Am wondering,are false eye lashes high maintenance?I use mascara everyday,thinking wouldnt it be nice to wake up,shower,do your hair and be on you way?(not sure whats going on with the red line folks)

Yes, maintenance......if you sleep with lashes you may find one missing in the morning.... like in your hair or  on the pillow....or you rolled over on it.  (smash)

Time consuming to clean & apply to lids, etc., etc.

It's not easy being beautiful......................(wink)

I wasn't aware that they were meant to be worn while sleeping.

I found them to be high maintenance, most likely because I wasn't very good at putting them on! Once on, they bugged me. Now I only use them for very special occasions, if at all!

@rms1954 They aren't....that is OP's hope.

You can get rather permanent ones but............in the AM they might look pretty funny with some 'hairs' going east and some going west.

Depends on how you hug your pillow!

I've noticed a lot more women (and young women) wearing false eyelashes.  As a result, I would think they have become less high maintenance.  But I'm the wrong person to ask as I don't wear them.  We do have women on this board that wear them often and would be able to give you a more accurate answer.

Wore them for years ...  they do not wear well over night.  If you yawn or your eyes water at night or in the morning the adhesive doesn't hold well ...  I never tried magnetic.  There is maintenance even during the day one side or the other pops off if your eyes are tired ...  but sleeping is not highly recommended.  I would take them off at night and leave them on the vanity ... in the morning you have to remove the old glue and put on fresh ...  my family referred to my eyelashes as "spiders" ...  I didn't mind the maintenance but mine were very, very fine.  If you do apply mascara to them, at some point they need to be cleaned.  You really need to try the lashes for yourself.  No one else can tell you if you think the "look" of lashes is worth the extra effort.  Only YOU can make that decision.

Hi @Luvsmyfam  With practice, & regularity, I've found that my chosen false eyelashes (see below) take no longer than applying layers of mascara, on my sparse real lashes.  

The trick is to make sure both  ENDS of your personally "trimmed" eyelashes are tacked down well.  Lots of YT videos on false eyelash application.

.. Now they even have colored "eyelash glue" so one could even skip the step of eyeliner.

(There's also "magnetic eyeliner," to use prior to applying "magnetic eyelashes."  I havent tried those yet, altho I have some.  I'm not in a hurry, cause I suspect it sounds too good to be true.)

On the "mascara" Q thread here, I posted several of my preferred style/brand eyelashes that I now use.  They're slight, nothing heavy or dramatic.  (They used to be called "demi lashes" when I was a teen)

.

• "Eyelure Naturals False Eyelashes Multipack, Style No. 020 Black, Reusable, Adhesive Included, 3 pair"  (Currently ($10, or $8.50 on subscribe........ even more reduced if bundled with other "subscribes*

• "Dorisue Short natural eyelashes false eyelashes natural wispy lashes 4 eyelashes pack lashes pack"  ($14 for pkg of 4 pairs)

i happen to have these on "subscribe," delivered every 2 mos, with Amazon online company.

I would NOT suggest wearing them to bed, for fear of damage to my eyes/lashes, or  I wake up& see a fallen false eyelash, & think its a BUG in my bed, and freak out  heh.

Good luck!
