I have worn fake eyelashes for 80% of my days for the past 8 years. I did a year of full strip ones but that got annoying and "heavy." I did a year of the small clusters, but that got too time-consuming. So now, for the past 6 years, I use half-strips on the outer half of my eyes. I often forget they're even there. Everyone always compliments me on my eyelashes and sometimes I fess up and say they're fake and the person acts surprised.

I use "Ardell Lash Accents Pair Style 301" or I use these, cutting them in half: "Andrea Mod Strip Lash Pair Style 21." You can get them in any drugstore or on Amazon. I re-use them for awhile, probably 2-3 weeks, so it's not $$$. I take them off each night and "peel" off the used glue. It takes me 1 min in the morning to re-apply, max.

I use Duo Lash Glue, black, to apply them. Remember to apply them to the base of your LASHES, not your LID. Also, sometimes I use tweezers to "squeeze" them onto my lashes, if they look a little unattached. Rare, though.

For mascara with or without fake eyelashes, I use Mia Adora 3D mascara. $20 on Amazon.

Magnetic lashes!!! Ardell makes these amazing magnetic lashes that way you don’t have to worry about glue or anything. They sell them as a full set or just accents. The full set can be tricky to get just right. Most people end up cutting them in the middle to get them on right so I would just get the accents. You can just put mascara on, stick the accents right on and BAM!

I’ve only worn them twice and both times had a professional apply them. Sephora will do free makeovers if you spend $50 (so easy at Sephora) and they did mine last time. Maybe have them talk you through the process the first time!
