

Please try it and let me know how it went!!

[@staceypalmer9606]

What a clever idea, I would never have thought to, cut the lash into sections, thank you for sharing .

[@mindyoverfifty]

Those tiny sections are what makes them easy to apply! And if you use inexpensive lashes, they work as well as pricier ones, and you don't feel so bad about cutting them! Glad I could help!

[@lesleylang2990]

Thank you so much..I had just about given up. Now you have given me the inspiration to try again with the lashes !!!

[@mindyoverfifty]

I’m so glad to hear it. You know, I keep trying to wear the full strip lash, still! But it never looks natural-so I just go back to my “cut it in three & place it underneath” method…it never fails me!! Let me know how it works for you!

[@wendycriss8619]

Can't wait to try this technique. I just tried putting on the adhesive eyelashes and failed at that too! My tweezers stuck to the adhesive & I couldnt get them off without destroying the eyelash. I must have 50 pairs of false eyelashes and thought maybe if I learned a new technique it would be easier to get them on and that's how I came across you. Thank you for being over 50, you look fabulous and thank you for talking in a slow calm voice. I really have the confidence to do it now using the under lash technique. 50 pairs of eyelashes in the house and not one drop of glue. What's a woman over 50 to do!!

[@mindyoverfifty]

I tried those too!! Same! Fail!!! Try my method! I wear lashes all the time now- it’s SO EASY!!

[@mindyoverfifty]

And remember you’re gluing them to your real lashes, not skin. So don’t use Industrial strength eyelash glue-it is not necessary! Duo glue works well for me and my real lashes don’t come off with the fake ones when I remove them!

[@lauracoggs2097]

Putting them underneath is so much easier! Thank you!

[@mindyoverfifty]

Did you have any trouble at all? How long did they last for you?

[@tracyash5347]

WOW 😊 This technique is amazing and took way less time, even on my first try. Looks great and very natural! Also can’t feel them as much as when glued above my lashes! Thank you Mindy

[@mindyoverfifty]

So glad it worked well for you!! Love hearing this!!

[@kathleencupido2649]

Definitely going to do this method. Beautiful thankyou for sharing

[@mindyoverfifty]

Please do! I find that the little clumps are much easier to place than the entire lash band (I end up with glue all over the place)!! Let me know how it works for you!

[@josiezafra-hh7he]

I'm going to try this today..they really look great..

[@mindyoverfifty]

Please let me know how they work out for you!

Amazing technique…It seems like I have been practicing for years without good results. Very Frustrating… Now I have tried several techniques and this one works. Thank you.

[@mindyoverfifty]

I'm so glad it was helpful! It's the only technique that worked for me as well!

[@rmsmith8098]

Excellent tutorial. I have been ready to give it up. I will try again. I am 57 and my lashes are getting thinner, as well as lighter. I need help for sure.

[@mindyoverfifty]

I hope you will definitely try this. It’s easy, inexpensive, and lashes bring a whole new dimension to your makeup look!

[@aliciadiaz3912]

I’m trying it

[@mindyoverfifty]

Yay!!!! Let me know how it went!! I’m cheering you on!! 👏👏👏👏

[@Bunn223]

Thank you! I’ve never cut mine in thirds or put them underneath my lashes. I’m going to try this! Any tips for removing them and the glue residue?

[@mindyoverfifty]

I use Duo glue, and they come right off, no problem - just pull them right off. I use Neutragena eye makeup remover, in a blue tube. After that, if you have any residual stickiness on your lashes, I use an eye makeup remover that has some oil in it. Please let me know how it works out with you!

[@lisaviviano1568]

Love your eyeshadows too. Can you share with us what you used?

[@mindyoverfifty]

Sure, Lisa! I believe in this video: Basic- all over Filly - outer corner Bend and Snap- lid Sabrina- tear duct and brow bone Salem- liner

[@TennesseeKim1]

I’ll be trying this again. I tried it with lash trios and it was pretty but I like the quickness of strip lashes better. Good job!

[@mindyoverfifty]

Hi Kim! I could never get that whole band tacked down where it looked natural and didn't have glue all over my lashes!! The lash "trios" worked well for me but the kits get to be expensive. That's how I started using the drugstore brands and cutting them myself. You gotta do what works for you! Thanks so much for commenting, and for the follow! I appreciate it!

[@gtiernan1]

Way too much work, though! There are several lash companies now that have the pop-on lashes. They are pre-glued, so you just take the individual clusters out of the package and put them on underneath your lashes. No fuss, no muss and are very easy to apply. Silly George, Moxie, Lashify are 3 places that I've seen them so far. I use the Silly George lashes and they're great. Thanks for the demo!

[@robi92100]

How do you take off your mascara without damaging or removing the false lashes?

[@mindyoverfifty]

I don’t use mascara on my top lashes, I only wear the false lashes on them. They’re dark enough that I don’t need mascara on them. I only use mascara on my bottom lashes, and remove it with Nutrogena eye makeup remover.

[@mindyoverfifty]

And I find that, with the falsies being glued underneath my top lashes, that they don’t get moved around, etc. I use micellar water and a-tips or cotton rounds to remove my eye makeup, followed by regular cleansing of my face. I literally can leave these lashes on for 2-3 weeks! But once in a while I need to pull a piece of the falsie lash off, remove glue, place another bead of glue on it, and stick it back on. So easy!

[@robi92100]

@@mindyoverfifty thank you! You did make it look easy - I havent worn mascara in quite awhile because my eyelashes kept falling out but with this I wouldn’t have to. Thank you so much for all your informative videos.

[@socialbutterfly4146]

For 3-5 days. What is the upkeep? Can you wash your face as long as you don’t scrub your eyes?

[@mindyoverfifty]

Yes. Absolutely. You can get them wet, the glue holds. But I don’t disturb the lashes themselves! Let me know how it worked for you!!

[@nancychacon5176]

Omg what a beautiful lady!

[@mindyoverfifty]

Awww, what a sweet compliment! Thank you, Nancy!!

[@ndorikeenyinkeowo7773]

Hi. Just subscribed to your channel. How do you keep it on for 2 weeks. Don’t you wash your face? I really need help with this question. Thanks

[@mindyoverfifty]

Hi! I remove my eye makeup with remover or micellar water and a disposable cotton round and/or q-tips. When I wash my face, I don’t touch the lashes with soap. When my eyes are closed, the edges of the eyelash strips are covered by my eyelids, so they don’t get disturbed! If I get the lashes wet, I just dry them very carefully. Once in a while, one of the lash sections will loosen. I just remove that section, remove the glue from it, apply new glue, and stick it back on. So easy to “maintain” them!

3 to 5 DAYS?!?! By the end of the day I’m ready to take them bad boys off!!😂

[@mindyoverfifty]

Really? Do you place them underneath? And is it a big, fluffy, heavy lash? Because I only use Demi Wispies, and I literally cannot even tell that I have them on!

[@lesliestager5826]

Question: does the glue damage your real lashes?

[@mindyoverfifty]

Hi Leslie! No. I use Duo Glue, it's very gentle. When I remove the lashes, they come right off and I never lose any of my own lashes.

[@lesliestager5826]

@@mindyoverfifty Thank you! Very helpful! Love your channel, btw. 🙂

[@lesliestager5826]

another quick question, Mindy: do you have mascara on your lashes before you attach the false ones? Also, I am going to try your brand of lashes - the ones I have purchased so far have been too long and they look awful. They hit my eyebrow and look really horrid. I guess I don't have enough lid real estate! LOL. What to do?

[@mindyoverfifty]

Once in a while, I do put mascara on first. But if I do, my false lashes don’t seem to stay on as long. And since I wash my face, but not my lashes, I feel like with mascara on them, they get “gunky” faster. My fave are Demi Wispies. They’re very light and the inside corner is shorter than the outside corner. And I always have to trim off the outside corners-the lash strip is always too long. I’m like you, I can’t wear those really long or heavy styles. They look so unnatural and they’re uncomfortable. Try the demi’s, I bet you’ll love them!

[@lesliestager5826]

@@mindyoverfifty Thanks, I will try the wispies. I rewatched the video and haven't had time to get to Target to get the wispies. I got some other ones that I thought might work, but again, they are too long! Ugh! I really appreciate your swift responses, too! I really like that you are doing these videos. I watch another makeup artist - Lisa Monique, and she is good too - but I relate to you just a wee bit better since we are closer in age. I'm struggling to figure out how to wear eye shadow with my wrinkly eyes. I will watch your videos on this too. Your makeup is gorgeous. Once I can try Seint, I will, but right now, I can't spend the $$. I do like creme foundation and use the cover girl version right now - aqua something or other. Anyway, I'm really loving your channel and vids. Keep going! Thank you!

[@mindyoverfifty]

@@lesliestager5826 aww, that’s such a nice compliment! Older women are who I most want to help! Marketing kinda forgets us when we’re over 50… You can do Seint cosmetics in stages! I encourage ladies to start with the basic palette- 4 (a main, a brightener, a contour, and either a bronzer or a lip/cheek). With a palette 4 and one brush it will run around $100. You can use your existing blush, lipstick, eye shadows, etc. until they run out, then replace them with Seint a little at a time! Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate you!

[@mariavirgo1647]

Me all day ready to give up bc I have hooded eyes 👀👁️🤔

[@moniquemilne4956]

Maria, if you have a hooded eye, placement of lashes is key. You don’t want to go all the way to the end of the outer eye that will make your eye droop more. Stop short of the end and it will give your eye a lift

[@mariavirgo1647]

@@moniquemilne4956 thank you 👁️😜

[@mariavirgo1647]

Any advice for someone who wears reading glasses bc without them it's hard to apply the lashes 👁️🙄

[@mindyoverfifty]

Maria, have you seen the glasses you can get on the Internet that each side flips down for you to do that eye, while the lens for the other eye stays intact, so you can see with that eye?

[@pristidactylus]

Thanks for doing this video. I ripped out a patch of my lashes on the right eye with an eyelash curler a few months back and have resorted to using false lashes. I have been trying the underneath technique for the past month as the "normal" method was hopeless as I have no coordination. I was that kid in kindergarten that had the craft glue taken away. Applying the lashes as a single twisty strip has resulted in glue everywhere - my tweezers, lashes, vanity, my fingers, even my bangs 😆 I will try cutting the strip into sections as you did in the video so I have more control.

[@mindyoverfifty]

Oh my goodness! I know what you mean about coordination; everyone else makes it look so easy to just pop on that whole strip lash. I could not get it on for the life of me. Glue everywhere. And frustration that wouldn’t let up. The small sections are so much easier to place! And the drugstore brands are inexpensive. You don’t feel guilty cutting them in 3 pieces! Let me know how it goes, won’t you?

[@angelabalken6223]

I just had this happen to me a couple of days ago. Do the lashes grow back quickly?
