i would love to know how to put on false eyelashes. any tips? any where to buy them? i see them at target, and whatnot, but they're HUEG, and look ridiculous.
I buy mine from Target and Walmart. They look a lot bigger on the plastic card then they will on your eyes, since they curve upwards. But you can also get much less dramatic ones there too! I know you can find them at Sally's Beauty Supply as well, but they tend to be the same lashes they sell at the super stores and they're more expensive.
Put on all your makeup before you apply your lashes, otherwise they might come off from the powders, or get sloppy.
I usually only trim mine to fit my eyes, because I find it difficult to apply in sections. My favorite lash glue is Lash Grip, you run it across the lash line on the false eyelashes, don't glob it on, but don't skimp either. Blow on them for 10 seconds, and press them on from one edge to the other, holding it down on both ends (while your eye is close of course!) for at least 30 seconds.
It really helps if you're able to wink, if not, I'd probably get someone else to help you, just because it's ridiculously difficult to apply them if your eye is open.
After you apply them, use an eyelash curler to smoosh your natural lashes in with the falsies. Then run mascara over them to help them blend.
When you take them off, use makeup remover or baby oil, don't damage your skin by pulling them off (No matter how satisfying it is!)
A few friends I know use tweezers to press them on, but I've never had luck with it.
Practice makes perfect, and I hope it helps.
