POPSUGAR: How did your lash addiction start?
Nicole Guerriero: My lash addiction started the very first time I successfully put on a pair of falsies. I had been into makeup for a couple years before I finally worked up the nerve to apply my first set. I may have glued my eye shut the very first time (haha), but after I got them on correctly, I never looked back.
PS: What advice do you have for women who are nervous to try false lashes?
NG: Just do it and practice, practice, practice. You get so comfortable after your first couple times that I swear it just becomes muscle memory when applying.
PS: What is your top tip for flawless lash application?
NG: Don't apply your lashes with wet glue. Give it about 10-15 seconds to let your glue get tacky and then apply — this will prevent your false lashes from sliding all over the place. [Also,] apply your lashes with your eyes open and looking straight ahead. This helps ensure that your lashes are sitting upward instead of sitting straight out, which can happen sometimes if applied on closed eyes.
