If long, fluttery lashes are the dream, then there are multiple options to achieve them! Between lash lifts, lash extensions, lash growth serums, fake lashes, and volumising & lengthening mascaras, the choices can be overwhelming. But let’s be real — among all these options, the easiest (read: cost and time-efficient) way to achieve long, fluttery lashes is fake lashes. Yes, your mascara can help too, but nothing beats the look of freshly applied fake lashes when it comes to getting those dreamy, baby-doll lashes.
The tricky part? Applying [fake lashes] without poking yourself in the eye or ending up with wonky lash placement. It takes practice and patience (a lot of it!). But don’t worry — we’ve got you covered with a full tutorial on how to apply fake lashes like a total pro.
Here’s everything you need to apply fake lashes like a pro:
-
A small pair of scissors
-
Tweezers
-
Lash glue

Step 1: Curl your lashes & apply mascara
Before applying your [fake lashes], prep your natural ones with an eyelash curler for lift. Then, go in with a coat of the Simply Nam Clean Lashes Mascara. This mascara's unique comb applicator helps separate the lashes and ensures a clump-free base for your fake lashes to blend into. You can apply a second coat for extra volume.
Step 2: Choose the type of fake lashes you want
There are two types of fake lashes — strip and cluster.
Strip lashes come in a full band and are placed along the lash line. Perfect for special occasions or bridal makeup, Simply Nam offers two types:
Cluster lashes are smaller groups of lashes that are applied individually. Simply Nam’s Flawless Pro Cluster Lashes come in different lengths to let you customise your look. While cluster fake lashes require more time and precision, they blend seamlessly and offer a natural, feathery finish.
Pro Tip: Simply Nam fake lashes are made with high-quality synthetic fibres that mimic real hair and can be reused up to 3 times. Store them in their original packaging after cleaning for best results.
Step 3: Trim the fake lashes
Fake lashes might need to be trimmed to fit your eye shape. Always trim from the outer or inner corner — never straight through the middle. First, measure the lash strip against your eyelid to see how much you need to trim. Then use a small pair of scissors to make the cut. You can also gently flex the lash band to make it more flexible and easier to apply.
Pro Tip: Trimming is usually necessary for strip fake lashes. For clusters, you may only need to trim the lash hairs slightly.
Step 4: Apply lash glue
Apply a thin layer of lash glue on the spine of your fake lashes. Wait a few seconds to let the glue get tacky — this ensures the fake lashes stick properly without slipping. Avoid blowing on the glue; let it air dry naturally.
Pro Tip: Use a light hand when applying glue to avoid overloading the lash band.
Step 5: Apply the fake lashes
Use a mirror positioned below your face so you can look down while applying. This gives you a better view of your lash line. Grab the fake lashes with your tweezers and gently press them onto the lash line, starting from the center and then securing the inner and outer corners. Use tweezers or your fingers to press your natural and fake lashes together so they blend flawlessly.
Step 6: Top it off with eyeliner
Once your fake lashes are in place, wait a minute for them to set. Then use Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal to fill in any visible gaps and hide the lash band. This gives the illusion of fuller lashes and a more seamless finish. You can also add another coat of mascara if needed.
And just like that, you’ve nailed the dreamy, fluttery lash look!
Whether it’s brunch with your girls, a romantic date night, or your big bridal moment, fake lashes can elevate your entire look with minimal effort.
But wait, don’t forget to remove them properly!
Knowing how to apply fake lashes is one thing — but knowing how to remove them safely is just as important.
Never tug or rip your fake lashes off. Instead, use micellar water or an oil-based cleanser to gently loosen the glue. Soak a cotton pad and hold it over your eye for a few seconds. Your fake lashes will slide off easily. Clean them gently and store them in their original box to reuse.
Now you’re all set to apply and slay with [fake lashes] like a total pro!
