These are extensions, so you'll need to have them applied by a pro. Once on, these last about four weeks.

Applying lower-lash falsies opens up the eye area and makes you appear more awake. It also balances out the look so your eyes don't come off as top-heavy. Danielle Lewis, makeup artist and global brand educator for Wander Beauty, suggests only using a pin-tip amount of clear glue for lower individual lashes. Use tweezers to place these where your natural lashes are sparse. "The more individuals you apply to the lower lash line, the more open and bright your eyes will look," Lewis said.

Bye-bye, messy glue!
