The marmite of the beauty world, false lashes garner either fear or joy and little in-between. But for those in the former camp, rest assured that once you get the knack, they’re so much easier thank you think. And thanks to a new wave of subtle strip lashes hitting the shelves, they needn’t look OTT. 'Exaggerating what one’s natural eyelashes do, false lashes add instant emphasis and help frame not only the eye but the face too,' explains pro make-up artist Andrew Gallimore. The result? A speedy pick-me-up that, once in place, requires zero maintenance to see you through the long haul. 'Anyone can wear false lashes,' assures Andrew, 'you just need to find the right shape, length and fullness to suit you.' The key: 'Make sure the length of the strip is the same size as your own lash-line and don’t choose a thickness that will overpower your eyes.'
'Don’t be afraid to take it off and start again until you get it right,' adds Andrew. 'A badly positioned false lash can not only look bad, but also become irritating, painful even.'
