Can I have your quick opinion on something, please?

[bluebird08]

I voted yes!! Well, that's until I get really good at applying them. I just ordered a bunch of natural false lashes and I've been practicing until I get use to getting them on right. They really don't take that much more time (well, until I become a pro at it-LOL)...However, I only do the natural lashes because in my city there are too many girls walking around with "bat lashes" and that's not the look I'm going for!

 

[lilMAClady]

You can if you want but it would be too taxing on your natural lashes.

 

[MacAtFirstSight]

i think it's perfectly fine to wear falsies everyday if you wanted to. I myself wouldn't, because I find that it actually makes my eyes look a bit smaller, because the lashes are overbearing for my eyes... [weird]
but if you can rock it, do wear it

 

[eyeshadowinrain]

I have been thinking about wearing them everyday myself! No Lie!! They are like the only product that won't melt off during the summer and I can use a lot less mascara. Also, they look like you did the eyeliner on your top lid perfect! I usually use natural looking pairs so people don't really notice the are falsies, but they say that my makeup looks great or that my eyes are pretty!

I also think the more practice I get with them the faster I can apply them. It seems they kind of "break in" too, once you have worn and washed a pair a few times.

The only downfall in my opinion is I am afraid the glue may irritate my eyes after a while; )

So I say, "Yes definitely!!"

 

[xmizlynnax]

I love falsies but it's too much for me to wear them every day, too much time and effort =P Also, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with putting adhesive on my lashline every day.

 

[christinebezans]

wow, quite a dramatic change though, none the less

 

[cazgh]

I just bought my first pair of false bottom strip lashes. Unfortunately they look pretty poo in the box but for practising and seeing if its worth investing in some more expensive ones if they look good - they will definately do. False lashes rock!!

 

[revoltofagirl]

if you have the time to apply falsies everyday - go for it!

I voted "no" simply because I was blessed with rather long lashes so I just need to use mascara.

 

[mopan]

I voted no because for me, personally, I think falsies should be saved for special occasions. I hate my lashes too .. I'm half asian and I have the stubby, sparse lash gene. I also have asian freckles, but I learned to just deal with it. I want to love me for what I am, what I have.

I say if you have time, wear your falsies! But if you don't .. don't kill yourself over it. People are never as concerned with our appearances as we are. We we our worst critics!

 

[LASHionista]

no, it takes wayy to much time ...

 

[FiestyFemme]

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.

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)

 

[cupcake_x]

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

 

[mmitsjojo]

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.

 

[ladyJ]

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.

 

[MAC_Whore]

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.

 

[luvsic]

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.

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!

 

[CoralBlast]

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?
