Do you wear false lashes?
Beautiful With Brains says: I do but only on special occasions. They are too time-consuming to wear daily!

same here, only on special occasions too!

same here! I just got one really hot and funky pair of lashes for Halloween

Nikki, me too. I think they are perfect for special occasions but not very practical for everyday wear.
I have some, but I’ve never worn them in my life, just can’t be bothered to go through all that effort! Might wear them soon though, just to try something new

Dao, they sound really cool! Are you posting your Hallowen look on your blog? I’d love to see it
Anna, I know what you mean, they can be an hassle and quite hard to apply, especially at first. They take a bit of practice but the results are good. Let me know how it goes if you try them.
I don’t wear false eye lashes, unless someone helps me to put them on.
A little off topic, saw your tweet on your dreaming of Sleek palette…so, people do dream of makeup, just like I did with the MAC Magic, Mirth and Mischief….;)
If I know how to…Most of the time I am even too lazy to put on mascara because I don’t want to spend time removing it.

I don’t know how to put on fakies! *blushes*

I wish I could say I wear falsies, but I’m too lazy *sigh*. The falsies you posted are cool especially the blue one… wheee~

I do! Usually during special occasions but the natural ones work for day outings too.

Vonvon, yes, I dreamt that I was at a Sleek counter with my sister playing with all their makeup. It was so much fun! I think when you dream of makeup you are officially a beauty addict eheh
Citrine, I what you mean. Applying makeup is fun but removing is so boring..
Jenn: aww that’s ok hun, they’re not that easy to use, at least a first. I wrote a tutorial about it a while ago, you can find it here if you are interested: http://beautifulwithbrains.com/2008/07/31/how-to-apply-false-eyelashes/
Ahleessa: I’m lazy when it comes to falsies too, hence why I only wear them on special occasions
I agree about the blue lashes, they’re really cool.
Connie, I agree. Some lashes can be worn everyday, but personally I can’t be bothered too, I’m too lazy lol.
I don’t wear
but I would love to try it sometimes. I’m just afraid that with 0 experience I will make something stupid 
. It would be great if I knew somebody that has some xp with these. I would love to have some dramatic look sometimes

Tavia, applying false lashes correctly takes practice. I recommend buying some very cheap ones (so that you won’t waste a lot of money on something that you’re not gonna wear outside your house) and practice when you don’t have to go out. There are lots of tutorials both on youtube or on blogs (I wrote one too here http://beautifulwithbrains.com/2008/07/31/how-to-apply-false-eyelashes/) that you can follow. Of course, if you find someone who ha practice with them that will be more helpful. Hope this helped a bit
Oh yes.
I prefer them to mascara.
I actually find mascara more time-consuming than falsies because I spend about the same time on the application, and falsies save me a lot of time on removal

Ana, you’re a pro then! Removing falsies is certainly easier, it’s the application that can be a problem, especially at first! But they can be a great alternative to mascara if you’re quick ti apply them.
Either that, or I’m an amateur at applying mascara
.
The thing is I just take my sweet time when applying mascara, trying to get it as near perfection as possible, while with falsies it’s 10 seconds for applying the glue, 1 minute for something else, 15 seconds for application, so I don’t view it as a minute and a half per eye, more as 25 secs per eye.

Ana, wow, you’re really quick! It takes me a lot more than 25 seconds or so to apply false lashes lol.
I think in the end it comes down to practice. I use mascara every day and false lashes only once in a while, so I’m quicker at applying the former. Although with some mascaras it can take a while to apply them properly, but these end up in the bin pretty soon lol.
