All about false eyelashes and extensions
85How to apply false eyelashes
This article about help in applying false eyelashes, and information on permanent, and semi permanent eyelashes. They are one of the most beautiful, striking attributes to a woman's face. Going back in time so far that even the Egyptians knew of their importance. Movie stars have all adorned beautiful full thick eyelashes for century's, and the most stunning being those who adorn full luscious black eyelashes. Applying mascara is a daily part of a vast majority of women of all ages every day regime. It can transform your looks from tired to bright eyed, and some of us need this so help applying false eyelashes can improve the look of your eyes. Until recently us women had to rely on a really good mascara to create a full lash, and even then we still lacked the long lashes of those glamorous women in the ads and movies. Now to buy false eyelashes is not only more accessible, but affordable and easily sourced.
False eyelashes
I love the feeling I get when I wear a good set of false eyelashes as I have long, but very fine natural lashes and can never get the really thick look.. Black false eyelashes are very easy to find and I think one of the best colours to buy. Whatever your eye colour, you will find they suit you and make the whites of your eyes much brighter and more defined.The picture to your right shows you how a make up artist really accentuates the eye with false lashes, and wouldn't we like to know how that same model would look without them. OK enough of me getting jealous, and now on to the good bits.
A tip for thicker eyelashes
Last year the UK alone spent on average 190 million just on mascara...can you believe that? The trouble with eyelashes compared to hair is eyelashes fall out after 3 months, whereas natural hair can take 3 years to fall out. So by the time the eyelash has grown to a decent length it drops out. This is why our eyelashes never seem to get thicker or fuller no matter how many treatments or tactics we use. Eyelash growth is something scientists are working on so watch this space. A tip for trying to thicken your eyelashes is by using Vaseline every night. Now whether this works is another matter, as I am still working on it.
Eyelash extensions, permanent false eyelashes
Apart from false eyelashes there is also a procedure called eyelash extensions, which is very similar to hair extensions, but obviously on a much trickier and smaller scale. You can purchase eyelash extension kits from any good eyelash retailer but I would advise you read up very carefully on how to apply false eyelashes, as it's a much harder way of getting a certain look. It can take several hours to implement this product but may last up to 6 weeks. You can swim and bathe as normal, and your extensions should stay in place. Each individual eyelash is glued to an individual lash giving double the volume. This can be an expensive way so many women turn to false eyelashes, which is a much cheaper option.
Today there are many false eyelashes on the market and
trying several different types is the best way forward. Decide whether
you want really glam ones for evenings out, or maybe you want more
natural effect ones to enhance what you already have. These can be
found online at a very reasonable price and some you can reuse over
and over again. You just need to follow the manufacturers instructions
on how to apply fake eyelashes and care for the eyelashes as stated.

Applying false eyelashes
Online beauty suppliers will have a very good range of false eyelashes, which will come in different colours, thickness, and glam levels. I would recommend for your first time to go for something a little more natural until you get used to the fuller effect. Even the natural ones can make a difference to your eyes. Some instructions tell you to apply your make up first, whilst others say afterwards. Personally I prefer to apply all your eye make up first except your mascara as this gives a cleaner finish.
Apply a very small amount of mascara to the eyelashes after you have glued them into place, and once applied build up until you have the desired effect. Obviously the more mascara you apply, the thicker and fuller the lashes will be. Again I will say if it's your first time wearing them, try not to go over board, and try leaving them without any mascara. Another good tip is to practise putting them on first, otherwise if you are doing it for a night out and it's your first time, you just know it will all go wrong.
Buying false eyelashes
- Revlon fantasy length false eyelashes: These false eyelashes are easy to use and do not fall off.
- Shany false fake lashes: A little more expensive but a great way to practise and try out different ones. Let's face it you wouldn't wear the same dress every time you went out so why wear the same eyelashes.
- Model 21 false eyelashes: These are really good as they look natural too. You can find a pack of 10 for around $17. Great value for money.
- Sephora brand flirt it lash duo false lashes: Well the name speaks for it's self but you can find it much cheaper online at around $9.
Eyelash tinting and eyelash perming
Another treatment that can enhance your lashes is tinting and perming. An odd concept for some I know but actual rollers are wound into the lashes and permanently curled to give you that lovely full curve. This can save time when you go on holiday as the tint will give the appearance of a little mascara and the perm will look as if you have used eye lash curlers.
From all the above options I would go for the false
eyelashes as these can be applied whenever you want them. Don't be put
off if like me you have tried them before and found you looked more
like a drag queen as the new products on the market are much easier to
apply and dry instantly so no slipping off. I was amazed considering
my eye sight of late has deteriorated that I could apply them very
well. As with anything in life sometimes you just need a little
practise and before you know it you will be whipping them on in
seconds.
Always remember to remove your falsies before bedtime as a crumpled eyelash doesn't bode well for a second use. Always store them away so you know they will not become damaged.

Hey! Hey! HEY! lol, Love this Hub!!! I love wearing false eyelashes!! GREAT HUB!!! Blessings!!! I became your Fan!
Thanks there hope you picked up a few hints.
Cheers Helen. False eye lashes really enhance the eyes but I thought they could only be worn for one day, so it put me off wearing them. Now I know we can get special ones for 6 weeks. I would love to have them done. (and not have to fiddle with them every morning). Just do them every 6 weeks. Thanks my Beauty Guru. :)
Just luv the hub great info by the way i luv lashes
Lady_E I agree false eyelashes used to be difficult but now they are so easy. Give it a go..
gurly: Thanks for visiting x
Very good hub. I rub my eyes too much to wear any lashes other than my own. However I just read, and, trying this suggestion. Don't know whether it will work or not. "Dip a cotton swab in a little petroleum jelly (vaseline), then swirl over your lashes, just before bedtime. Results will be: Thicker, stronger, more defined lashes, and in a few months, it'll help promote lash growth." Now that's what the advice is, I am just beginning the procedure, so I don't know whether it will work, but it doesn't hurt me.
I don't think it will do any of us any harm unless of course you are allergic to vasaline. I for one will give this a go. I am going on holiday soon, so will have my stash of falsies with me. Just hope the vaseline doesn't stop the lashes from sticking.
