fake eyelashes!

fake eyelashes are a recent interest of mine. previously only interested in over-curling and coating my eyelashes with layers of mascara, i never considered glue-on lashes.

last month, i ordered a set of 3 from love & beauty by forever 21. so far, i've only worn the medium-volume ones. this being my first experience with fake lashes, i guess i'm not 100% sure what to expect, but for the price of $4.80 i'd have to say i'm very pleased. they're not too evidently false, more on the "wow she has long lashes but they're probably fake" side.
if i ever decide to try out the other two i'll input my review, but for now i think i'll stick to just wearing the middle ones.

there are a lot of different looks that can be achieved with fake lashes. here's a few of them, along how they can be achieved and my opinion on when they should be worn.

a very natural, every day look. this can be achieved using finer and less voluminous false lashes, along with translucent makeup/makeup that matches your skin colour.

 a more dramatic look with more voluminous lashes. i feel these are more appropriate for parties and special occasions. this is the kind of look that the medium volume lashes i ordered give.

this look is even more dramatic than the last; more of a runway model look. i don't believe fake lashes with feathers and rhinestones and the sort should be used on any occasion other than photo-shoots or dress-up parties.

i can't say i would approve of  these fake lashes for any occasion, unless you're trying to pull a lady gaga and i'm still not sure she would go this far. but to each their own; some may be fond of lashes like this!


questions for my readers:

do you wear fake lashes? or do you prefer mascara? or neither?

which look do you prefer out of the ones shown above? or do you have different taste?

are there certain false lashes you've purchased that you absolutely love and would recommend to others? i'm new to these so i'd love some suggestions!
