Falsies aka. Glue on Lashes

Our fav is the Ardell Studio Effects Demi Wispies! LOVE THEM!!!

The great thing about this technique is you have hundreds of looks to choose from and you can change them on a daily basis. Natural, runway or individual glue on lashes are easy to find and easy to wear. All you need is eyelash glue, the lashes and tweezers (optional). Another great feature is the plenty of Youtube videos and tutorials available to you if you’re struggling with application. However, glue adhesive eyelashes can be time consuming and frustrating if not applied correctly.

● Make sure you’re measuring your falsies before application to prevent any poking or irritation to the eye. We don’t want you to get all ready, and then have to remove everything because your lashes are making your eye’s water.
● Apply mascara before applying the lashes, this makes it easier for you to apply the lashes and prevents clumps of mascara, so you can easily reuse them if needed.
● Strip lashes vs Individual Lashes: If you’re contemplating on choosing the full strip lash or apply individuals, it’s all about what look you’re wanting to achieve. Of course the full strip will provide a fuller and more dramatic finish, however individual lashes can also be applied on your lower lashes for a crazy dramatic under lash look. If you find yourself always choosing individual lashes maybe you would enjoy semi permanent eyelash extensions.

Semi Permanent Eyelash Extensions
Our pick for Eyelash Extension Services The Day Spa @ Folawns… We go there for nearly everything!

This great technique took individuals eyelashes to a whole other level, Eyelash extensions are performed when individual synthetic, silk or mink eyelashes are glued onto your natural lashes. Similar to falsies, you can go for more of a natural or dramatic finish. Eyelash extensions are of course less time consuming, because your lashes are all ready and set to go for the day. However, eyelash extensions can be irritating also if not applied well, and may remove your real lashes if plucked or removed inappropriately. This process is pricier than most of the other techniques because a professional is needed to apply them.

● Never apply mascara to your eyelash extensions. This will cause clumps, smearing and removal of your lashes.
● Do not use oil based removers with your extensions, this will cause them to fall off and create an oily look around your eyes.
● If you’re worried about ruining your natural lashes but want a fuller look, perhaps eyelash serum is more for you. (Information Below)

If neither options are for you and you’d like to grow your lashes out naturally, eyelash serums are perfect for you. They do take time and a consistent routine however, with experience they work extremely well.

● The only tip for eyelash serums is to make sure you gain a consistent routine of applying them to your lashes or you will not see results.

Whether you’re choosing Falsies, Eyelash Extensions or Serums, in the end your lashes will look fuller with these tips and tricks.
