Distracting! I have yet to see anyone in real life or on media, where that's not the first thing I see, and on which I stay focused!

I think it depends on the person and the lashes.  I have friends that have them and they are fab.  They add to the look and it works for them.  I have a bestie that is a real live "glamazon"  way over the top and that is what we adore about her.  I have had some applied for important events and I was fine with them.  I believe it is what ever makes you happy!

I must mention that even thick, over-done mascara can look like thick, 'dramatic' faux eyelashes.

I can't quite get the hang of putting them on and looking natural on me so I just never wear them.

 

The only time that I wore false lashes was when I had a professional makeup artist do my makeup for my DD's wedding.  She got them to look natural and attractive on me.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I recall wearing faux eyelashes way, way back.

 

Was it in high school?  I don't recall when.

 

But, they didn't seem overly distracting.  I remember using some sort of glue.

 

I obviously haven't used them since that time.

 

I like the idea of the self-adhesive type as described here.  I believe Kim Gravel's were mentioned.

Re: Faux Eyelash Trend

[ Edited ]

I wore them for a while and loved the ease of not needing to worry with mascara, between that and microblading my brows I was in heaven. But then covid hit and I gave up both. I really don't miss them, they were so expensive to keep up.

@occasionalrain On people who know what size and style suits them, they look good. Sometimes i see a woman who looks like she has caterpillars on her eyes and that looks ugly.

I think the ones that are too long & curled up look tacky.

I think the super long ones look ridiculous.  I don't know anyone who wears them that I know of.  If they do, they are wearing very natural looking ones.  I doubt I'd have the dexterity to apply them and have them look natural.  I find the ones that are in sections to be the most appealing since I have rather small, round eyes, so the full ones would have to be cut to size.
