How to Apply Fake Lashes

Fake lashes lift or poke when the band is too long, the glue is too wet, or placement starts too far into the inner corner. Trim, wait, and press the band close to the lashes.

Makeup

Cream Blush Lifts Foundation

Cream blush lifts foundation when it is rubbed on top of an unset or powdery base. Tapping thin layers keeps cheek color from disturbing coverage.

Makeup
