It seems everyone is wearing false lashes these days. I have never used them but see them in the store . I know you glue them on, but then do you take them off every night? and do you use each set or piece only once? I wonder how you take them off without pulling out your own lashes?

Thanks for any input

One of my friends had some put on at a salon..I have no idea how long they can wear them..I think I would be a little skittish!

I would recommend that you watch YouTube videos on this subject. What I do know is that when you start wearing them your natural lashes thin out and that is not good. I know some people saw their lashes are never the same. That is why I did not start wearing fake lashes.

Thanks. Yes I know they have lash extensions at the salon. They look great on people but I would not want to do anything that lasts for weeks. I am just trying to figure out the over the counter lashes--do you only use them once?

I use them and my lashes are just fine. Just remove them gently. I agree with pas4116, watch YouTube videos. I found them to be tremendously helpful. If it's just a one time occasion, why don't you go to a MAC counter and have them put the lashes on you. You can still save in reuse those lashes several times if you choose.

I wear them when we go out for a special occasion. I think they're too dramatic for everyday. JMHOP.

I wore false lashes for years, & it took years to grow mine back!

I don't wear them daily, but I do wear them 2 or 3 times a year. They are VERY hard on one's lashes. They do damage lashes so I rarely wear them.

I know some women who use them daily, and they now have NO lashes.

The lash extensions also damage one's lashes. I just stick to volumizing mascaras for the most part.

I have worn a full lash occasionally and seem to lose a few of my own when removing them. However, I prefer the little clusters - just two or three sets from the middle of my eyes down to the outside corners really make my eyes pop and don't seem to do any damage to my real lashes. I use eye make up remover and let it set for a bit before carefully pulling off the clusters. Those look so natural that most people don't notice I am wearing them but will stare or comment on how nice my lashes look. They are easier to apply than the full strips too. Takes a little experimenting but the payoff is worth the effort to me.
