How to Glue Fake Eyelashes
- First, wash your face and tweezers and make sure your lashes are also clean in order to avoid an eye infection.
- Once everything is clean and dry, you can take your adhesive and brush a thin layer onto the eyelash, never directly onto your eye.
- Hold the lash with the tweezers and bring it to your eye, ever so slightly pressing down.
- Lightly tap your eyelash into place using your fingers while still holding on with the tweezers.
- Wait for the adhesive to get slightly tacky before letting go of the lash with the tweezers or it will fall off or dry in a spot you don't want it to.

Lash glue should never, ever be applied directly onto the eyes because it can get into your eye and the best-case scenario there is that it hurts a lot and the worst-case scenario is that you can damage your vision. Lash glue is safe to use around the eyes, but you should never risk getting it into your eyes.
Yes, Elmer’s Disappearing Purple School Glue Sticks can be used for applying glitter to the skin, but you are likely better off with a cosmetic glitter glue because the glitter will last longer.
Humidity does loosen up KISS Strip Eyelash Adhesive, but it will last the whole day, just be aware of touching your eyes too much as to not accidentally remove them.
Slowly. Start by grabbing the edge of the Karizma Beauty Peel Off Chunky Glitter Glue and once you have a good grip, you can slowly peel it off all in one go.
