Temptalia Asks You - What do you think of false eyelashes?

What do you think of false eyelashes? Love ’em? Too much?

.

I like them sometimes, but I wish I could apply them! No matter what trick or tip I use, it just takes me way too long to get one on. I really don’t have enough time on my hands where I can spend the time practicing either!

i love the look but My eyes water and run if its windy or I go in anywhere air conditioned so then they lift on the corners and my eyes look red – so Ok for going out as long weather permitting lol

woo hoo.. You gotta love em- they are THE single item which change a woman’s eyes! They can be small and simple to really dramatic. I have applied singles, one strip, two strips, double and triple strips, and lower ones for different photos and shows… I LOVE EM~!!

applying takes me 4 min for both incl. waiting for the glue to get sticky
my MAC MA showed me how its not difficult

Gahhhh!!! Can you do a video tut? Pretty please!!! You will be everyones new best friend!!

I think more than any other make-up (can it be called make-up?) I think false lashes are just stunning! I would wear them daily if I could get them on 🙁 which I can’t!!

An makeup looks much better/polished wth false lashes…its a different story that i don’t know to apply them!!! with lenses, then eyeshadows to be blended and eyeliner to be well lined…i find false lashes too much of a pressure!!!!

Melissa Avatar

I love lashes, especially individuals, but usually only for photo/video shoots or auditions.
I am a failure at putting them on myself. But I would like to try eyelash extensions one day.

For me I don’t think they’re necessary. Yes, they look nice but it takes way too much time and extra effort. If I want my lashes to really stand out I just add an extra couple of coats of mascara and curl them nicely. The effect is pretty much similar.

hmmm.. i dont really care for them.. – myself i would never wear them unless i have to, and i think they are not for everyday life, plus i hate women who would put the falce lashes on , but the lashes themselves are tooo tooo hugeeee.., or they are ok but they dont fit with makeup , and the outfit… lol

Lashes are a God send. Too bad I haven’t mastered putting them on yet. A little practice and I’m sure like anything else, I’ll get the hang of it. Somehow those babies can change your appearance from “girl next door” to “italian movie star” in seconds =)

I love them but the look is too dramatic for everyday. Plus it always takes me a couple of tries to get them on decently so I save them for going out/special occasions. They do make me kinda insecure that they might be lifting so I wind up checking them a lot when I wear them.

ive never used falsies before and i don’t think its a necessary item for me. I have naturally black and curly lashes (lucky me!) and I just started using black mascara last year just to intensify my lashes.

Andrea Avatar

I only like them when I want to look really dramatic. Have gotten my makeup done a couple of times when I’ve been in a wedding party, and it looks amazing in the pictures!

lizzii Avatar

i love them….if i could just get them on. haha. tricky things they are. sometimes i put them too high or not enough adhesive and it just looks like a spider on my face. isn’t it funny how when they fall off, they’ll stay on your face but won’t stay on your lid? XP

ice Avatar

i haven’t worn falsies but I’m dying to try them on! I’m scared to put them on myself because I’m scared all my eyelashes will come off too as I remove them. But I’ll definitely try them one day, on a special occassion:)

Sarah Avatar

they take a really long time to put on/perfect.. BUT.. i think they look great. they sort of block my vision as a monolid so i think i have to get tapered ones 🙂

Jennifer Avatar

I cannot believe I waited so long to start wearing them regularly. I think I just needed to find DUO, because the other glues just don’t work. I don’t care for the really long dramatic ones that are not realistic, but a natural full flirty lash is changes my eyes completely. I was told that nobody ever knew I wear falsh lashes and they thought I had long pretty lashes. It is all about finding the perfect lash to blend with your own lashes so it doesn’t look false. I have small eyes and suddenly I have large doe eyes.

Sasha Avatar

I really like them, but I don’t wear them too often because I still haven’t mastered applying them perfectly! But I disagree with everyone saying that they can’t be worn every day. Why not? You can get more natural ones or dramatic ones depending on what suits your style and preferences.

The funny thing is I don’t NEED them; my lashes are naturally long and kind of thick, so a good mascara will do me just fine. But I still think they’re fun =)

Brie Avatar

I hate em. I don’t think they look good unless you are going to a club or something, otherwise it’s just too much. I typically prefer a more natural look in all cases though!

Rosie Avatar

I honestly wish I could wear fake eyelashes, but my real lashes are to curly. They literally make a “C”. The makeup artist at mac tried to put them on for me, but she told me that I would have to cut my real lashes in order to have the fake ones look right

Christy Avatar

I love them! I get mine at this Japanese store for $2 per set. I have super dramatic ones, full fluffy lashes, criss-cross, outer corner lashes, and a ton more. Be patient while you put them on and bam, they’re gorgeous! I don’t wear them everyday, but for an event or clubbing, I must wear them! Make sure to trim your lashes, so that they aren’t too wide for your eyes. I’m Asian, so most sets are too wide. I would also recommend to start from your outer corner then gradually push the lashes down as you move towards your inner corner.

Rio Avatar

I love them. I just have to be careful where I set them on my lid and make sure they are decent quality, or they tend to poke my eye with the edge of the lash band. I actually don’t have any lashes, because I have trichotillomania, so it’s nice to put them on sometimes. I usually go without though.

Daisy Avatar

I find them a bit intimidating. I have applied them for friends without any problems but on my own eyelids.. it just ends in disaster. Perhaps I should practice more. I prefer the little lash clusters instead of those full lash lines. This post did make me want to try them out again. Its nice to read other peoples experiences!

niknik Avatar

i LOOOVE them. i’m just starting to get better and faster at applying the, but i’m always rushed in the mornings so i’m lucky to wear them once a week.

mars Avatar

I love false lashes and wear them 3-4 days a week. Most of the time it’s a more natural set but sometimes I go for super dramatic double or triple stacked lashes. Once you get the hang of it, I honestly feel like putting lashes on is faster than layering on the mascara.

Vanessa Avatar

At first I was very intimidated by falsies but I’ve been getting much better at applying! It really just takes patience and I really only wear them for special occasions. They really make a difference!

claudia Avatar

i’ve never worn them, but i don’t like it when i look at someone and i just *know* they are wearing them, because they look so heavy and fake. i guess what i’m trying to say is that i don’t like it when they look too obvious. this doesn’t include the crazy ones that are meant to be seen! 🙂
