EYE TALK
Fake eyelashes has been around in the beauty industries for a long time. The trend is getting even hotter nowadays. With advancement in technology, the fake lashes are getting more natural and some are made of real human hair. From luxurious to dolly look.Eyelash extension is very popular too. You will need a professional to carefully “plant” the eyelashes on your natural ones with adhesive. They can be worn during swimming, bathing and sleeping too. With careful handling, they may last up to 2 weeks or more. You dont need to use mascara but if you do, do not use waterproof mascara. Constant rubbing of the lashes will shorten the “lifespan” of the extention.
Eyelash perming = ditch eyelash curler ??? Imagine having the perming lotion on your lashes… It is supposedly to be safe but some develope a bad reaction with the lotion.
I dont not use any of the above. Maybe I find it troublesome. Hahaha… I just apply my mascara…curl my lashes…..& that’s it. I am already happy with the results. : ) I guess I love my natural lashes… Maybe 1 day I will try the fake lashes… only on special occasions.. but there again… I may not too… Hahahaha.
I have friends that use fake eyelashes everyday. Isnt it a hassle? From using the adhesive to fitting it properly? Yes, you need to bring the adhesive out as well… My friends commented that with fake lashes all they just need is apply little eyeliner and they are ready to go.
Never buy cheap eyelash products such as adhesive etc. They may cause a nasty stinging reaction to your eyelids.. that’s not fun. Instead of having beautiful eyes, you end up with swollen ones. Hygiene is important too. Never re-use your fake lashes for more than 2-3 times (you will still need to clean them after each use).
Questions:
1) Any of you girls or even boys use any of the above eyelashes procedures? Care to share your experiences?
2) What kind of mascara do you prefer? Waterproof, Non Waterproof. Lengthening or Volumnizing?
3) Do guys like girls to use fake lashes?
