False lashes (that you put on yourself)

Are there any that are fool-proof level of easy to put on?! I've only ever had them twice, both times were added by professional MUAs and they looked amazing. I'd love to do it myself, only tried the once and it was a disaster!

I have extensions now but when I worse strips I used to find the thicker bands easier. I would also bend them round a thick makeup brunch first so they curve to your eye and you don’t get that Straight look with them

Is there any particular brand you'd recommend. I've had a look and there are so many to choose from!

I use the magnetic ones and find them easy.

Honestly practice makes perfect I think! And even after years of wearing them it might take a couple of attempts.

My best tip is to let the glue dry for at least 30 seconds before trying to put them on.

Lola's lashes. I get the glue pen (can get black or clear) from there also. It's too easy, just draw a line like you would liquid eyeliner just above your lash line, put the inner lash on first then let the rest stick on. No faffing about as you already have the glue on your eyelid. No more faffing about trying to put a sticky strip lash on.

Really recommend Amor Lashes for DIY extensions, they're supposed to last a week, mine last about 5 days and you can reuse them too

Eyelure 3 pack of 3/4 size. Really flattering, not too large. They come ready curved. I use superdrug black colour eyelash glue. Put a super thin line on to the eyelash, wait then wait some more. Then put on!
No need to trim the length, they are just brilliant. Only seen them in boots.

Really interested in this as well. I'm hopeless at lashes. I've started having extensions done and yes they look fab but I just don't have the time to spend two hours every three weeks on maintaining them

I've just bought this brand. They're amazing.
I don't like the lashes in the starter box though. They look quite sparse and seem to be in one long strip so you need to cut them? I bought an assorted lengths box though and they are perfect.
I found the how to video on the Lashify website the best and most helpful.
My first attempt lasted 5 days and my 2nd lasted 6 days. They were very easy to apply. It's a big 👍🏼 from me
