Since you are new to lashes, start out with Eylure lashes.
They are FORMED to fit the eye, so you don't have to bend them in place.
Most lashes seems curvy due to they stick them on a plastic curve in the box.
But once you peel them off, they are almost stright and hard to place correct, when you are not used to work with lashes.
Eulure lashes will never lift in the corner of the eye, and IF they do, they don't pop out like other lashes.Check them out on: http://www.eylure.com/
#107 and #110 are my favorites. Add tiny Swarovski stones to make they super-glam in any color you like, use flatbacks in SS5 or SS6. The stones are cheapest at http://www.danceshopper.com
Have fun 🙂

That diary of an angry stripper link was handy. I didn't know you could put make-up on first then add lashes.I thought the lashes wouldnt stick if there was a load of makeup as a base. I had given up wearing lashes because I couldn't get the rest of my makeup on after. I shall have to give that a go!

So I must say, the duo lash adhesive is awesome. I bought the black/dark glue and I love how it dries and looks. Got mine at walgreens for $6 or $7. GREAT DEAL!!! Now just need to find the perfect lash. The ones I wore tonight were too big and made me feel like a drag queen. Don't get me wrong – Drag queens are awesome, I just don't think it is a good look for me :o)
Buy this adhesive – You wont be disappointed!

I usually wear colorful eyelashes to match my makeup or hair.

I absolutely adore fake eyelashes! Here are my best tips:
1) Apply eyeshadow and eyeliner first. You can use pencil eyeliner, you can use a small brush (get it slightly damp) and create a liner look with eyeshadow, or you can use liquid liner.
*Handy hint for those who aren't feeling confident about liquid liner, line you eyes with a pencil or eyeshadow liner first and use that line as a guide to apply liquid liner over.*
2) Curl your eyelashes! I like to use metal curlers, and I hit it with a quick blast of warm air from my blowdryer. Like 5 seconds, just warm! NOT HOT!!! Do not burn your eyelashes or eyes!!!
3) Apply mascara. Allow to FULLY DRY. Like 10 min. Use this time to prep your fake lashes.
**When using eyelash glue, apply a tiny bit to the end and let it dry for 30 sec to a min, it will get more tacky when exposed to air for a little while. The more patience you have, the better results you will have.
I've used every type of lash, and I prefer single "grouped" lashes. Basically a little ball of glue with 2-3 lashes attached. I start in the middle of each eye and attach one carefully with my fingers. I keep my eyes half open so I can see the placement.
This will get much easier with practice. Do this several times, not 20 min before you have to be somewhere important!! It's best to practice on a regular day off, nothing like grocery shopping in jeans and full false lashes!
If you just want a simple "winged" look, you can use strip lashes, and cut off a small section to glue to the edges of the lashline. This will make an accentuated full model look.
False eyelashes RULE!!!

Thank You for this. I will try it.
I too am allergic to latex and when people have smart remarks about it I explain seriously "No manisthat good lol…& that wasn't an orgasm only anaphylactic shock" and leave it at that.
