DUO I love for holding them on, I use MAC's half-lash, I put them on BEFORE eyeshadow so the glue bonds to my skin, not onto the powder and then falls off, I put my liner on afterwards, b/c, too, my liner colors any leftover glue (hehe), yes you can reuse them, let the glue dry about 60 seconds for me!

Whew! such bad grammar I have!

I always put them on after shadow and liner that way I can line over them and make them look perfectly straight (because most of the time they arent)

yes, this question has been asked and re-asked, but we're not gonna kill you for asking again :P

the best thing to do before posting about a topic is to search the tribe first.
there is a search bar above the tabs where you see the topics, listings etc. and you can type your search terms in there.
so give that a try as well!

BUT to quickly answer your questions...
1. there are 2 brands i can think of off the top of my head: Duo and Ardell. iv'e used both with no difference. you dont want to use anything like spirit gum for eyelashes.
2. personal preference :) i put them on very last. (even after curling & mascara)
3. yes, i usually do a very thick line of liquid eyeliner and then put the lashes on top.
4 yes, for the love of god(ess) re-use them!! they are like bindis~ re-use them till they die! i have eyelashes that are 5+ years old that i still use. if you take care of them well, they will stay looking nice.
(taking care= always put them back in the case after removing, never fall asleep in them, dont pull too hard on individual lashes, gently remove glue when it builds up etc...)
5. apply the glue and wait till it dries just a bit so that it is tacky. if it isnt sticky enough yet you may have to hold the lash on your eye until it dries enough to stick.

hope that helps! :)

Yah, I looked through the threads as much as I could before my eyes felt like bleeding out of my skull. The eyes can only take so much reading on the monitor before they start to get sore. Thats why I straight up said, that I knew this was a common topic and thank you for your patience. And any thread I came across that was involved with eyelashes, did not answer all 5 of my questions.
So anyway, thank you all for your advice, though I am confused more so now than I was before. LOL. Everyone does different things I guess, but we all seem to agree on DUO adhesive. Awesome. Oh and thanks for the EyeKandy advice. Yeah, I would imagine that goes after the eyelashes. Thanks a million! *BIG HUGS*

Glomming on to this thread...
Does anyone have any tips for the application step itself? I know you are supposed to let the glue dry and then try to attach the lashes from the center of the lid out. For some reason even after watching tutorial videos online I can't manage to put on fake eyelashes properly. They're always either too far up my eyelid or just falling off. I usually try it about six times (all of which are always failures) and then give up.
Is there any secret wisdom I lack in this department or is this just my innate spasticness?
