False Lashes!!

When you’ve exhausted all other means of hooching out, false lashes will never let you down. While it may take several attempts across several occasions to actually apply false lashes successfully, I encourage every girl to get there!! They can make the biggest difference to your look and seriously turn up the volume on your facial features.

My Recommendations
(If you have other types you live by please do share!!)

#1. #4 from Mac Cosmetics
Warning: These are super long and wispy and should prob. only be worn at night where the lights will be dim They are kind of a rip off but I’ve managed to squeeze up to 5 wears out of one pair once.

Available at Mac.com for $12

#2. Shisem False Lashes (Korean brand)

They are cheap and come in various styles, one in particular I absolutely can’t live without are these very natural looking ones that come in a 4-pk. At first I thought these might be under-eye lashes since they are so small but they work really well for the upper lashes if you want to go undercover with your lashes… not look so vamped up. I couldn’t find any online retailers but I usually get mine in Korea or they might be available at the Korean Markets (if you live near one). My favorite is the Hangook Market in Santa Clara.

Some fun options:
My Divas Closet stocks some outrageously crazy lashes and other eye gems. I tried some of the feather style lashes several years back for Halloween and they didn’t stay on very well, not to mention scared my boyfriend shit-less.

Eyelash Adhesive:
Don’t ever use the clear eyelash adhesive. They suck and it’s all marketing BS about how it applies clear. The regular white glue will dry clear too. I use any and all brands of the white eyelash adhesive.

How I Apply My Lashes
1. I curl my real lashes up first
2. Then I smear a large dollop of glue to the back of my hand
3. I run the false lash line across the glue, then let it dry for anywhere from 30-60 seconds until the glue gets tacky to the touch.
4. Then I line up the lash to my real lash line and press on the outer edges of the lashes, scooting the lash back and forth across my lash line until it gets centered correctly and nudges up to the edge of my eyeline. I keep tapping the lash down into the lash line as it starts to dry and attach to the lid.

Hope to see you out with the long and luscious lashes ladies!
