I have short straight lashes but I have not entertained the thought of trying out fake lashes cause I kind of feel awkward about applying glue on my eyelids. I found out that Shiseido mascara makes straight lashes look longer so that's what I've started using and so far i like it :) although I don't use it everyday...only if i have extra 15 min to put on make up. How about you? Do you prefer natural or fake eyelashes?

I have short and straight eye lahes as well, I like to use mascara to make my eyelashes look longer and I tried to stick fake lashes on topof my own lashes also but it is a pain when you try to wash it off especially with the sticky lashes... I would do it though when I want to makemyself pretty.

when you are really used to using fake eyelashes, it's better to use non-oil make up remover. it'll instantly remove your fake lashes in an instant.

Fake lashes can't be worn everywhere. Also at the end of the day, people might find it out and see it in awkward way. I remember I heard bad things from people about two ladies who used to wear them. They made fun of them by saying that they really weird and that they were trying too hard to look beautiful with the lashes. Of course, those two ladies were not thinking that way. But people's comments made me feel a bit uncomfortable about fake eye lashes. I prefer the natural ones I have. I never bought the fake ones because I was scared that they would not stick to eyelids that well.

You can always curl your eyelashes and use mascara. I don't like using fake eyelashes because it is hard to put them on, then if they aren't on perfectly you can tell theyr fake.

Fake lashes are pretty but I could never wear them. I hate anything near my eyes and that would just be torture putting them on. I can't even put eye drops in my eyes because that just freaks me out. I can't imagine what I would do if I ever needed to wear contacts! But they are so pretty!

I have long straight lashes so i usually do not use mascara or other stuff. I think it is smart for some people to use fake lashes to be pretty. But i think wearing eyeliner is more important to make up beautful,big eyes.

as i have heard from previous users of fake lashes, they tend to lose the real ones after a long time of using the fake lashes. I prefer staying natural and use mascara instead if there's really a party or special occasions. I don't want to have bald eye lids when i get old.

I'm like you. I don't want to put fake lashes on. Well, it depends if I really need to put it on but for everyday use? Its a no no. I'll go for the natural looking lashes because I feel comfortable with it. I don't have worry from time to time if my mascara spreads, if the lashes was not in its place, so for me its better without fake lashes on but sometimes I do wear mascara just to enhance my eyes but I haven't tried fake lashes and I want to try it.

i have thick and dark lashes but i don't like wearing mascara and i don't like fake lashes. there are dermaclinic clinics and spas that offer services like lash extensions. it not that expensive, maybe you should try that. it is only about $10-12 and it can stay more than 1 month or more depending on how you take care of them. some girls i know do that, and they say that it is advised to not rub the eyes.

wow, lash extensions for $10-12???? that's cheap! but i tend to rub my eyes often so probably not good for me. i don't like fake lashes or mascara either but i think i prefer wearing mascara than stick some false lashes up on my lids. thanks for responding.

I say for me it depends on the day. most of the time I dont bother with makeup at all. but if I want to put on makeup and just want something simple i go for mascara and thats it. makesmy lashes a little bit longer and stand out. but when im doing my makeup tutorials on youtube most looks I try to do have to use false lashes depending on how much eyeshadows used and such. so i say 5 outa 7 days of the week I just go for some dramatic mascara.
