i have been struggling with this for a few years now, just in my eyelashes, and it is to the point where i have NO eyelashes. a few months ago i got real fed up.

i went to sephora and bought a pair of fake eyelashes. now i know what youre going to say-i didnt buy a pair of crazy black, long and thick ones that make me look like some street walker. i bought a very sparse pair, and when i got home i even trimmed them down some more.

the reason this works for me:
i am a person that feels very self conscious. I know that if my hands go anywhere near my eyelashes when i am wearing fake ones, and i pull off the strip of lashes, i am not only going to look like a weirdo for wearing fake lashes during the day, but i am going to have a weird bare strip where there is no eyeliner that came off with the glue. and i dont want to look like that. kind of a shallow reason, but hey, whatever works.

ive used these:
Sephora Collection Fringe Benefits Lashes item number 1504901 and
Makeup Forever False Lashes in 105 (Julia)

i also bought the Duo glue in clear- although i think i might purchase the black one as the clear takes a little while to dry and i look a bit odd walking around with white spots in my eyelashes if i had to run out of the house. i put a little bit of mascara on to clump the lashes a bit so they dont look too perfect.

i basically wear them all the time, i am a regular pro putting them on now, takes me less time than it did when i actually had eyelashes to put mascara on. i dont notice them either. i even sleep in them- the glue lasts around 24 hours. i even do yoga in them, and i get real sweaty in yoga.

my eyelashes are growing in ! and when they grow in enough, i am planning to just use individual lashes as a deterrent, instead of strip lashes.

hope i helped !
