Lipstick League Question of the Week
False Lashes: Love ‘em or leave ‘em?
G's answer: As much as I love them on others, I cannot make them work for me even though my sad, sparse, short lashes really could use the boost. They always look incredibly fake on me, and I owe that to not trying enough styles and also my incredible lack of application skills. Maybe someday I'll find the right pair...and learn how to better apply them!

I like the look of false lashes but am too lazy. I like a partial strip, since it's easier to work with, and will do that now and then, but mostly I just do mascara and liner. You can kind of fake a fuller lash line with it applied tight to the lash line anyways.
ReplyDeletePersonally I have no interest in false lashes. They seem like more trouble than they're worth to me. Although, I'm fairly blessed in the eyelash department :)
ReplyDeleteI totally use to feel the same way about them! But having friends that wear them, and seeing how they do it, I learned. And I loooove them! Some times I like fun ones, sometimes I like very natural ones. Individuals are the best for daily or frequent use... Practice makes perfect. I also cut the full ones, they are always too big for my eyes. And some kinds are just not good on me at all. While others are fab! Don't give up! They are so much fun! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have long full lashes so technically I don't need falsies. BUT I do own several pair that I don't wear because I suck at applying them lol.
ReplyDeleteI'll leave 'em ty. I've tried for special occasions and whatnot and never get more than a few hrs before they start to lift-off (thanks oily lids!) I've used Duo glue which my mom, a mod gal back in the day highly reccomended and still to this day gets rave reviews but not a match for me. Primer + mascara is good enough for me, don't really like fake hair, nails etc. ...for me personally.
ReplyDeleteNope. I know how to use mascara, lol. I'm actually kind of shocked at how popular they have become. I can spot a pair a mile off. If I ever did it would be singles, those can look really nice when applied properly.
ReplyDeleteHave never worn them, never (hopefully) will! They are just too fake for my taste, unless you are doing a costume makeup. I guess I could have used some when I lost all my hair a few years ago from chemotherapy, but I was too sick to care what I looked like and wouldn't have had the energy to put them on anyway. Even for dress up or a night on the town, it's just not something that appeals to me to even go for. That and fake nails. (I tried fake nails for a Halloween costume once and they hardly stayed on the whole night!) The false eyelash thing reminds me of the joke of when a man wakes up in the morning to see the beautiful woman he was with the night before, after she's taken off her wig, eyelashes, makeup, etc. :D
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way. I always see beauty gurus with fake lashes and think that they look so wonderful and dramatic, but once I put them on myself they look WAY to dramatic even the most natural lases I"ve tried gave me too much unnatural drama :(
ReplyDeleteLove falsies!! I wish I had the time to wear them everyday.
ReplyDeleteI literally won't go anywhere if my makeup is fully done and i have no lashes on, i feel incomplete. Haha Being a professional makeup artist, i feel it is a must for myself and urg my clients to try them out because it makes a total difference in pictures. Its all about just trying them out and finding the perfect ones that you love. For myself, i do a full lash and stack a corner lash for extra flare. :)
