Let's Talk False Eye Lashes

Ela·
How to apply false eye lashes | They look good, however they are not easy to apply, find out which eye lashes to choose and how to apply.

Wearing false eye lashes is something I hardly do. It is like a love and hate relationship. I love the way they look on others, however, I always struggle wearing them. I remember trying like 5-10 minutes to get false lashes to look right on my eyes, so after a few unsuccessful attempts I hardly wear them. I only occasionally wear individual false lashes, but that's all about it. How about you?

I guess the first time I got false eye lashes was a few years ago around Christmas time. I just wanted my makeup to look all nice and since I don't have the thickest and longest lashes, I thought adding some falsies would change the whole look. I must say it was not easy to wear them and I was actually about to tear it apart. After this attempt, I just got a few cheap ones from Primark in order to practice putting false eye lashes. You should really do that if you're new to false eye lashes and you don't want to spend so much money on them. I would say don't go for the full thick false eye lashes for the beginning, as they are not easiest to apply.

Individual False Eye Lashes

They are the easiest to apply. Tweezers come really handy when you apply these ones, because they are really tiny (you need it for all others too, but especially for these). If you want a natural look, I'd suggest you to go for individual ones, so you can determine how many you want to use and you can choose from short to long, which you can't do with the full eye lashes.

Full False Eye Lashes

You can achieve dramatic or natural look with them, depending on which one you pick. If they are big for your eyes then you can always cut them and tailor it for your eye shape. 3/4 ones are good for small eyes too.

One of the mistakes I did was trying to apply them without letting the adhesive set, then I wasn't able to keep the lash still. Then it obviously didn't look right, so never forget to let it dry for 20-30 seconds then apply them.

Do you wear false eye lashes and if so which one do you prefer... individual or full ones? Any tip that would help me to put them on without hassle? And did you have any similar accidents like me? I hope I'm not the only one who's struggling...

You are just like me... I seriously cannot put these things on!! I love the way they look, but end up looking like an idiot when I try and apply them myself. I definitely prefer the full ones and the individual lashes as they don't really do much for me.. Great post! Thanks for the tips! www.wunderbliss.blogspot.ca

I struggle just like you. Whenever I practiced, I get wear out of them, but then there are months without applying any and I end up ruining my makeup in the attempt to put them on. I find individual ones even harder to wear. Do you plan on wearing some for your wedding?

I like false lashes only if they look very natural. I've only worn them very few times, though. Individuals are very easy to put on, in my opinion, and I like the fact that you can customize them to suit your own needs. Full stips are definitely harder to use. For some reason, the first one I put on always looks great, while the second one not so much... I should definitely practice more! http://carolinapage.eu

Individual ones look more natural than full ones but all of them are hard to apply. I always leave tweezers mark on the lashes, I guess I am pressing so hard.

I wouldnt have the patience to apply individuals, and barely wear false lashes at all, but my go to is always Eyelure Fleur Loves, they are 3/4 sized so no digging into your eyes, the band is also very slim, so they are really comfortable - so comfortable that last time I wore them I almost forgot I had them on when I was removing my makeup! Highly recommend them :) http://www.makeerinover.co.uk

Eyelash extension is a great option however you can't really use every mascara with them (you should use water based not oil based) otherwise they just fall off. My sister in law had it for her wedding and because of wrong mascara they were ruined. xx

Nope, I don't use falsies at all because the application scares me and I had horrid experience with them before.

Letting the glue dry properly has changed my false lash life! I also always bend them to my eye shape so the edges stay stuck down better, if that makes sense.

i dont wear falses lashes since they butt up against my lenses and they look too artificial. i know some girls that wear them every.single.day and use the most dramatic non-natural kinds. its definitely a look and paired with circle lenses it lends a super wide-eye doll appearance which they like but...it feels too obviously false for me. i do like the idea of lashes htough and there are more 'natural' designs but i still feel like i'm too 'done up' with them on.

Great post! I really like the fact that they take your eye makeup to a completely new glam level..but I have heard adhesive for setting falsies can cause eye allergies..is it true? https://deckedupbeauties.wordpress.com/2015/10/31/revlon-ultra-hd-lip-lacquer-in-garnet-%E2%99%A5/

Agree with you! I read some news about it and photos weren't looking good. I guess it is best to go for trusted adhesives instead of unknown.

Thank you for these great tips! I've always felt the same way about false lashes...but will at least try out individual ones now, I think :) Christina ♥ https://caliope.name

Individual ones are easy, at least easier than full ones :) x

Love what difference they can make your makeup look I always Duo glue with them not the glue that comes with them as it is does not irritate my eyes! www.MyBeautySleuth.com

Duo glue is one of the best so it is good to go for a known brand!

Wooohh i have tried it once and never have it afterwards It's difficult to remove and ruin your natural lash Any ways, i still love the effect when you have it <a href="http://www.thebandwagonchic.com/" rel="nofollow">The Bandwagon Chic</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/thebandwagonchic/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/bandwagon-chic-14303811" rel="nofollow">Bloglovin</a> | Snapchat: bandwagonchic

Great post! I am a contact lenses wear so fake lashes can be a little awkward for me... I tried wearing falsies once, but really couldn't get them to stick! I do admire them on others, though. :) <3 Kay http://shoesandglitter.blogspot.com

I can't get them to stick too, always one bit is sticking out. I do admire the look too, I just have to keep practicing :) x

Of all the things I wish I knew how to do in terms of makeup, it's putting on false lashes. For the life of me I can't do it but I think they look so good and it's nice for a special party or something as it just adds that bit more glamour which mascara, no matter how good it is just can't do. One day I will master this xx <a href="http://www.franklyflawless.com" rel="nofollow">franklyflawless.com</a>

EB
Ela BellaWorld2 Nov 2015

Before I took the photo, I tried to apply them (full ones) after 10 minutes I just gave up. End bit was always sticking up, I ordered Fleur's 3/4 ones and maybe I will get lucky them and master it :) xx

Lina Khalifa1 Nov 2015

Honestly I've never tried putting on false lashes except maybe once, I feel like I can never get it right! I like to think that individual lashes will be easier to apply and more natural looking? Even though when I tried putting them on I used full lashes. Let me know if you master the technique x <a href="http://lina-khalifa.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">lina-khalifa.blogspot.com</a>

Ela BellaWorld2 Nov 2015

Individual ones are definitely easier to apply and it gives more natural look. I will keep practicing and see if I can manage to get better :) x

I found my favoruite set Kiss Sultry Lashes! They look so natural on the eye, I hardly ever wear false eyelashes, but for night out these are my fav x

Oh man I am the worst at applying false lashes! My hand gets all shaky as soon as I get close to my eye and then it is all crooked on my eye lid!! I will have to give the individual lashes a try that would probably work much better for me!! xx Lauren Blame It On Barneys www.blameitonbarneys.com

Ela BellaWorld2 Nov 2015

Start with individuals, that's what I am trying to get used to at the moment :) When I try to apply full lashes, I always blink and I can't do it properly :) xx

I have only tried full ones, and I can confirm that you have to have patience and wait for the adhesive to set lol. We live, we learn ;) One of my recent eye lash attempts is here - https://instagram.com/p/8uxMm2JtaG/?taken-by=mielandmint I don't wear them often but so nice to add them to make your makeup look a little more special ;) I definitely want to try and use individual lashes next time <3 xox Nadia http://mielandmint.blogspot.co.uk/

I love love love lashes of all kinds! My least favorite though is lash extensions. It reaked havoc on my existing lashes once they grew out. as fun as they were to have i'll never do that again. www.westcoastwives.com

Ela BellaWorld12 Nov 2015

Lash extensions look good however I've heard some bad things about it so I won't ever get them and stick to fake lashes :)

Hi Ela, now I am in Asia I see false lashes every-where! The amount of choices is incredible, so of course I have been playing around with them, I seem to prefer the type that is half length and goes out at the outer corners, but they do make my eyes a bit reddish, no matter what glue I use :( great shot btw, you should frame it and put it on your makeup desk ;) :P x Josune, Your Beauty Script ❤ http://yourbeautyscript.com/

EB
Ela BellaWorld12 Nov 2015

Asian markets have so many pretty ones, jealous of you now :) You shouldn't use them a lot then or try out different glues maybe you find a good one which won't make your eyes red. Thank you so much :) x

Strip ones look fab however I find them hard to apply so until I get good at it I will use individuals :) xx

Brenda BusyBee4 Nov 2015

I don't often wear false lashes - Most of the time I just can't be bothered! I have quite long lashes anyway so if I get the right mascara, i can get quite a defined, fluttery lash. You are tight though, it is very importnant to let the glue go tacky before trying to apply them :) xx <a href="http://www.brendabusybee.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Brenda BusyBee</a> | <a href="http://www.brendabusybee.co.uk/2015/10/vitamins-to-protect-you-in-winter-giveaway.html" rel="nofollow">Win Simply Supplements Vitamin D3 2000iu and Selenium with Multivitamins & Iron</a>

I've struggled to figure out false lashes for years! I either give up or get them on only for them to fall off while I'm out. You are definitely not alone Ela! Amy | <a href="http://dervishdarling.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dervish Darling</a>

My favourite lashes in the world are the Ardell demi wispies. Super affordable yet so beautiful and fluttery. They are so easy to wear as the band is so so thin. I hate lashes with thick band which makes lash application harder for me. Love the post. Sara Ali | www.saraswonderland.com

I haven't tried anything from Ardell now I know what I will try the next time, they look so pretty. xx

I'm with you here. Sometimes I try applying false lashes and it's a mess so I give up. Other times it works out and I really like how they look! I've found it looks best to apply a thick band of black eyeliner first then go back over it after the lashes are on to make it blend better. I prefer the whole lashes... Ardell's Demi Wispies are my favorite! Morgan www.monde-et-mode.com

EB
Ela BellaWorld21 Nov 2015

That's a great idea, I will definitely give it a try like that and see if I can manage to get it look right!
