>>Also: I heard horror stories from the BDSS about them wearing them and I confess it kinda scared me, so i don't want to screw up my normal lashes. I know that's probably an unfounded fear but I figured I'd ask you makeup masters! :) I just have to add to this already fabulous list of advice that I don't think that will be much of a problem. I wear my fake eyelashes for each show, so every week to two weeks, and my natural lashes are fine. And i have really sensitive eyes. I think the thing is in the BDSS they probably perform very often compared to most dancers, so they are wearing them a lot more than most people. That's just my .02.

i'm worried about that too! especially since my dance partner regularly loses hers when she dances...they start to fall off and look kinda silly. ack? suggestions?

EYELASH BED = ON THE EYELASHES....AS CLOSE TO THE SKIN AS POSSIBLE, BUT NOT NOT ON THE SKIN!!!!! ....AND REMEMBER...ALWAYS START FROM THE OUTSIDE OF EYELID AND WORK YOUR WAY IN....... Another tip: usually the eyelashes requie trimming....not the eyelash length, but the base that covers the width of the eye.....when trimming always trim the inner eye section...trim one to desired width then lay the other one under it to trim equally!!! TIPS TO REMOVE & SAVE::: dIP A Q-TIP IN OIL BASED MAKE-UP REMOVER, CLOSE EYE AND BRUSH, IN A DOWNWARD STROKE, FALSE LASH BASE. WHEN LOOSE GENTLY PULL FROM OUTER EDGE IN...TO REMOVE. IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING ISSUES...GET IN A STEAMY SHOWER!!!!

LaRa 2007-10-22T20:24:29Z LaRa http://dancemakeup.tribe.net/thread/c17cb545-1a25-4706-af87-1278e9e03af8#fb8a03d7-b4e7-4426-8e8e-5f33334dc003 2007-10-22T20:20:40Z 2007-10-22T20:20:40Z

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Apply fake eyelashes (target has awesome ones around Halloween so stock up now!!!!) w/ clear eyelash glue. Before you apply them...bend them many times to get them soft & shaped to your eye curve. Then apply a nice amount of glue from tip to tip...let dry a few seconds...so it gums up & will stick better where you place.......apply the eyelash from the outer edge of your lid to the inner edge........ON YOUR EYELASH BASE...NOT YOUR EYELID...they will curl up all funky if you apply to the lid instead of to the lash base.

Definitely worth it to replace the glue that comes with the lashes with glue by DUO. It comes in clear and brown i think. I've only ever used the clear and its fantastic. The lashes stay on great. My tips. Squeeze a bit of the glue out then run the edge of your eyelash across it, not the other way around. Give it a good 30 seconds before you stick it on. The glue has to get tacky before you put it on your skin or it wont stick. Start at one corner, then law it down across the eyelid (I start at the outer corner, but i know people that start at the inner corner.) Hold the corners down for a second to make sure they stick well. Leave your eyes shut for about 10 seconds (or just look down) so that the glue can set well before you start moving your eyes around. Before you apply the glue, lay the eyelashes down on your eye where you want them to make sure you dont need to trim them.

I've only worn false eyelashes once. I'm performing this coming weekend and I need to wear some BUT I'm worried that I will sweat them off. Any suggestions? I've tried the single eyelashes and they looked great but i lost a few real ones trying to get them off. it was a real bummer.

I was hoping to find it here in town, found a website for it. I was going to take her to check it out, but I'll just buy it and have her try it once before hand. Thanks!

I am new to the fake lashes myself. I bought a pair of lashes from Wal-Mart that I used for a community hafla and the Ren Faire. I have not had a problem with them so far. Putting them on are fairly simple. Everyone does them differently but I brush my natural lashes first, put the glue on the fakes and place them over the top of my lashes right on the edge of the lid. Press down a little and they are on. Problem I do have is that when I sweat a lot they tend to want to slip a little.

I can't remember exactly but I think it might have been from a website called makeupmania.com or something similar. One of the gals here on tribe posted a link to a website a while ago. I'll bet if you google it (or, dogpile it... my new fave search engine) you'll find links to it at a number of stage makeup websites. I usually spritz my face a minimum of 3 times (lightly spritz too). Final Seal has a pepper-minty scent to it so be forewarned if you're not fond of that smell. But it dissipates quickly and it does help your makeup last.

If you have one, check a local costume shop for Ben Nye products, that's where I get mine. I know you can get them online in several places but I'm not certain exactly where. A google search for "Ben Nye" should pull something up for you.

Sasha, Where do you get your Ben Nye Final Seal at? My brother wedding is coming up and his fiance has a terrible problem with sweating off her makeup, she isn't a girly girl at all but will be wearing makeup for this. I am thinking this just might be a great option for her.

I would NEVER just pull off the lashes. Whenever I wear them, being the strip type or the individual clusters, I always use an oil first, followed by eye makeup remover. Here's what I do: First, have some tissues nearby that you can reach for with your eyes closed! I'll use either Vitamin E oil or Jojoba oil, whichever I grab first, and put a few drops on my fingertips. Then close my eyes and just massage the oil on my eyelids and lashes to loosen up everything. I use waterproof EVERYTHING plus a coating of Ben Nye Final Seal so my makeup can pretty much withstand a hurricane! The oil loosens all of that stuff up and the lashes usually just fall off on my fingers. I'll take a tissue and gently wipe most of the gunk off. Then I'll take a cotton pad and use Neutrogena's eye makeup remover (it's the one in a bottle that you need to shake to blend the ingredients) to wipe off the residue of any remaining oil/makeup. Then, I'll use my usual cleanser to really clean my skin. If you're going to try lashes for the first time, don't be afraid to try the little individual clusters as well. I use the LONG length all over as they are easier to handle and I can always trim them down with scissors. Good luck and happy lashes!!

I don't know about the lashes that pop up around Halloween time, but I don't know why they would be any worse than what you get at a beauty supply store. I would think the glue is the part you want to be careful on. (I get mine at Sally Beauty Supply). When I put on fake lashes, I put them on the skin as close to the lash line as possible, but not on the lashes themselves. Also, I put eye makeup and liner on first (I've found that this helps when I wash off the glue later. One time I put the lashes on before eyeliner and not only did I almost take the lashes off by accident when I put my eyeliner one, I had glue stuck to my eyelids for a least a day after I took the makeup off). I personally put mine on from outer corner of eye to inner, but that's just a personal preference, I think. Also, I curl my real lashes before I put the fake ones on, then curl both sets together, then apply mascara. Good luck! (Oh, and you make want to get good makeup remover. I haven't bought any yet, but it would have probably helped when I had lash glue stuck to my eyelids that one time)

So, I confess to being fairly non girly - so much so that i'm only now exploring the possibilities of fake eyelashes (i'm a little late on the makeup train!). Any tips for putting those puppies on? And, where exactly do you get them? I've been seeing some AMAZING halloween lashes at everywhere from walgreens to wal mart to the costume stores, but are those safe/ok to use? Also: I heard horror stories from the BDSS about them wearing them and I confess it kinda scared me, so i don't want to screw up my normal lashes. I know that's probably an unfounded fear but I figured I'd ask you makeup masters! :) any help you could give would be awesome!
