Have you ever worn false eyelashes? They sound so pretty. I’d like to wear some with a regular sweater and jeans. What do you think?
P.S. These are insane!!!

Definitely do it! They make me feel stunning.
I work with a girl who wears fake eyelashes everyday! They look awesome on her! I’m not that talented but I did get eyelash extensions for my wedding and I am a HUGE fan! Seriously they lasted for like 3 months and they make you feel so so pretty;)
i tried extensions on a whim and it turned out to be one of those thing you didn’t know you couldn’t live w/o until you got them. i go every 3-4 weeks and it takes an hour, but in the meanwhile no mascara, no black smudges under the eyes.
I wore false lashes on my wedding day having never worn them before. I was understandably dubious given I wanted to feel comfortable but they TOTALLY made the look. And they look fantastic in the pictures – they don’t look fake at all and I could hardly feel them.
I tried them once. Maybe because I didn’t do a good job, but I didn’t like them very much. They’re so hard to put on and the glue feels icky especially being so close to your eyes. And the glue takes forever to go away/take off. :/ They look cute, though.
she’s the most beautiful! (:
I’ve worn them at the last few weddings I’ve gone to and am OBSESSED. I recommend starting with ones that are NOT a full even fringe all the way across. Get ones that are a little more sparse. Mine are from Walgreens or some such.
Anyway, I’ve told people I’m wearing them, and they’ve said how great they look. The sparser ones just look like you have fantastic lashes. I’d like to experiment for the more obvious ones, but I’m really thinking my sparser ones will start seeing night-out use.
My auntie does the individual false eyelashes. It takes 3 hours to have them put on because she glues then to each eyelash. She did them for my wedding and i’m so grateful she sis. I cried like a baby. And i woke up looking beautiful every morning. The on ly problem with them is that you have to have them retouched every 4 to 6 weeks and its not cheap but i loved having them done. I wish i could have them forever.
i tried them once and looked like a she-male… it was pretty scary.
how are twiggy’s bottom lashes done? i love the bottom lashes!!!!
i wore them once. and you picked the perfect picture, because when i wore them it was for halloween and i was twiggy. :-)
Love’em!
Yes! I’ve been wearing eye lash extensions for about 6 months now and I can’t stop. I love how awake I look and never need to wear eye makeup. It’s so easy!
I think they are so unnatural and phony looking. Just like fake boobs and acrylic nails.
I LOVE false eyelashes! I usually only do them when I’m on the stage or for special occasions, but occasionally for a date night I’ll to half-falsies or a couple of the single clumps, just for a little added oomph. They make such a huge difference!
DO! i fail terribly at applying makeup – except these. heavy lashes with nude lips. perfection! my little five year old daughter fell in love with rainbow shu uemura lashes!
They look cute on Twiggy but they always make me think of “A Clockwork Orange”
I tried back along for the first time. It was the hardest thing ever and I certainly did not get it right. Mind you it was for hallowe’en so it didn’t really matter.
They’re easy to wear (I’ve been wearing them since I was 16). You do need to trim them to fit your eyes properly which most people don’t seem to do. Once the are trimmed (they don’t start in the inside corner of your eyelid. Try 1/8-1/4 of an inch up. Also you need to bend the eyelashes back and forth between your fingers to make the strip the lashes are on flexible for fitting on your eye. A light bit of adhesive(white adhesive dries clear)on the lashes strip and then place on your eye(see where Twiggy’s start?) and there you go.
You can check the position by holding a small mirror above your eye and look into the bathroom mirror. Easy peasy really, just practice.
I’ve always kind of wanted to try them I don’t know why since I already have thick long lashes! Secret, I use to cut my lashes because they were too long people thought I was crazy. If you only knew how annoying they can be :)
DOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Being a girl who has naturally LOW impact eyes, I have found them to be a wonderful way to add drama. I use them for really special nights out, parties, and once you get the hang of them, they are so easy… it takes a confident hand, and tacky glue (set it for about 30 seconds before applying)… LOVE THEM!!!
These eyelashes are spunky and fun! How great would they be to wear through out this holiday season!?! I also love the strip style eyelashes.

Do!!
Definitely DO!
Do! But the right ones!
Yes! Go for it.. use Duo eyelash glue in gray. It last for hours and hours!!! Look on youtube for tutorials on how to apply them. That’s what I did. Believe me, practice makes perfect. If you don’t get them on correctly, they’ll poke the inner corner of your eye all night long!
I wear them a few times a month. You can find them for a resonable price at Ulta or Walgreens!
Much like liquid liner, it’s one of those things I could never master. With my wimpy lashes, I really could use them though!
Beautyful photograpy.

I’ve worn them but I’d be a liar if I didn’t note that I had some issues getting them on!
I have definitely tried falsies, but only for halloween. I know people who do use them on a regular basis and love them. You need to be careful though b/c sometimes the glue stings if you don’t apply it properly. ALSO there is something new – can’t remember what it is called – but they are a more permanent eyelash addon. People do it for you, and they fall off naturally after awhile. They are thick and beautiful and you don’t need mascara.
Falsies are so much fun! Its equivalent to trying on your moms heels when your five! Playing dress up when your older!

I absolutely wear them to any party! Especially if I’ll be photographed. It takes no time once you get the hang of it, and drug store brands are often ‘buy one, get one’ so I stock up. Lashes + lipstick= done!
False lashes with the bottoms like the ones pictured remind me of A Clockwork Orange, so I would have to say no to that. But more importantly, can you imagine being on a date and forgetting that they’re there, only to touch your eye, laugh, or make some inane gesture and have them fall out onto your plate or something? These are the kinds of things that keep me up at night. :)
Love them!
false eyelashes are becoming so mainstream, but they still sound so high-maintenance to me.
And yet, I do find myself wondering if I should learn how to apply them, since I tend to highlight my eyes anyway… :-)
I would definitely do them – so dramatic, just tough to apply.
I got eyelash extensions from JJ Eyelashes in NY last year. Gorgeous, but expensive. To recreate the look, I’ve started wearing false lashes. For painless removal, just hold a wet wipe (regular baby wipes) over your closed eye for a few seconds. The strip will fall right off.
also @houseofmilk, your comment made me laugh out LOUD. i almost did the same thing. haah.
yes for wedding + engagement shoots!! they make you look so fem :)
Try this Jo, Very simple and VERY effective, hope it helps!

Fake anything body-related = totally weird!
False eyelashes can totally be the cherry on a perfectly dressed cake. Twiggy is really the ultimate poster child for false lashes. If I am correct she also drew some of the bottom lashes on with liner.
I wore fake eyelashes when I was the maid of honour for my best friends wedding. I got glue in my eye and in every picture it looked as though I had major pink eye or I had been crying for days. hahaha. I got eyelash extensions for my wedding and they lasted a month and a half. I felt fabulous everyday!!
I’ve never worn them. But I want to!
Try individuals to start rather than the stripes, they look more natural. If you like them and don’t want to pay a ton for lash extensions, you can always just use a special glue that keeps them on for a month. I have to get a new bottle myself so I can always find out the name for you.
I have had mates who have got eyelash extensions – basically they glue individual lashes on to your own – takes around 2 hours but lasts for up to six weeks – you can also get refills – they recommend you get them refilled every three weeks if you want to maintain them – they look hot and you can still use mascara!
I wore them for my sister’s wedding, and I LOVED them! They were so much fun and I felt my eyes really popped in a good way!
Oh yes. They are such fun. Why not!?
I normally only wear them when I go out but I wouldn’t mind wearing them more often is they didn’t take so long for me to put on.
YES! Used to model, loved it when they added the fake lashes. I wish I knew how to do it myself. Could really use the help of lashes these days…
My mother actually just introduced me to them! She is a pro and they look gorgeous on her!
i LOVE them and would have them in a heartbeat if i could afford the semipermanent ones. I had them professionally applied for my wedding and got tons of compliments! They make such a huge difference in my appearance!
One time I tried applying them for my friend while I was drunk. I ended up putting them both on one eye.
I dooooooooo :D

I do, I do, I DO! False lashes are so much fun and they can quickly glam up any look.
I love fake eyelashes so much I tried getting eyelash extensions once- but they drove me insane so I pulled them all out!
Those eyelashes that you said the link to are INSANE! I love the ones in the picture, they would go good with sweaters and jeans.
I did .. wore them when I went out at night .. I haven’t worn any in years, maybe I will give it a try again. I loved them.
I;ve also been known to wear the individual ones for a night out. With my little ones, I wear them a lot less often than I did before, though.
Might be fun to try the fancy ones, though!
Do! Do! Do! I wore them for my wedding last month, and now I’m determined to put them on more often. A lovely gal I work with wears them all the time and she looks fantastic. Sometimes it’s just that extra kick to make you feel good :)
Most definitely a do!!! Although I will advise be careful when you take them off, you don’t want to tear off any permanent eyelashes. I always take mine off in the shower or right after, it does less damage.
yes most defiantly! just make sure if you by them and put them on yourself have good glue lol. and my friend she gets them professionally done she has them on so much i dont know what she looks like with out them they are so natural. they are fun very fun just like anything fake make sure they dont fall off lol.
I wear them to my ballroom competitions, along with lots of glitter–the bigger and sparklier your eyes look, the better!
These can totally enhance your look if done well. For just a bit of fullness I’ll add a few individual ones here and there in between lashes. :)

Edit: *buy glue. . .
Oh, and one more tip. The type of fake eyelashes that aren’t a thick row–the ones that have more variety to the length tends to look more natural. I also go for ones that get a bit longer in the outer edges.
I have super long lashes natural (I’m middle eastern) but I like to wear false lashes when I go out on special occasions, like a xmas or nye party. They’re fun to use to dress up your look and give it a little extra something.

Yes, I’m a big fan. If you get the right ones then it just opens up your eyes vs. looking spidery.
Tip #1: If the whole row seems like too much then cut them in half and just place them on the outer half of the lid.
Tip #2: Don’t get “clear” glue, by glue that dries black.
I love them on other people, but they make me feel like a drag queen (and not in a good way).
Absolutely!!!
it’s a DO! i wear them about once a week! (I’m also a hairdresser, so it’s a bit more acceptable for daytime with me. might be a little intense in an office setting.)
