Lower Eyelashes

I think it would be hard to do, but then that is only my opinion, why not paint them on when you do the brows. XXXXX June

Thanks for the reply! I might try that. I've started rooting the lower lashes, so far it's looking good.

I hope they turn out nice and that you post pics in artist show case. XXXXX June.

Thanks. I hope so too lol. This one is special, it's a birthday present for my daughter.

Most people don't do bottom lashes. I think it's mostly because you can't usually see the bottom ones on babies.
But that's cool that you are attempting it. You'll have to post pics in the artist showcase of them :)

I have seen bottom lashes rooted a couple times, but certainly not often. It's hard to see the lashes on many newborns, but you can see them on the older babies. Would love to see how the lower lashes turn out on your baby!

I'll post pics when I'm finished. Lol, I can tell you now it's a pain in the rear.

Any ideas on how I should glue the lashes? I put the eyes in first, and now I'm starting to think that was a big mistake.

BTW, thank you all for being so helpful. I really appreciate it!

You are right in placeing eyes in first, make sure that when you do, that the high lights or light spots, if you like are in the same place in both eyes, take a look at someone eles eyes or look in the mirrow and you will see what I mean. It does matter where you turn your eyes the light hits them in the same place. Unless you are cross eyed. LOL. Glue them in isn't that difficult, just make sure you clean the old glue off with eucalyptus oil, dry it off carefully, place ( I use tacky craft glue here in Australia ) it along the top of the lash let it dry a little, with your fingers roll it to the shape of the eye opening, and place along under top lid. Excess glue after they are set will clean off with water. XXXXX June.

Thanks for that info June. I think with the lashes she's speaking of gluing the "rooted" bottom lashes into the vinyl, not attaching lashes hun. But if you can see them inside the head under the eye socket, just drip some glue in on the back of them. Otherwise I don't think (IMHO) that you need to glue the bottoms.
