You don't notice the damage until you stop getting the fills.  I have given them up and luckily with the use of Revitalsh for about 3 months, mine are basically back to normal but the extensions are damaging.  I now use the KISS trio lashes to fill in or for special ocassions for the vavavoom look.  They are easier than individuals and so much more natural looking that a strip lash.


 

@NJgirl 1205  That's one of the things I had heard about lash extensions.  Ugh.  They look so pretty, but as much as I'd like to try them, I think I'm too afraid to take a chance.  Thanks for the reply.

Every day?    

 

Where could you work that this would be an acceptable look?

@Tinkrbl44

A couple of my younger co-workers wear false eyelashes on a regular basis at my workplace and it's not really frowned upon. I think it has become somewhat of a"fad" with the younger set.

Thank you too!  I've considered them so many times, but I do NOT want to damage my lashes.

Re: Do you wear false lashes?

The lash lift treatment that @Irshgrl31201  mentioned earlier looks really interesting. My lashes are so straight and never hold a curl. My only concern would be the ammonia , perm-like solution. I would hate for it to burn my lashes away!Woman Surprised

Re: Do you wear false lashes?

Sorry that I'm a little late to this conversation. Back in the early 1970's I was having fun, dressing up with a platinum blond wig, false eyelashes, and outfits like hot pants and boots that were a fad at that time. Those were crazy times and it was just being playful with all the options available. That was then. Haven't done that since. Wish I had a photo to share.

@Tinkrbl44 Um... anywhere.  False lashes come in all shapes and sizes.  They don't all look mega-glam.  Some just look like normal lashes.

Re: Do you wear false lashes?

I guess (once again) I'm the odd ball but I prefer longer straight lashes to curled lashes.  My eyelash curler goes unused.

Re: Do you wear false lashes?

I don't even wear makeup every day, much less false lashes. I wear glasses and my false lashes scrape up against the lenses when I blink. I do rarely use the smaller cluster lashes at the outer edges of my lashes.

Re: Do you wear false lashes?

No....never even tried to put them on.  I'm like some of you.  Thank goodness that's the one thing that I still have that's good.  Ha!  

 

I grew up in the 60's so eye makeup has always been important to me.  Now I line the inside rim (IT waterproof) and wear only (forever) Maybelline Waterproof mascara.
