How to Apply Tapered Lashes
WHAT ARE TAPERED LASHES?
Tapered lashes are individual or strip lashes where each fiber gets thinner at the end. Instead of a blunt, uniform cut, the lash gradually narrows, just like your natural lashes. That means they catch light differently and look softer. If you've ever seen a lash that looks realistic up close, it was probably tapered.
WHY TAPERED LASHES ARE DIFFERENT
The main difference is the tip. Traditional lashes have a consistent thickness from base to tip, which can look harsh. Tapered lashes mimic the natural lash growth pattern. Here's what that means for you:
- More natural reflection of light
- Less weight on your eyelid
- Better blending with your real lashes
- Comfortable for all-day wear
HOW TO APPLY TAPERED LASHES: 7 STEPS
Applying tapered lashes is similar to other strip lashes, but you need to be more careful because the thin tips are delicate. Follow these steps for a flawless application.
- Measure the lash against your eye. Trim from the outer edge if needed.
- Gently flex the band back and forth to make it flexible.
- Apply a thin layer of lash glue along the band. Wait 30 seconds until it's tacky.
- Look down and place the lash as close to your natural lash line as possible.
- Press the center first, then the inner and outer corners.
- Use your fingers to press your real lashes up against the tapered fibers.
- Finish with a light coat of mascara, focusing on the base.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I use tapered lashes for everyday wear?
Absolutely. Tapered lashes are ideal for everyday wear because they look natural and feel lightweight. Look for a thin band and lengths between 10-12mm.
Do tapered lashes last as long as regular lashes?
Yes, if you take care of them. Always remove them gently and store them in the tray. Avoid getting mascara on the thin tips, as that can cause them to clump.
Can I reuse tapered lashes?
You can reuse them up to 5 times if you remove them carefully and clean the band with makeup remover. The tips are delicate, so avoid tugging.
