False eyelashes. Love or hate them?

I never even thought about false eyelashes until our make up artist started incorporating them into the tutorials and making it look so easy. She teaches how to cut them to size, decorate them for New year parties, stack them ( yes you can put on more than one pair at a time for hotter smokier looks!). The models look amazing. In fact, I was a model for our Halloween collection ( watch out I was Fire Woman and the Pink Pirate!!) and had them applied. They looked great, very sexy, but I kept thinking they might fall off, and maybe my imagination but they felt heavy!! Since then, I have found a wonderful lash enhancer through a good friend, and I tend to use the lash enhancer and my mascara for a look that is pretty close to a false eyelash. While visiting here in the UK, and researching make up and beauty here ( what a chore!!!) I noticed lashes that already have a glue strip on them and it is said that you can use them several times. Well, this was interesting because part of the issues I also have with false eyelashes is fiddling with the glue!! So, what is your thoughts on false eyelashes and do you wear them, and how many people have stacked them? I have added a couple of pics from our Halloween collection DVD. Remember I am the pink pirate and the fire woman. LOL!!

not to stick my mascara in my eyes, I can't see that up close without my glasses.
The only problem with anything that has glue already on it, is the fact that the glue becomes unsticky. And not
all at the same time. Did you bring any of them home to play with?; ▶ Reply to This

If you use them often, sometimes your lash will come out with the false one. I have heard this from a few people. I don't know enough about then to know how true this is, or if it just happens to a few people.; ▶ Reply to This

The glue doesn't touch your skin because the lashes are glued onto your real lashes. They cost about $300.00 a set and two hours to put on and after that touch ups can be as much as $20.00 a lash!
There is a whole list of things you are not to do and one is wear mascara! I don't know if its worth it to me but some seem to think so.; ▶ Reply to This

Maybe it's better to use mascara and sometimes flase eyelashes..lol...; ▶ Reply to This
