How to cut your strip lashes properly

Is it okay to cut false lashes?

It’s totally okay to cut false lashes, and actually, it’s encouraged for a better fit! Trimming your strip eyelashes to size helps the lash band fit seamlessly on your eye, reducing any over hang that may increase the likelihood of strip lashes lifting in the corners. Cutting your falsies also provides a more comfortable wear by reducing irritability of excess lash band.

How to cut your strip lashes properly:

Do you cut the inner or outer lashes?
