I had a customer with the prettiest curliest lashes I'd ever seen and she wanted lashes for her super fun night she had planned. Well, putting the #7s on her was a pain and they looked so weird! I then went for the outer corner lashes, which looked much more natural and just elongated her natural curly lashes. These looked gorgeous!!!
My suggestion is for anyone with super curly lashes to try individuals or just the outer corner ones. They will look more natural and super fab!
Oh, and adding...I dont recommend putting mascara on falsies if you plan on reusing them.

Girl, I plan to buy me some of these. Now a quick update. I was going out on the town this past weekend and desperately wanted to try the falsies. So I put on my Ardell Lashes. I could see my lashes underneath them slightly as I could not get the two to blend at all. But, damn those lashes looked good. I thought it is dark in the club anyway so noone will see and I was off. I am now officially in love.

All it takes is practice, so buy some inexpensive ones to start with and then when you get the hang of it, buy better quality ones. I'm waiting for 4 pairs of red cherry to come through the post yay!

I LOVE RED CHERRY!

Which ones did you get?

You just have to be gentle and paitient taking them off with the remover or you will pull your natural lashes out. Putting them on is pretty easy too.

My lashes are short and curly too. Putting a half strip of lashes to my outer edge works best.
I have tried individuals and it always looks like spiders are having a picnic on my eyes.....lol.

Looking forward to your input.

Hey check out this link

www.eeyelash.com

I buy these UNDERS and use them on clients with curly lashes. They are a bit shorter than top lashes, but because they are UNDERS - they have the right amount of curl to work nicely for you. Prices are reasonable as well.

Look at the whole site, they have great lashes!

HTH!

I am going to have to try some of the suggestions here. I love the look of false lashes, but have yet to even master putting them on. I am such a dipshit when it comes to applying them.

I think some practice is in order. Lots and lots of practice cause nothing is worse than having your makeup look flawless, and screwing everything up because you can't put your lashes on.
