Default Eye Lashes

I love the look of false eye lashes but have been too afraid to try them. I guess I'm afraid I'll glue them to my contact lenses ... or worse yet... glue my eyes shut!

Do you put them on before your make-up? Before you powder? Do they stay on well? How do you remove them? Where do you buy them?

Any advice would be appreciated!

False eyelashes can be picked up at any number of costume shops and/or clown shops. They come in just about any imaginable color and style. The eyelash adhesive is a very thin latex or for those alergic to latex there is a substutite. It is easiest to apply the lashes with an eyelash clamp. It is a curved clamp that holds the eyelash. You then press the lashes just above your own lashes on your upper eyelid. To remove simply pull, they come right off.

I only wear them some times. But I put them on almost last. just before the mascara. I use regular people lashes. I want people to see my eyes not say oh what big eyelashes you have. I use a little mascara after I put them on because the make up will make my natural ones white.

It is really easy. I just put a tiny little line of eyelash adhesive along the edge and put them right on. Sometimes I wonder why they stay on but they do.


After halloween you can get them dirt cheap at walmart and the like. And they have a little more varioty than regular people lashes. They have a lot of pretty ones.

"Deborah" has long, lush, beautiful NATURAL lashes and needs no assistance from ANYTHING artificial.

I personally can't stand the stupid things but I wear them because the really make my eyes pop. I guess I can't stand them because I never can seem to get them on properly. Go figure... I can stick my finger on my eyeball to put in contact lenses but can't get those stupid lashes on the outside properly!! Guess it just takes practice. And I bet it would be a lot easier with one of those handy eyelash clamps Fitzy spoke of. I may have to get me one of those if Harmony insists on being beautiful!!

Oh, and the eyelashes are the next to last thing I put on... right before my big red honker!

Another question... are the eyelashes reusable or do you need a new set each time?
