False eyelashes

[GloGirl]

Last year I put up a post asking for help for self tan for the uninitiated and it was great - I've really enjoyed looking slightly tan for the past year so thanks!

I'd really like to try false lashes, and lockdown seems a great time to make a fool of myself and practice applying them, seeing how long they'll last etc.

Can you let me know what you get? How long it lasts etc? What do you do on a night out? Take glue with you?

A breakdown of False Eyelashes for Dummies would be fab

I really don't want to get semi permanent ones as I rub my eyes a lot when I'm tired (or allergies)

hopeful bump!

I’ve been trying Lola’s lashes which are magnetic. Prior to this I had used false lashes once and had found one started to peel off mid wedding (not mine). I’ve actually worn a pair of the magnetic ones at work!

@Thinkle are they the magnetic eyeliner ones? Or ones that connect to each other?

The eyeliner ones. I did try the other ones to be honest but because it was lash on top and bottom it was too much.

I tried some cheap magnetic ones I couldn't get on with them. The eyeliner ones sound really interesting! Which ones do you use?

Lolas lashes

Reading with interest as I've never managed to successfully apply a pair of lashes! Last time I tried I glued my eyes shut I've watched many YouTube videos explaining how to do it, but I always end up with them halfway up my eyelid on one side!

How did you manage to unglue your eyelashes?

Do you need the special magnetic lash cleanser @Thinkle ?

I’ve got a bottle of oil to remove the liner. Can’t remember if it was part of the kit or an extra but it works well!

I received my Lola's Lashes on Monday and hey were in the bin an hour later.

Oh no how come?!

Be careful with the magnetic ones. I'm sure I've heard that the tiny magnets can migrate into your eye! I'm trying to train myself to wear falsies too. The main problem I'm having is getting the inner corners to stick down!

I too tried Lola's lashes. Great idea in theory but bloody hell- that eyeliner is so damn messy- it ended up smearing over my cheeks as its very black and thick and runny. Then you have to use the oil to get it off. Very disappointed- i havent got time to mess aorund with that every morning.
I've been using 4D mascara instead and thats fab

Snap!

And the lashes didn’t stick to it anyway

What 4D mascara would you recommend please?

No- they bloody dont! they used to be skin the middle but curl up in both corners.

What 4D mascara would you recommend please

I'm using one called AsaVea 4d silk mascara from amazon but there are lots of different versions if you search 4d silk mascara. I have found the trick is to put it on after my normal YSL mascara (the shock)- it builds the lashes up until they look enormous, you can see them from space!
I like it because I cant use those fibre mascaras with the little fibres as they come off and go in my eyes but this works spectacularly!

Ok not skin

Thank you Alexis

following. I can't seem to do it. They're nowhere near my lashes and look obviously fake. I can't get them to glue down. I WANT TO MASTER IT!

I use false ones loads (and used to have infills )

False ones - trim them first to fit your lash line !

First put some mascara on your own lashes

Apply the glue to the false lash and let dry for 30 secs

Stick on at base of your lashes

You can use tweezers or your fingers

YouTube it if unsure

It’s mega easy and you can reuse them a lot

The key thing is to let the glue dry for 30 seconds BEFORE you stick the lashes onto your own

Mikki what tool do you use to get them in the right position?

@bingowingsmcgee you can use a cotton bud. I dampen the bud with my mouth (enough to seal the fluff but not soaked) and that's what I use, along with tweezers.

@bingowingsmcgee I just use my fingers but you could use tweezers if you aren’t too nimble of finger
