Faux Eyelash Trend

Do you find they enhance/improve or distract from the wearer's appearance?

Distract. I don’t want anything that does not look natural on my face.

At least around here, women have them looking like caterpillars on their eyes. Completely ridiculous.

My girl friend has them....hers are short, very natural looking.

I have to ask her about how they 'wear' and if she uses mascara as well.

She is 2 years older than I am so I know what happens to lashes and brows as we age....and the only thing I noticed that she had more lashes than normal..so I knew they were faux.

I remember wearing faux eyelashes in the 70s when false eyelashes took on a more natural look. The eyelash style at the time was all about being understated and natural looking.

Now, it seems the trend is all about extra long, thick and curled false eyelashes which, in my opinion, is neither attractive or becoming.

I certainly know that they are fake when I see them on someone. Good or bad---meh--I don't care . I do have short, stubby lashes from going thru strong chemo-- and that was 12 years ago--but yesterday-- I had an especially good lashes day --don't wear mascara much but for some reason, the lash planets and stars aligned, actually looked like normal lashes!!!

I have a couple sets of fake lashes to play with------kind of fun!

I am not a fan of the look.

I wear them occasionally - at special functions, events, etc. I'm glad they've been trending and a lot of women look great.

Just like anything else - not everyone looks good in everything.

@wagirl what false lash brand are you finding easy to work with?

Re: Faux Eyelash Trend

theresa — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 16:05:19 GMT

@San Antonio Gal I can't find any pair that is easy to apply. I wore extensions for years and gave it up because they were irritating my eyes plus thinned my own lashes. Looking for self adhesive one.

@theresa - I wear the Kim Gravel self adhesive ones. There are a lot of negative reviews, but they work great for me. If you decide to order, you can always return them if you're not satisfied.

Good luck. Hope you find some that work for you.

The wispy ones look better than those dramatic ones which I believe are not trending as much any more.

@San Antonio Gal I tried hers but they didn't work for me so I returned

@theresa --got them at Target, one is Ardell, I think? They are in chunks of lashes in different lengths and one is Kiss--those are full lash arches---has been a hoot to try on--there is a learning curve--I am not looking for a full on, lash-- just a hint of full lashes.

If they look natural ok but a lot of them look like Halloween is everyday....a lot look over done and way too much. Also everyone wearing the over done look are starting to look a like.

I think some are so long, they look ridiculous. Like Bambi.

Someone was being interviewed on the news. I was so distracted by those mega-lashes, I have no idea what she said.

Save the planet, respect nature. . . but look as much like an AI image as you can. Don't for goodness sake LOOK natural!

The Mr. Data shiny look is long overdue to disappear, but it doesn't. My husband showed me an AI image yesterday and I said "No. It's just a lot of highlighter." He had no idea.

The other day I was watching Kim Gravel and model Sheila was demostrating wearing Kim's self adhesive 'Glam' eyelashes on Sheila they looked very natural. I've always been tempted to try fake lashes but always felt too self conscious, I think they look nice on people who wear them that are not too obvious looking.
