I used to put on individual lashes every week in my young clubbing days. Now I put them on once in a blue moon for a special occasion like a wedding.
I prefer the individual lashes to the strip because it looks more natural. I can do them in about 10 min! I loooove long lashes since mine are kinda skimpy.
Do you know how to apply false eyelashes?

Yep! Like you, I prefer the individual lashes because they're more natural, and in my opinion, easier to put on. My lashes are really long, but thin. They give me some extra volume for special events.

In theory. Actually attempting to apply them has turned into a disaster every time!

I used to wear eyelashes every once in a blue moon.. Didn't like how they felt on my eyes though!

@Minnie_Girl: LOL/ Me too. I have tried a few times but they never look "right."
I think I need some lessons--they look SO good on! Like @mrsbee, I like individual lashes but have honestly never tried the big ones.

no idea, but I've had them done a few times for weddings (mine and others) and LOVE them. wish I could do it myself (and wish I had the time, even if I knew how).

I love eyelashes and put them on regularly. Next month I am getting the eyelash extensions and soooooooooooooo excited!

I've worn both strips and individuals and I love them. Sometimes I even just put them on to go out to dinner if I have time! I use tweezers to dip in the glue and then place on the individuals. I think that helps a lot with precision.
@anonysquire: I've gotten the extensions before too and they were amazing! Every morning I woke up feeling so glam! If you take care of them they'll last a long time - enjoy!

I'm not good at putting them on but I love the way they look!
@anonysquire: I want extensions before I give birth...maybe they will make me look more awake?

@autumnlove: Actually funny story, last week I was working on the OB unit and this lady came upstairs after giving birth and she looked incredible. Like so fresh faced and glowing and beautiful. I had to tell her. She said it was the fake eyelashes. It worked for her! If I like them enough I will probably just keep getting them! They just look so amazing. And who doesn't like to wake up looking amazing lol?

I've never worn fake eyelashes but this thread is making me want to! I do have long eyelashes though; so long they sometimes brush the lens of my glasses when I blink.
I want to get lasik surgery next year... maybe when that happens I will get some eyelashes

Yep, I'm also a fan of the individuals, easier to put in IMO
Also- I HATE when I see people with full strips and you can tell where they stop/end a la Snooki. That's not pretty, it just looks fake.

@anonysquire: you always have the funniest pictures.

@Coco Bee: I only have Halloween type pics! I should maybe try and take a normal one at some point.

Umm no. If I tried it would probably end in a trip to the ER cause I glued my eye shut.
@prettylizy: When I first saw your post I thought you were posting a pic of yourself and I was like OMG she looks just like Snooki!

I don't know how to apply the individuals, but I can apply the strips.
I used to wear them ALL. THE. TIME. before I had a baby... like 2 or 3 times a week!

I have the extensions right now! I got them 2 weeks ago and they should last a few more weeks. I'm a no-makeup girl so having the extensions definitely makes me look a bit brighter 
I had them for my wedding two years ago too. The only annoying thing is not being able to rub my eyes in the morning and when washing my face. I didn't realize how often I must do that!
