False eyelash virgin - help!

[mummybookworm]

Possibly going out tomorrow night, and want to look uber glam. Which false eyelashes should I buy? Last time (about 100 years ago) I tried them, I looked like Lily Savage. Really want to avoid that this time! Thanks.

Boots do their own brand for about £4.50 which are called 'natural'. Very fine, but just bulk up your own lashes a bit. If you are careful removing you can re use

Have you got time to go to a salon and get some mink individual lashes put on?

I use the ones by Girls Aloud - they each have a pair which are all different. The "Kimberley" ones are the most natural but give the oomph without being really over the top. Cost about a fiver from Boots.

I wear false eyelashes a lot and if you don't generally wear them then even very natural looking ones will look ultra glam. My preference is to have natural looking but much longer lashes

Cybbo, I always reuse mine. When i peel them off (if sober enough) I wash them under warm water and use a little bit of soap to rub of the excess mascara which I apply after the lashes are in place. I leave them to dry and they are as good as new.

Thanks all. No Barry I haven't got time to go to a salon unfortunately. I will look into that when another night out comes up.

They make my eyelids feel weird so I don't wear them. I apply mascara about 100 times and that does the trick!

I actually get through lots and so buy mine in home bargains where they are £1.99

I don't think there is home bargains near us, will try Boots and Superdrug tomorrow. Thank you. Will report back on the Lily Savage look!

I have just (literally-they're still drying) fitted ardell duralash natural flares for the first time and they look blooming awesome. Took a but longer but I have no huge lash strip line. I could easily wear them without mascara or eyeliner

fit them with lashtite- they do a dark version which is better is it doesn't dry with clear bumps apparently.

You can use the individual lashes with normal lash glue just for the evening as shown here. Easy than strip lashes for the novice IMO.

Funnily enough it looks like the same ones, just with a different short term glue. They're definitely easier to get right than strip lashes, and if you get one a bit squint you can just dab a cotton bud in some remover and take the wonky one off without removing them all.

Eyebrows - help!
I'm ashamed to admit I have never ever even tried to do anything to my eyebrows and don't know where to start. They're not awful (or at least I hope not!) but I've always been terrified that if I start fiddling about with them I won't know where to stop and will end up looking very odd. However, I'd love to know what I would look like if they were done properly - would anyone be able to offer some advice as to where to go to get them sorted out?
Thanks so much

Sorry! Meant to start new thread and messed up!
