Has anyone mastered false eyelashes? I am tempted to buy some but scared I will end up resembling Lily Savage.

Ooh I love false eyelashes! Mised success though tbh. Can get away w it if dressed up 70s glam style, but otherwise it's the tranny look for me all the way (what is with this natural tendency towards tranny and me? I put some dangly earrings on last night on a whim and I managed to look both like a tranny and.... oh well, never mind, I'll get flamed.... Needless to say, it was NOT a good look).

sometimes I despairrrrrrrrrr

am up for swap. have urban decay eye shadow i was given, too glittery for me. who wants it?

orangina · 17/12/2009 12:41

I think you need quite posh lashes. more difficult to do the novelty type once you are out of your teens

(distant memory)

Anyone for some elizabeth arden eye shadow in purple? Nice purple, but too purple for me...

I look crap in anything with a frill.

the laura ashley dress business in the 80s was a complete disaster (in so many ways obviously)

I PROMISE, I can look like a tranny w almost no effort at all. And I'm not even stubbly. I don't know how I manage it.

I aim for the halle berry gamine thing.

MayorNaze · 17/12/2009 12:45

ooh ooh what colour urban decay sparkly?

i am not a sparkle magnet, honestly

actually sod it. send it all to me and i will send you homemade honeycomb in exchange

MayorNaze · 17/12/2009 12:45

evening makeup makes me look like a tranny

good job i am rarely out in ehe evening really

orangina · 17/12/2009 12:45

let's start up a MN beauty and make up freecycle.

MayorNaze, you have a deal! am in office atm (obviously working VERY hard), will post details tonight when home....

False eye-lashes -

went to wee chinese beauty salon place before I got wed in Oct to ask about "extreme lashes" - they are supposed to last between 3 weeks and 3 months

WHAT A CROC OF SHITEOLA.

  1. Between 3 weeks and 3 months??? There is a bit of a difference I hear you cry - well yes, they are stuck onto your own lasshes so when they fal out the false ones do...so if they all fall out after a week its tough shit.

  2. The woman tried to persuade me that I needed a full set..... £240... yes thats right ladies £240.... she was told where to poke aforementioned lashes.

Girl that did make-up on wedding day applied ones that I bought from boots - individual lashes are way forward.

MayorNaze · 17/12/2009 12:51

£240?

were they gold coated mink?

MayorNaze · 17/12/2009 12:51

Christmas my arse

Am loving at the moment - the classic rouge noir nail polish from chanel, looks brilliant with pale skin.

Recent purchases which have been well worth it for winter crimbo makeup, is a coloured powder by benefit called 'one hot minute', which is a rose gold loose powder andgives a lovely subtle warm glow.

Urban decay glitter eyeliner in various colours. Not a lip gloss fan, so usually like the tints from urban decay, although i do love my neon pink lipstick from body shop with very pared down makeup and black glitter eyeliner. Honestly its not disgusting, i wouldnt have believed it myself unless i seen it on a beauty blog first!
