    Default Fake eyelashes

    I've got a big party coming up on Saturday and I want to look really good for it! I wanna try false eyelashes because they can look very glamourous, never worn them before though.. I think it's something that could go wrong or end up looking ott like a drag queen. Any tips or recommendations? Also can you put mascara and eyeliner over them or are you not meant to do that?

    They're a lot easier than most people think. Just apply a SMALL amount of glue to the edge of the row of lashes (never tried individual lashes they sell, much too lazy, lol), then wait like 30 seconds to let the glue dry a bit, then stick em on as close to your real eyelashes as possible. You can adjust them for a few seconds after that.

    I don't like to put mascara over the fake lashes 'cause they get all gunky and you can't reuse them as many times. I just curl and put black mascara on my real lashes before applying, so they blend better.

    Good luck! I love fake lashes, I never go to work without them.

    These are pretty good instructions as well, except only wait 20-30 seconds for the glue to get sticky before placing the lash. Use Duo glue or the drug store "Lash Glue" that comes in a tube. I wear mine very close to my lash line (and that took a lot of practice). I also tend to use a lot of glue, so that I can move them around a little (it dries clear). That being said, they are usually accidentally glued to my real lashes. Don't play tug o war, just use so oily eye makeup remover. I use them everytime I work.

    I looooove fake lashes!
    I may be late here, but I just realized that e.l.f. now has lashes in 2 different styles (day/night). And at a dollar a pop, not a bad deal.

    I love fake eyelashes!

    The individual ones I find are more goofprrof, but they do take more time. The individuals you can add bit by bit, so you can see when you have enough impact. Teh full set...it's kind of hit or miss...full on drag queen or sexy lol.

    I always put on mascara (but I dont reuse mine), and eyeliner is pretty much necessary to cover up any extra glue, and it helps the fakes blend in with your natural line. (I use liquid liner for the most drama)

    And using eyebrow tweezers to apply is the easiest method,

    Thanks for the tips! So you can put eyeliner over afterwards to cover the glue... But do you put on eye shadow before or after the lashes? Sorry I think I have slight OCD about the the order I put my make-up on!

    eye makeup and liner before the lashes. Glue dries clear. Have fun!

    I love falsies, too! So quick to glam. I put eyeliner over them to make the line look more natural, just smudge it a little bit and you're good to go!

    There's a company that sells lashes with this little applicator, it was a life save for me when I was learning to put lashes on.

    I do all of my eye make up first, lashes are last, and if need be I'll put a bit of liner on afterwards to help blend it in.

    I like the ones that are more natural lookingand jsut enhance the lashes I have, a bit more dramtic but not obnoxious.

    I like fake eyelashes, but only when other people put them on for me.
    Some funny fake eyelash stories to remember. Tori spellings show NoTorious...lol one of her eyelashes fell off during a date. Make sure that doesn't happen! Also yesterday I was on stage and I brushed my hand against my bottom and I felt something on there so I picked it up. I wasn't wearing my contacts and I thought it was a spider.....and I freaked out for a second but then closer inspection revealed it was someones rogue individual fake eyelash. Watch out for those things I wonder if who ever lost that eyelash was looking pretty funky walking around.

    Fake eyelashes look great in photos. Have fun!
