Eyelashes!

There are many different types of products that can make your lashes look great. They are used to create length, definition, and volume. False lashes can be made out of synthetic (plastic) material, or natural hair. The two types of lashes are strips and individuals. Strip lashes are used mostly when you don't have a lot of time to spend putting on lashes. Individual lashes are used when you want them to look more natural, and to give fullness and definition. The most thing you can use on/for your lashes aside from mascara, are false lashes. There are semi-wispy's, demi-wispy's, flirty lashes, and I believe that is it. To apply falsies, you are going to need: scissors, eyelash glue, (or hair glue for a better hold) black mascara, and tweezers. You first have to hold up the strip to your eye to see if the length is right for you. You will most likely have to cut to shape your eye, so this is where your scissors come in handy. Cut the lashes, make sure they are the right length, and then you can apply your lash glue. What I like to do is put a small amount of lash glue on the back of my hand, and I will run the band of my lashes across the glue, let it become tacky for about 20 seconds, and then apply to your eye. I start in the middle of the lash line, then take my tweezers and pull the two ends to the lash line, and I hold them there for a second, then let them dry on their own. And boom! You have easily applied your false lashes.
