    Default OMG how do you stand false eyelashes!

    I have tried several kinds and it always feels like I have a spider sitting on my eye, ugh. I can look up and see them and they feel super heavy, always feels like I have something in my eye.

    I can't even work a full hour with them on. Am I doing it wrong or does this just take a lot of getting used to?

    I'm sad because I love the way they look but I can't seem to make them work for me. I do have hooded eyes and followed several youtube tutorials on how to do them but still can't tolerate them!

    What brand of lashes and lash glue are you using? Some are much more comfortable on your eyes. I really like Ardell lashes and Duo lash glue.

    It could also be the shape of your eyes causing the discomfort... in which case, there's not much you can do. Lash extensions might work better, but they also have downsides.

    I HATE fake lashes as well. I have pretty long lashes and don't really need them but always wore them at the SC. I have heard really good things about the over-the counter serums they make now as well as those mascaras with the fiber. I don't think I will do lashes anymore except for costumes or photo shoots (if I ever do one again)

    For some girls they just take a lot of getting used to. You might want to start with a super light natural looking set and see if that works better for you to start. I don't think it's likely an applying them incorrectly thing- I dance with a friend who has crazily hooded lids and she wears hers almost flat over her eyes yet they aren't uncomfortable for her (anymore).

    Personally i just couldn't get them to work- I have one hooded eye and one non, so one lash strip would always go on perfectly and the other was a nightmare to match. I get eyelash extensions now and even the first time I didn't notice any additional weight. I did see them in my peripheral vision all the time for the first day or so, but my brain blocks it out now. They're obviously a little pricier but it's nice to always have my lashes ready to go, and they are a write-off up here so it doesn't really matter.

    Try Red Cherry lashes. If you really want to use strips. I know people who wear them comfortably all day when necessary.

    Thanks for the recommendations for brands. I got a few drugstore brands, maybe should have spent a bit more, could be the issue, or maybe the fact my eyes are very hooded.

    I may give it another shot with some better brands again.

    I am unsure exactly of my background but I was a fair ginger with freckles as a child so it's quite possible.

    Irish here, w/small narrow eyes, my prob is my shaky hands, used to be able to put 'em on.., have you tried the individual ones, or what I do is cut the strip lashes in half, almost always they are way too long for my eye.

    I have a love hate wiTh lashes too.

    I'd rather try to grow my real ones and get some good mascara.

    Definitely make sure the lash glue is latex free. Many people have sensitivity to latex and your eye skin is very delicate.

    Also I hate the ones with the thick inflexible band. The natural to medium ones are more flexible to adapt to your eye shape. Try a few pairs to notice the difference.

    You can also do individual lashes. They are supposed to look more natural than the strip lashes.

    The one hooded eye thing is a common Irish trait, just asking.

    Hooded eyes are also common among those with Asian ancestry as well.

    are you getting them RIGHT up in your lash line? That was my problem at first. I also cut them for my narrow eyes lol and bend the shit out of them while the glue is drying to give it a flexible fit. And then place it right up in the base of the lashes and make sure I'm tucking the corners in while it continues to dry.
    Don't get the extra thick ones, they're too stiff!
    I used to wear fakies every shift but it pulled my real lashes out so I quit. Now it's only special occasions

    Ooh, I didn't know they pull out your lashes, I was concerned about the eyelid skin, as Ms P pointed out.
    I have Elf's indiv. lashes, however they, like a lot of the indy's have a big knot thing @ the end, they have knot-free ones

    Do you have really curly lashes? Mine are and they have always made putting fake lashes on a nightmare, it's really hard to line the strip up close enough and straight enough because my lashes curl back so much that they overlap my lash line. I've seen so many tutorials where girls just place the false lashes on with a set of tweezers----there is no doing that with mine, you need both hands to work around my natural lashes. And then once they're on I could never blend my real ones with the fake ones, it was always very obvious where the real ones ended and the fake ones started. I get lash extensions now and I love them but they're usually not as dramatic as strip lashes.

    I was kinda rough taking them off and I used them allll the time so maybe that was it..but yeah now I just use mascara and they've grown back nicely! They are short so they need something lol

    I say get lash extensions and use growth serum, by the time the extensions or first refill fall out you won't need them.

    I'm both Irish & Asian so I guess that's why I prefer extensions over the annoying disposable falsies. I've always loved how little makeup I need with the extensions, even though they bend weird after 3 weeks (when they're ready for a fill).

    Myself, I'm using the brow growth stuff, but plan to move on to the lash one..
    I bought from Sally's, black indiv lash glue & remover (sold separately, unless you buy a kit w/teeny tiny samples in it)
    I have Elf's indiv lashes, going to try them again, then getting the knot-free ones
