Falsies Review/Quick Tutorial...Revlon Beyond Natural Lashes!

I went out like the above once in public, and it didn't go so well. I got a massive ear-full from the woman who was giving me a facial, she took it upon herself to tell me what men like (she looked like this by the way), and what make up was appropriate for night and for day. I didn't even bother to try and explain to her that I was just testing out my Twiggy make up, that I didn't think I would be going out at all etc, (not to mention the fact that I am a grown woman and it is none of her business whatsoever). I adore Twiggy and the make up look she made popular, I even bought a vintage pair of "Twiggy Lashes" that were sold in 1967:

In this whole ensemble I was not wearing an false lashes however (this may have thrown babushka over the edge). The allure of falsies is such a mythical, magical one, they are so glamorous and finding just the right thickness and length for your eyes can be an art form. I don't wear them daily, but I love having them as an option for a special occasion.

Here's what we're working with in today's review:

FYI - these lashes do not come with adhesive, so I used Duo, which I had around and have always had good luck with. I got a set of the "Double Wink" lashes (the thickness of two sets, mid 60's style) and they are very soft and nice feeling. So after grabbing the lashes with my tweezers, I applied a thin layer of the adhesive like so:

Wait 30 seconds (for the glue to get sticky), bend them gently between your thumbs to loosen them up, then grab your tweezers again and apply:

(Use the tweezers to help push the lashes into your natural lash line!)

                                                              

With the lashes:                                   Without:                                                    

Now as you can see they are a bit much for a normal day at the office (depending on your place of work!) 

If I were going to wear these out (at night) I would have 

trimmed them to start about there --->

You want them to start where your normal lashes do, but for the purposes of pictures and a review I just left them as is. They have a wide variety of sizes that would also be perfect for day/work wear, as well as sets of smaller lashes to customize to your liking:

All are relatively cheap (about $4 at Target) too, so not much to dislike really, it's definitely something I would buy again. Duo also makes falsies which are not bad either, but I found the Revlon ones to be a bit softer.

Thanks for reading and hope this helps saves ya a bit of time/money, till next time darlings!
