Had them done today and they're supposed to last 3-4 weeks. They feel very delicate to me though.

Top tips to keep them please?

No mascara, don't touch them, use a clean mascara brush to gently brush them. When they irritate don't pull them and your eyelash out but bend your eyelashes until the peel off.

Can you tell mine gave me the shits?

They start falling out within days, are you planning to maintain them?

oh and they also left my friend with bald patches as her lashes fell out with them.

Hopefully they are better for you but it's not something you can just get as a one off I don't think....

I've worn them for 2 years. Don't get them wet in shower etc as this loosens glue, don't fiddle with them either and under no circumstances pick them out! Don't wear mascara either.

If you pick them out, it can damage your lashes as super says, but i don't and mine are great and my natural lashes are in perfect condition.

Your natural lash falls out anyway and re-grows on a 2 week cycle anyway, so some will of course fall out.

I have infills done every 2/3 weeks.

Love em.
:)

Thanks everyone!

It was a spur of the moment thing yesterday :o

She gave me a little brush for them, I can see that I won't need mascara.

Tricky thing is going to be not getting them wet in the shower etc.. any tips on how to avoid that?

I feel all glam and kittenish and I'm not even dressed yet, lol

I suppose what I mean is, don't put your head directly face under the shower, wash your hair with your head falling back rather than forward to keep water to a minimum. The odd splah is fine, but I don't shower the day I have them done tbh.

oh and also don't ever cry again..! :)

Thanks Madame.. I'll try not to cry, lol!

What about eye shadow? How do you get it off again afterwards?

btw myself and my lashes have survived day one :o
