Curly Lashes+False Lashes=Disaster!! HELP

[Goat Goat Etc.]

I have naturally curly eyelashes and would like to once in a while wear a pair of falsies over them. However my lashes are bucking broncos and refuse to give way.

Anyone wanna be a hero and tell me how it's done?
Cause I know it's possible.

thats an easy problem 2 fix - eye curler and mascara will be ur best friends on this one. id love 2 have reallly curly lashes i think it woul make the falsies look alot nicer - but thats just me! i knw ur thinking ur lashes are already curly and y the hell u need a curler but just try it and then put a coat of mascara over ur lashes. and then just keep practising applying the lashes! it should be a problem. u should post a picture up with the lashes on - id love 2 see!

Do I use the curler upside down or....?

 

[dietcokeg]

no i wouldnt say that would matter - just use the right side up it whould work!

Thanks I'll try it!

I have super curly short lashes that makes placing lashes impossible, so I understand your pain.

I do what you mentioned earlier. I use an eyelash curler upside down to release the curl of my lashes and so I can place the lash strip at the base of my lashes. Its works great and it keeps your curly lashes from pushing away the falsies.

Does curling your lashes often make your lashes more fragile? More fallout than usual?

 

[DigitalRain]

I don't use falsies often, so I don't have to use my curler much. I have heard of some ladies who ended up with sparse lashes from wearing falsies daily.

The same thing happens to me when I try to put on falsies, but somehow i manage. Thank god for clear glue. Since my lashes are curled nicely already I could never justify getting a lash curler. But maybe I'll try it out 'cos I love false eyelashes nonetheless.

I heard it makes them stronger of all things.

But I'd imagine the stresses of lash glue and pulling and putting on the falsies would also make your lashes weaker.

I've curled my lashes practically every day for the past 2 years. I'd say they're still fine!

Maybe Koren's video will help you out?

Yea, seen that one he did. Tried it out, no luck.

I have curly lashes too. I would suggest applying the lashes underneath the lash line instead of on top. (on the water line). This works for me and it looks really natural even if you go with a slightly longer length.

This is what I have to do, too....my lashes are SUPER SUPER SUPER curly and there is no way I can get them on top of my water line....so what I do apply corner lashes underneath. (I also have small eyes, so anything more than a corner lash is too much for my eyes). Ive found that you really have to make sure the glue is super tacky before you apply them...otherwise, its glue in your eye and/or they won't stick.

Goodluck!

^Omg this thread is awesome. I too have super curly eyelashes and have had trouble applying falsies. I'm definitely going to try some of these tips. The eye lash curler one might solve another one of my problems which is applying liquid eye liner... It always ends up in my lashes because of the curl.

 

[KeshieShimmer]

I agree great post. I blame me horrid application of liner on my curly lashes.

You can get it on your top waterline?

Precisely, I think I hear ppl saying not to get this in your eye ever. Is it safe to do?

 

[Goat Goat Etc.]

Also how long would the glue last? I'd think fluids would naturally retard the tackiness.

And then removing them? Is there any "ow"- factor?
