Hi, I am currently into make up tutorials nowadays. I enjoy watching tutorials from YouTube. I have seen most of them use fake eyelashes. I have very short and straight eyelashes. I like the idea of using fake ones to enhance how I look, but I just find weird to wear them in everyday occasions, like going to work, school or like going to the mall. I just feel like you will look funny because having one surely will catch a lot of attention. But recently when I visited the mall I saw a short, curl and almost natural looking eyelashes and that's when I had an interest of using one. Because it surely looks natural, not too thick and long and will definitely just enhance my eyes and will not look like I am going to join a pageant or going to a prom or something. How about you guys,do you like wearing false eyelashes to work, school or going out?

The girls I see working at MAC make-up counters, always have false lashes and pounds of make-up on their faces, but I suppose they need to demonstrate the products. It depends on how dramatic you want your look to be I suppose. False lashes are so fiddly to apply, I only ever wear them when I'm going on a dressed up evening out and even then I often can't be bothered! I love the look, but hate the faff. Especially when you've glued your eyelid together. That may just be me being clumsy though!

Hahaha that is funny.. Maybe you really have to practice more so you'll get used to it.

That's the key isn't it? Now if only there was a way to stop me tripping over and stepping on plugs and such. Clumsy is contagious!

I don't wear false eyelashes. I don't find them good for my looks, or when i think of wearing them, I believe my eyes will get irritated and i will not feel comfortable. That's why I never dremt of having one. Anyways, I am familiar to one simple fashion rule that goes like this; Be comfortable and beauty will follow. :)

Hi, clouds0327. No. I don't wear fake eyelashes when I go to work or to school. I just wear my normal length in my eyes. I do know that they have a solution that will expand your eyelashes to make them grow. I don't think that I want to try this.

When I was still a little younger I was into researching for products that will help grow my eyebrows because naturally they are so scarce and shapewise so short almost like Monalisa looking. But now I'm older I don't really care about growing my eyebrow cause I know it wont grow. I hope someone could invent a technology to do so cause I will really try my best to undergo one. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, Clouds. You remind me of my three year old daughter. Like you, it s her latest craze to watch make up tutorial in you tube. . My baby wants to grow up fast.:) Anyways, I don't use fake lashes. Even if I wanted to (I"M not sure if I really wanted to)there's no enough time for me to really don a makeup. Since, whenever I go out, my kids go with me. So, part of my time is dressing them up, too. My husband hates to wait... I'm just lucky that I have thick lashes. So, I just put a little blush on and lipstick then, I'm set to go.:) But, I'd want to try to use one someday and see what magic will it do to my face.LOL

I love false eyelashes i think they enhance your eyes a lot. If you are going for a natural look, its probably not a very good thing to use. If you have never put them on before here are the steps i do it in: + hold lash to eye, shape and cut if necessary + Curl lashes, pump a couple times if needed + Add mascara to your natural lashes + Take the lashes off by rolling them off the package with your finger be carful not to break them. + Apply glue to top of hand + Take the lashes and rub the back over the glue in one motion + Let the glue get tacky, about 30 seconds + apply the lash from the middle and push onto eye (Push towards the eye, don't worry about the part that's on the eye, if that part isn't going on right you can use a q tip to adjust as necessary) + Apply the other lash the same way + Once dry curl lashes again then apply another coat mascara It's really easy once you get the hang of it. The first ones i put on were really messy, so practice first before you go out. I recommend getting cheap ones from the dollar store if you can find them *for practice, unless you find cute ones like I did ha ha =D Good luck!

I've never tried fake eyelashes. I wanted to try them for my prom, but I heard about a girl who had and they fell off during the party. What I use for big eyelashes is the eyelash curler, which makes them curly and a bit directed upwards and they appear to be longer and you eyes bigger. and then some mascara.

I think in order for you to avoid that from happening to you is that you have to use a great adhesive. Yes, you can also just use an eyelash curler and a volumizing and a lengthening mascara. I heard the Maybelling Define a Lash is great at doing this, Im just not sure with the volumizing effect though. Thanks a lot.

I do not need to. My eyelashes are all right, but then I would not like the idea of having to take them off and put the back on. Besides I am on the cheap side and I do not even wear makeup, not even lipstick because if it is red it makes me look old, and pink well do not need it that much.

Hi, I don't have a fake eyelashes and for sure I never put on fake eyelashes when I go out. I remembered well that the hair stylist put a fake eyelashes on my wedding day when they put a make-up on my face.that is the only time in my life I am wearing a fake eyelashes,feel bit weird,but it definitely looks nice. I don;t even know how to put on a fake eyelashes. I saw it is selling the the market,but never think of getting it for myself. I prefer a natural looks.
