    Default i repent

    So I finally, for the first time in 21 years, tried false eyelashes.
    It was a nightmare. All those movies where girls are poking themselves in the eye, and have tubes and cream everywhere, yeah, that was me.
    I printed out latina's tutorial. well the eye makeup came out beautifully, after powder got spilled (a cat decided it needed loving NOW and jumped all over the counter).
    Then came the falsies. I got the lashes and the glue and the tweezers. Thought it would be easy. I was one of those girls who believed anyone could put on falsies and its was SOOOO easy, blah blah blah. Well its not. Latina makes it SEEM so simple. hah!
    There was glue everywhere (dont ask me how cause idk ). On the mirror, counter, all over my fingers, in my eyebrows. Horrible. FInally I get them on, but then the inside and outside corner start to curl up. Then i get them down after yelling at them profusely, and come to find out that the lashes arent curling in a natural manner. Why god, why? lol
    Anyways, finally i get them to stay down. Not quite sure if they look like theyre supposed to, seeing as I only have my pets to get an opinion from. and i cant get a good pict to show ya'll, so ill rely on the reactions of strangers!

    So I applaud all you girls who can put on false eyelashes. Never again will I disparage you!

    This is why I've never tried to put them on and never will. I feel for you.

    When you put the thin line of glue on the lashes, bend them in a horseshoe shape as you are letting the glue set a bit. This will help to get them on your eyes in a natural shape. And did you let the glue set long enough before trying to apply them? They shouldn't have lifted up in the corners if you did, they should have stayed put. It does take some practice tho. For the longest time, I only used the individual lashes instead of the strip because the individual were easier to apply, but the strip lashes look more dramatic for a strip club. The individual lashes woudl be good for daytime, or for a date, when you only need a little bit of oomph, and not major dramatic eyes.

    Goodness, how did you get it everywhere. I've put on falsies twice now. I have yet to use tweezers. I have a longggggg way to go in how well the application is. i seem to put them wayy above the lashine, instead of closer down. I dunno, nervous about damaging my pertty eyes. Anyway, it works for me..I'll probably wear them when I go back to work.

    ^^It takes a lot of practice. The first time I tried to put on lashes, I gave up b/c I was on the verge of ruining my eye makeup! Try bending them like Kaylinn said. Also steady your elbows on something and get close to the mirror. The glue tends to shoot out quickly, so I used to squirt some glue on a tissue, then use tweezers to apply the glue. Make sure you wipe the glue off your tweezers before adjusting your lashes with them or the lashes will stick and you'll pull them right off. Cant really think of anymore tips right now, but if you look in the tutorials section on specktra there are plenty that focus just on lashes. Just remember there's only one way to learn! Keep practicing and you'll get it! I think it took me about 2-3 weeks to get em right.

    Happy to hear your eye makeup came out great!
