False Love

I've always been a mascara girl but a recent outdoor job (oh the HORROR of mascara smudges!) has forced me to wear falsies instead.

Unlike my sister, I'm not a fan of dramatic lashes. But I think super natural ones that aren't noticeable are pointless as well. Why wear something extra if it isn't going to be visible or make a difference? Not like they have other uses like coloured contact lenses that actually help you see better.

The ones I'm wearing here are fake Dolly Winks (I think) from the night market. They add a certain something to my eyes while still keeping it relatively natural enough. Plus I don't even have to line my eyes when I'm in a hurry cos of the thick band.

Can you see how the false eyelashes really opened up my eyes? You can't even see my natural lashes here. So sad... =(

Okay, this is a really strange angle LOL

The only thing different between the photos below is the lashes! Gosh.. See the difference? And these are considered quite natural ones..

I'm using this glue which is labeled as Eye Cream (what...??). It's strong enough to stick for many hours but still pretty easy to remove. I just pull it off unless my real lashes are caught in the glue then remove the remaining glue with an eye makeup remover. The inner corners do still have a tendency to come off slightly. Hence, I carry the glue with me whenever I have falsies on =/ I think this is a problem with my eye shape though. So I won't blame the glue..

Sister's drama lashes which I'll probably never wear @_@, my falsies and a box of handmade ones which are too thick for my liking.

If you noticed the tiny bunches of falsies, those are the excess that I snipped off. I dislike wearing falsies starting from the tear duct. It's much more comfortable a little bit further away and it looks better too. Hence, I always cut off a tiny bit from the end.
