So you love the look of a tikka but every time you try to wear one all you see is bobby pins everywhere and it usually ends up halfway down your forehead by the end of the night. Contrary to how simple it looks, applying a tikka can be a little tricky, just like how tricky applying a bindi can be
Well I’ve got your foolproof guide on how to apply a tikka.
Here are the items you’ll need:
Now just follow the step by step. The key is in teasing your hair and crossing the pins. Crossing bobby pins locks them into place. The eyelash glue is extra security to make sure the tikka stays put through the inevitable jago dance.
For the makeup from this look check out my Arabic cut crease makeup tutorial.
Do you have any additional tips? If so please leave them in the comments for all of us 🙂
Wish I could pull that off. You look amazing deeps;).
Promise you totally can! We’ll get you in one someday 😉
This is going to sound like such a silly question but I have never used eyelash adhesive before so how do you take it off? I have very sensitive skin and am worried about how to take the tikka off.
Very helpful tutorial by the way, thank you! 🙂 xx
Thanks! It’s actually very easy to remove the adhesive. It should peel off pretty easily, if not just wash the area with face wash and it will come off.
Thank you ! This was the only step by step with pictures that I could find.
Great site too!
Thank you!! 🙂
hey i was wondering if there any alternatives for the eyelash glue?
Hi Trusa! Yes you can use spirit gum instead. You can find it at party supply stores.
