I think the pendulem swang too far into ridiculous territory and now it's swinging back.  Since I only wear makeup once a week, I'm just not willing to deal with the learning curve to apply and trust them to stay in place.  I would probably only be able to do the small partial ones with my eye size/shape anyways or else have to cut them to fit which would be another issue.  I have enough problems with feeling like there's something in or on my eyes and if they started itching I would probably end up accidentally pulling them off.  So, I guess I'll just have to stick with growth serums an mascara. 

I am going to attempt dyeing my brows though.  Besides being sparse, they're now turning gray and the pomade I use doesn't stick to the gray so I have to do a 3-step process on them.  No eyebrow stenciling for me though.  I don't like that look either.

I have never worn false eyelashes. I have never been interested in wearing them.

@Shelbelle   Hi!  I also prize my long-ish (I file them down) natural nails.

Now, on the subject of false eyelashes.  I rarely use makeup anymore except when I have an occasion/function to attend.  I've always used mascara but because I now use it sso infrequently, the 2 or 3 I have tend to dry out and produce a "clumpy" mess that that I HATE. 

Even when I buy NEW mascara before an event, I simply can't achieve the look they have on air (or on the box)

QUESTION:  I've heard about "tattoo" eyelashes?  I wonder what they are and if that would solve my problem.

Since you don't care I am not going to waste my time tracking down the article I read. Why should anyone care? Well just because you don't, doesn't mean other people don't. I'm sure there are lots of people who care. This is a beauty forum. False eyelashes fall under that category. I found the article interesting but I am in no way shape or form going to change what I'm doing just because someone says it's trendy not to wear them. I love my lashes and as long as I can see to put them on, I will continue to wear them even if that means I'm outdated.  To repeat myself yet again, if I like a trend I will follow it, if I don't I won't.

What others wear doesn't bother me one way or the other.  I certainly wouldn't let teenage girls wearing false eyelashes make me sick and tired.

wispy lashes that just look like long lashes

this is what I wear. I put some new ones on today and had to cut two clusters off of the end. I like the lashes but I don't like having to cut them.

When I was in high school my natural lashes touch the bottoms to the centers of my eyebrows. I was constantly having to prove that they were natural. The lashes I wear now aren't as long as mine used to be but they are still long.

That's too bad. I know there are different glues for those who have sensitivities but I don't know what they are

I colored my hair last week and came thisclose to wiping some color on my brows. Actually I would have used a spoolie to apply the color. I just didn't have the courage to do it.

@monicakm  You should continue to wear your glam false lashes whenever you want! I read that skinny jeans are "out" and I still wear mine.  Glittery highlighter is "out" and I still rock mine.  Who determines what's out anyway? If it still looks great, keep rocking it- that's what I say! Look- even Hello Kitty rocks false lashes!
