Apart from being a goddess, Courtney Act is an Australian drag queen and singer who has starred on Australian Idol and RuPaul's Drag Race. As an added bonus, she also knows how to apply a pair of eyelashes that'll look so good, you'll never want to take them off. Courtney stopped by BuzzFeed Oz to show us how to rock the perfect pair of falsies.

Step 1: Grab your false eyelash and cut a small piece off.

"This lash is too long for any human eye. So you need to cut it!"

Step 2: Apply the lash glue.

"Lashes normally come with glue which is fine. You just drag it along the rim."

And make sure it has a good coating!

Step 3: Leave the glue for about 30 seconds to a minute.

"This is to let the glue get tacky. When it's dry, you should also bend it a little and breathe on it."

Step 4: Take the lash and place it in the centre of your lid.

"And don't put it too close to the centre of the eye or the end of the eye. If you do that, the lash will stab you in the tear duct constantly and make your eye water."

Step 5: Using something like a bobby pin or a pencil, gently press the lash into place.

And pay close attention to the outside edge and the inside corners!

Step 6: Pinch and/or press your real and false lashes together.

"So just press the false lash to the real lash."

And there you have it! The perfect false eyelashes.

Pro tip: Don't be afraid to wear more than one pair of false eyelashes.

Anna Mendoza / BuzzFeed

"It's perfect for a dramatic evening look."
