I always seem to have trouble attaching them.
If anyone knows of a good lash serum that is available in Australia, I'm all in. My lashes are …eeek. And falsies are not an answer =/
I’ve never used false lashes.
The lashes on Jenny from the block in the picture are amazing! But not for me. Sigh…
Fake eyelashes look great on some eyes but they don't suit me! I actually am not a fan of those one's on J.Lo in that particular photo either – they look so spidery!!
I've never used false lashes. My lashes are quite long, so a little mascara is all I need. I'd worry about falsies ruining my own lashes.
I've only worn them twice for special occasions and I find that they really weigh my eyes down
I like them for special occasions.
Some great options here. I actually got a few cheaper pairs from the app wish and I was quite impressed.
Thank you for this! I’ve constantly been looking for falsies!
When I want lovely eyes these will do thanks so much for the tips BH.
I tried false eyelashes once but they touched my glass lens as I wear glasses all the time I never tried again, maybe it is about time I did.
magnetic eyelashes look like they'd be worth a try
I just don't think I'd could manage falsies, it would be such a mess
So many options, but I just can't master the art of applying them.
I've used Freeze Frame lash prescription for years. It's definately helped with my upper lashes. They are much longer than they used to be. It's often on special at Priceline. You apply it like an eyeliner. It helps with lash breakage as well.
I tried false eyelashes but I have not been able to apply them properly so I gave up. I much prefer mascara.
I don't wear false lashes, but won't mind for a suitable occasion.
I tried them once, but it felt like I had spiders strapped to my eyelids.
I only wear them for big events when I have my makeup professionally done
I only wear them for a very special occasion. I struggle with DIY on this one.
I love the look, but find them so hard to apply!
I’m still yet to try false lashes!
I like that saying Nys Silver.
Like the idea of the Adell Aqua Lashes. I recently got my first set of magnetic lashes (non BH brand) they adhere to a liquid liner. I'm not sure I like them. Hard to position, I feel like something is in my eye…but better than glue. I think I'm just not a false lashes person as they are too fiddly.
I have to stock up on eyelashes .
The video makes it looks easy to get a pro look. I would give that pen thing a go and I wonder if there are some lashes that might actually suit me.
The water-activated lashes look good & wouldn't be too messy either.
Still not confident in using False Eyelashes but they do look fabulous. Maybe one day I will try them for myself.
I would wear them a lot more if I was actually good at putting them on!
Too hard. I wonder what damage will be done to my eyelids when removing the falsies.
I love wearing false lashes
No matter what I cant seem to master false lashes. I try and try and in the end get frustrated and just give up.
I'm using now lash serum (that works interestingly). Falsies look weird on my eye/head shape.
I’ve been meaning to try the magnetic eyeliner ones but I don’t want to purchase another set of eyelashes when I still have do many unopened ones. I keep getting the darn things in goody bags. The next one I want to try will be the water ones.
I agree. I don't find false lashes appealing when they look over the top.
I've only ever tried once and it felt like I had a spider glued to my eyelids.
Shall pass on the falsies. Agree with you all, falsies look a spiders! LOL
I love to try them on occasions. My eyes become more defined and prominent. Though applying falsies is really frustrating sometimes. But it’s worth it the way they uplift my style.
I’ve liked it when someone else has put false lashes on me but I’m not confident to try it myself. It also worries me to put glue by my eyes. I think I do have some of the magnetic ones so I should dig them out and give them a go.
The water-activated ones look interesting. I don't mind false lashes but I don't like really exaggerated long lashes. Prefer a couple of wispies.
Tried to apply them but it was all too difficult. Practice would help but I'm happy to stay with mascara
I have never tried fake eyelashes, I don't think they are my kinda thing
Only for special occasions
Love all these lashes
