Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

I wouldn't personally do it. My lashes are fine with just mascara, so I save falsies for more dramatic looks or for special occasions. They're too much work for me to wear everyday, but if you want to do it, go for it! The same thing doesn't work for everyone, but you should do what works for you.

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

This girl I know from Philly had "permanent lashes" put on, I would totally do it on a regular basis if anyone did it around here, cause I hate my wimpy lashes. I get so much compliments, drinks, attention with my falsies lol. Like my lashes are practically non-existent. If you have long lashes, thank your momma, daddy, god, whoever cause you are lucky, you better work!

OMG. WORD.

cazgh - yay! good luck and have fun with your falsies!

thanks again for the input everyone! yeah, I actually did something sneaky yesterday I trimmed my falsies so they would be more "natural" looking. So right now, instead of having falsies on, they just look like really thick, plush lashes cause they're not as long anymore. The only problem is applying them carefully enough to hide the band.

I'm off to attempt to reapply my makeup in under 20 minutes now! :O (it usually takes me 45 to get it PERFECT...sad I know)

No, not at all. If I could apply them well I'd wear them everyday too!

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

if i could do it fast enough and not mess up everytime, i would put it on everyday as well. I dislike my asian lashes =( and if it makes you feel better about yourself why not? It's not like you're doing it for others, you're doing it for yourself.

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

If that's what you want to do then go for it. It isn't too much in my opinon. If you really want longer lashes then you may want to save your money to get lash extensions or they have this new medication eye drops called Latisse. If you are willing to spend money on fake lashes everyday, then you might want to invest money in this instead. That way you can just put on mascara and go.

Personally though I would not wear falsies everyday. I don't even wear make up everyday. I have really bad skin that I want to cover up all the time but I simply don't do it because I am too lazy in the morning before class. I rather get more zZzzzZ in then to do my makeup. I usually just put sunblock on and I'm out.

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

For me, no. I don't have the time, desire or patience to do it everyday.

For you....If you have the time, skills, and money to use them everyday and it makes you happy, why not. It's your face and you should do what makes you happy.

That said, I would be concerned that the constant use of lashes and lash glue might be a bit much for your eyes. I think it would be healthier to take a few days off here and there and to make sure you didn't reuse lashes beyond what is healthy.

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

To be honest that is what I'm worried about the most. The time it takes. I don't think money is that much of an issue because I clean my lashes and they're pretty good for a month or a little longer.

As for the harsh effect it has on real lashes...that is true too. I try to replenish my lashes by using Vaseline on them nightly, but I don't know how well that works.

I've already done this look for 2 days straight and it takes about 30 minutes to do my makeup, and that's if i'm doing it kind of fast! *sigh*...I guess there's a price for everything. But surprisingly my lashes stay on at the gym no problem. But still 30 minutes is WAY too long, and I want to be careful with my makeup so I don't look , not to mention, what if I want to do my hair at schoool? I'll be in my bathroom for an hour or more. Since I'll have 8 am classes, I'll have to wake up at 6 cause I live 20 minutes away from school *dies*...but I guess I'll just have to have more disciplined and go to bed at no later than 10 (I need my 8 hours or more at night. Ugh, or even 9pm?! Man that's just unlike a college kid!!). I'm also getting so used to this face I'm putting on that I just REALLY don't feel comfortable going out without it, which is kind of a bad sign as well.

I'll try to experiment for a few days, maybe get the procedure down to 15 minutes, and see what I feel then.

I've looked into Lattisse but I'm not really interested in trying it. Also, I've heard constant use of extensions can weaken the lashes a lot as well. Thanks for the advice ladies.

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

I've said it before, many times, throughout the years!


You could wear an old potato sack, but as long as you have your lashes on...you are dressed!




Fortunately, for us though in our current modern culture, it isn't necessary for us to be "dressed" ALL the time. And we appreciate those who respect the difference and adhere to the "Unspoken Rules" of casual beauty...inner-so, as well as outwardly.

It's a thing of beauty when you're able to embrace and LOVE the not-so-dressy side of one's self.

It's makes the special occasions all the more special!


P.S.
It really does take the drama out of a daily routine if you're able to cut and divide those babies when you applying them to your daily look. Cut them into threes. Divide 'n' Conquer!

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

it's all about confidence, how you feel and if falsies help you feel better go ahead. they don't have to be the porcelain doll kind where you end up looking like a puppet and someone is pulling your strings to work out.
personally it would take skills i don't have and sometimes wearing eyeliner or pencil makes my eyes hurt escpecially trying to take it off, so the pain would inhibit any effort.

don't feel bad about enhancing your beauty with make up that's what it's for, i have been told i look plain without it and star like with it, so why wouldn't i want to look like a star?

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

i can pull off a "no-make up" with minimal makeup... but i believe that if you have time to do the necessary steps to make yourself feel confident then why not? i mean, honestly at the end of the day its all about you and how you feel... plus falsies are LOVELY!! They make such big difference on ANYONE.

Depends on how early in the morning I have to get up. I'm the furthest thing from a morning person, but if my first class isn't until 2, you can bet your makeup-loving tuchus I'm gonna wear me some whatever-I-feel-I-need-that-day.

Personally, I wouldn't because I don't need them. But I guess I would understand someone wearing them everyday if they needed them. If they look natural, it should be fine. (:

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

Sure, if I had the time, patience and skill I'd wear them. If someone asks why you are wearing falsies just say "I think it's easier than applying mascara, curling lashes and eyeliner" - not only will you look practical, but look skilled because you find applying falsies easy.

However, I think you should only do this if you're ok with people knowing they're falsies that way on the days you just can't put them on... you just don't. College gets hectic...

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

If you don't mind the time it takes ( it takes me forever) then wear them everyday. I personally won't cuz I have full lashes especially with a few coats of mascara. There's places in NYC that apply them and they last a week... Is that available where you live?

But its funny how I feel the same way about that natural beauty thing. I have a few dark spots from acne spots and I hate going out bare faced. I don't feel ugly but I hate the fact that sometimes I wanna go without makeup but don't cuz I don't feel confident to. Then I see people worst then me, everyone has flaws. The same person that's so "perfect" thinks something is wrong with her/him. But don't be too hard on yourself no one is really perfect.My point is do whatever makes YOU happy and feels GOOD but I'm pretty sure you are beautiful without

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

everytime i have tried to put them on i keep imagining there is a guy in the corner making fun of me saying how silly it is for me to torment myself trying to put them on ...... and then the image of Mel Gibson trying to wax his legs and getting electrocuted, it's tricky to look glamorous but we will try till we die!

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

I'm with you...i look waaay better with falsies on! Whether I go for natural or more bold looks, I use them all the time...although I use the demi lashes or the half lashes. They make a world of difference to my look! And since their not the full lash it only takes about a minute each to apply. Very simple and easy!

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

It's been so long since I've replied to everyone!

I just want to let you know that I'm back in school, and proudly sporting the falsies every day. I guess just part of me loves dressing up and doing the whole glamorous thing. Even if it's for the every day. Honestly, when I wear falsies, I feel better about myself, and I find myself strutting around campus with my head held up high XD silly ol' me. I catch more stares, too :O but they might be staring at the fakeness...lol who cares. I've learned how to blend them excellently.

And I am wearing a natural pair ... not like, dolly lashes haha.

Awww you guys are so sweet

Re: Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

I would not, partly because I've never tried falsies and haven't had a huge desire to...I'm pretty satisfied with what I've got. I'm sure if I try it and got a good result I would think otherwise! But everyday? Nah. It's annoying enough to do throw on undereye concealer when I'm running out the door, late for class.

Also, this is sort of silly, but I like to look not absolutely perfect on a regular basis so when the time comes to actually doll myself up (party, dance, birthday, whatever), then I look extra amazing

That is my philosophy also! I used to work in a place where everyone was always dolled up and it gets boring after a while...you need to see the change and variety in someone's looks IMO

I definitely know what you mean...so it's just "more special" come time to show off your look, huh. Lol I guess just for me I'm a falsie addict. I have a party pair and and everyday pair (I should clean these soon, probably..) the party pair is much more dramatic - I usually pair them with smokey eyes if I want that extra something. They're really thick and pretty.

I've always wanted to be one of those wake up and go girls, who can pull off the minimal makeup thing. But really, I just can't. I don't know what I'm going to do when I come out into the workforce and I have to wake up at 6 every day.... :/ or I don't know what I'll end up doing if I have 8am classes next semester...

Lilmamaj - haha I love my falsies too <333 a little too much I think.

Have you looked into eyelash extensions? These can look gorgeous, but you don't have the hassle of reapplying them every day!

Plus, you can always put on falsies over the extensions for a more 'wow' look for a special occasion

Why not wear them!? For me false lashes are like any other make up, or jewelry, or clothes!

I wear them everyday. I like the way they look on me and I have the time to apply them everyday. I'm not a fan of mascara so falsies are a better choice for me. And it's fun to collect so many different lashes.
