All of us girls know that when planning a night out whether
it’s a big one or simply just a night with the girls that the essentials are
crucial. Now I know it’s not for everyone but I am a liner and lashes kinda
girl on a night out. The main essential I need to look glam is a pair of false
lashes, without wearing falsies, my eyes feel naked and bare. They are the key
to dressing up my face and I rely on them more than any other item of make-up
to get me in the mood to party.
It is frustrating that when paying between £5 and £10 each
time for them, they are going to be ruined in a matter of hours. I have tried
dozens of makes and styles and although now I wear them regularly, when I first
started I constantly took forever trying to apply them and I was useless. But
after practice and time I got better so I thought I’d share are a few hints and
tips along the way.
It was great when a
friend told me about these little beauty’s from Ebay and within hours I decided
to give them a go and had placed an order. At only £3.50 for ten pairs of
lashes I thought it must be too good to be true (as things that seem it usually
are), but after three days they turned up and looked pretty promising.
So putting them to the test...I thought I’d try them out on a
night out in Sheffield, when I took them out of the casing I realised how big
they were compared to others, normally I have to cut lashes down anyway as my
eyes are small but these I had to cut a considerable amount off. This was not a
problem really but I did have to cut a section of each end so that I kept the
outline neat for my eye.
My only real fault with the lashes is that they have a flimsier
lash band than others I have used (so be careful when removing them from the
packaging). Due to the flimsiness they take a little more time to apply as you have
to mould them to the shape of your eyes slightly more than normal. What I do is
either bend them into a C shape to stop them lifting at the ends, or either
curl my eyes lashes beforehand so there isn’t a gap between the false ones and
my real lashes.
I suggest that when applying them to the eye press down on
either end for 10-15 seconds avoid applying too much pressure, but just enough
to allow the glue to take to the eyelash and hold in place. Some people use tweezers
but I find these more of an annoyance and prefer using my fingers.
Avoid this glue! Although I have found that cheap lashes can be just as good
as the expensive ones, my top tip is to not use the glue provided with these
lashes as it tends to leaves the lashes peeling at the end and in general is
rather rubbish. I have a selection from the brands I have used and Eylure is the best
but I would also say if you’re a regular user then to invest in a big tub of
eyelash glue.
Once on they felt natural and comfortable on my eyes and in
minutes forgot they were there, this was a good factor as some can irritate and
hurt my eyes and with the small price tag I was dreading that this would happen. They last well all night and rarely need anymore glue to keep them on and in place. If you are more careful than me and on the odd time I do
manage to save them at the end of the night, then peel off the excess glue left on and wipe down with a
face wipes and you can reuse the lashes again and again.
Overall I would advise you to try these Ebay bargains whether you’re a regular
wearing or a first time trier. The length is just enough to give emphasize on
the eyes, and on a night out add eyeliner, eye shadow and a lovely shade of lipstick to volumize the lashes
or if it’s a simple daytime look you’re going for just add a touch of mascara
and your good to go.
What are your favorite lashes and tips?
