When done right, false lashes are a beauty game-changer. They can add instant volume, length or thickness (or all three), and can instantly take a makeup look from day to night. Done wrong? Well, that’s a whole different story. Let’s just say that a lash hanging off your eye halfway through your night is never a good look. Nor are clumps of glue stuck to your natural lashes. Ouch.
But before you give up on falsies, this viral Tiktok hack by beauty creator Adrián Ríos means you’ll never have to Google “how to apply false lashes” again. As simple as using an eyelash curler and strategically placed glue (and only a smidge of it) it perfectly places and secures false lashes in seconds. Don’t believe us? Just click play below.

Told you. So, if you want to finally master the art of false lashes, take a leaf out of Adrián’s page to bag yourself big, beautiful lashes minus the stress. You’ll never look back.
Step 1: Grab your preferred eyelash strip. For beginners we suggest the Tête À Tête lashes by Sweed Lahses for a little drama that still looks natural. To blend them seamlessly into your natural lashes, place the strip towards the left or right end of the lash curler, depending on which eye you are placing them on. If you need to cut down the size of the false lashes to fit your eye shape, the Lola’s Lashes Lash Scissors will help you easily trim them to your desired shape and length.
Step 2: If your natural lashes are straight then curl them before starting the process. The Kevyn Aucoin Eyelash Curler is an industry staple for a reason. Designed to fit all eye shapes and with a red rubber pad that makes it easy to spot any missed lashes, it delivers the perfect natural lift and curl, every time.
Step 3: Place a small amount of your preferred brow wax on your lash curler to help to keep the lash in place. You can’t go wrong with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze. Fit your false lashes onto your lash curler and make sure your lashes are facing outwards when placed on the lash curler.
Step 4: Apply the smallest amount of glue under your natural lashes (not your lash line), and leave for a minute for the glue to become a little sticky. We love Huda Beauty’s. Not only is it waterproof, but it’s fast drying, peels off and its black hue blends beautifully into lashes. Read: No telltale white sploges here.
Step 5: Line your curler up underneath your lashes (where the glue should be) and curl them onto your real lashes. Hold for a few seconds then release… There you have it, simple yet seriously effective!
