Learn how to apply Kiss Halloween False Eyelashes Samantha, a 16mm full-volume strip lash, with a beginner-friendly step-by-step tutorial and styling tips for Halloween makeup.
Quick answer
Apply Kiss Halloween False Eyelashes Samantha by first curling your natural lashes and trimming the strip to fit, then using a thin layer of KISS lash adhesive, and pressing the band from the center outward. Hold for a few seconds and finish with mascara to blend.
Why 16mm strip lashes need a different approach
At 16mm, the Samantha lashes are longer and more voluminous than everyday falsies, so they can overwhelm small or hooded eyes if you skip trimming. The extra length also means the band needs a secure grip to avoid lifting at the inner corners. Take a minute to measure the strip against your lash line before gluing—this single step prevents the most common beginner mistake.
Choosing the right adhesive for a Halloween look
The product page lists KISS Halloween Lash Glue, KISS Lash Adhesive, or GlueLiner as compatible options, but none are included. If you want a quick, mess-free application, GlueLiner works like a liquid eyeliner and is beginner-friendly. For all-day wear at a party, a traditional brush-on adhesive gives a stronger hold. Avoid using craft glue or lash glue not meant for eyes—it can irritate the delicate skin around your eyes.
Styling the Samantha lashes for Halloween
Because these lashes are dramatic and voluminous, keep the rest of your eye makeup balanced. A smoky eye or a sharp winged liner complements the length without competing. For a witchy look, pair with dark berry lips; for a wilder costume, add a pop of colored liner on the lower lash line. If you have very round eyes, focus the longest part of the strip toward the outer corner to elongate the shape.
How to apply Kiss Samantha lashes step by step
- Curl and prep natural lashes: Curl your natural lashes and apply a thin coat of mascara. This gives the strip something to grip and helps blend the two together. Checkpoint: if your lashes are straight, curl them again after mascara dries for extra lift.
- Measure and trim the strip: Hold the strip against your lash line without glue. If it extends past the outer corner, trim small sections from the outer edge with small scissors. Mistake to avoid: trimming from the inner corner, which can make the band too short and leave a gap.
- Apply a thin layer of adhesive: Squeeze a thin line of KISS lash adhesive along the band and wait 20–30 seconds until it becomes tacky. If using GlueLiner, apply it like eyeliner and wait for it to set slightly. Checkpoint: too much glue causes sliding and mess—less is more.
- Place the strip from center to outer corner: Using tweezers or your fingers, place the strip in the center of your lash line, then press the outer corner down, then the inner corner. Hold for 5–10 seconds. Mistake to avoid: pressing the inner corner first, which often leads to a lifted outer edge.
- Blend and secure: Gently pinch the strip and your natural lashes together with clean fingers or tweezers. Apply a tiny dot of adhesive to any lifting corners and hold until set. Checkpoint: if the band feels stiff, gently flex it before applying next time.
