Mastering the Art of False EyelashesWhen done correctly, some false eyelashes are good enough to fool mother nature -- it's all in the art of the application. Learn how to do yours now and you'll be batting them with the best 'em by tonight |
Do you despise Kim Kardashian -- but secretly find yourself coveting her eyelashes? (And hating yourself for it?) Join the club. There's something undeniably alluring about long, lush, come hither eyelashes that leaves those of us who have short, stubby ones feeling a whole lot less than.
Of course, we live in exciting times -- times that have us putting botulism in our wrinkles, silicone in our breasts and, yes, even realistic-looking false eyelashes on our lids. Today's eyelash options are pretty far-reaching. You can get different sorts of extensions (if the $300+ price tag doesn't scare you off), or spend a few extra minutes each morning applying coat-after-coat of your mascara du jour. Or, you can become a master false eyelash applier, MFEA for short, and flaunt your long lashes with the greatest of ease.
Learn how to master the art of false eyelashes now.
Now, we're not talking those spiderific Nicki Minaj style falsies; those throwbacks to the 1960s are so over. These days there are myriad real looking options to chose from. To prove this and to help you achieve the gorgeous, glamorous look we all crave, we've compiled a list of the best false lashes and talked to pro makeup artists to get the techniques that help make them look more believable. Go ahead, try them on for size and you'll never have to covet anything Kardashian again!

Nice tips, I'm enjoying Ardell's falsies for the moment, especially the lash accents, they just add a pretty, do-eyed effect!

I wish false eyelashes became as popular as they were in the 60s!

Sometimes I get them spot on, mostly I don't!

Really good tips shared :) However, it all depends on the glue that you get in your country. In my place here, the glue dries really fast, and I don't have to wait for it dry at all. The trickiest part of putting false lashes is to stick it near your own eyeslashes, but not on it.

Duo has TWO different formulas. One (the blue and white package) dries CLEAR. The other (pink and white) dries dark. Not completely black, but it dries more like a very dark black/brown. You can find either DUO formulas together where they sell Duo (at Sally's, Sephora, etc).
