The seven new eyelash trends you need to know about this year.

Sticking on a pair of lashes definitely gives the eyes a fuller, more dramatic, and even sexier look.

However, what isn’t fun is having to peel them off after a long day and being left with eyelash glue stuck along the eyelid.

If you hate eyelash glue or aren’t the best when it comes to lash application, these tips and tricks are for you.

Adding a pair of lashes will enhance any makeup look.

1. WATER-BASED EYELASHES

Also referred to as aqua lashes, all you need to use is water. Simply dip the lash in a small amount of water or apply it using a brush and place it along the natural lash line.  

The lash band is designed in a way so that water activates the adhesive already on the lash, preparing it for application.

Almost effortless in its application method, these lashes can be applied in a matter of seconds.

2. MAGNETIC EYELASHES

One of the hottest trends in beauty right now are lashes that attract to a magnetic eyeliner.

Though it may sound scary, Hawaii based paediatric and adult ophthalmologist Rupa Wong, MD, ensures they are safe for use.

She even argues they may be safer than traditional lashes, which require applying glue extremely close to the eye.

Different types of lashes have different application methods to suit the wearer.

To apply magnetic lashes, draw the eyeliner on three times, leaving it to dry for about 30 seconds in between each coat. This will make it eyeliner tacky allowing the eyelash to stick better and for longer.

The average magnetic eyelash will stay on for around 12 hours, giving a flawless and effortless look all day.

4. FOX-EYE EYELASH TREND

The fox-eye makeup trend has definitely blown up over the last few months.

Believe it or not, a simple yet effective way of achieving this eye look requires just eyeliner and a pair of eyelashes.

Rather than applying the eyelash on your natural lash-line, draw a bold and sharp eyeliner wing pointing outwards, and stick the eyelash along the outer edge of the wing.

This will give the eyes an enhanced look, making them look bigger than they actually are.

5. ACCENT LASHES

These lashes seamlessly blend in with the natural lashes, shorter than the average dramatic lash but still long enough to be noticeable.

However, they tend to be accentuated and slightly longer towards the outer corners of the eye to give the natural yet effortless look.

Depending on which style you choose, some may come as half an eyelash, only needing to be applied to the outer half of the eye.

Try these:

Blinking will then cause the eyelash to fall into the place of the natural lash line perfectly and stick to the already applied glue.

Though many speculate whether this actually works, it is a quick and easy way of applying lashes for those who struggle getting them on.
