So I walked into Walgreen's last night to pick up a random item and found myself looking at the girly stuff on the front wall. There were very pretty makeup brushes that cost loads of money. I thought about the broken half of a $2 brush I was using to put on my powder presently and decided to reward myself with a new one. Now, what was I rewarding myself for? Couldn't think of anything. I've done nothing to deserve a new $15 makeup brush. So, I opted for the $6 one which was shorter but just as pretty and fluffy. The shortness will make up for the guilt I would have felt had I bought the other one.
While I was standing there, something else caught my eye. False eyelashes. Now, if you know Beej at all you know I have the most pathetic eyelashes on the face of the earth, except maybe for men who have singed theirs off while barbequing. So I decided to see what it was all about about and rewarded myself again with some very plain, not too expensive lashes. (I'm really going to have to do something soon to deserve all this rewarding). This morning I decided to try the suckers out. I'm here to tell you that those things are of the devil. I'm obviously not coordinated enough to put them on. It was comical. I've been defeated by an inch of hand trimmed, 100% sterilized human hair. Humiliating is what it is.

Looks like frustrating work to me. Not going there, well, unless I have a bad barbecue session.

I wear false eyelashes once and a while...there are a few tricks to applying them correctly. The first is: you never put them on right out of the package. You have to trim them to the length of your lashline AND you don't apply them from inner-corner to outer corner, usually you cover only about 2/3 of the lashline- from the outer corner toward the middle.
Also, you apply eyeshadow first, then lashes, let lash glue dry (did you also buy lash adhesive?) then apply cake or liquid eyeliner OVER the lashline then carefully apply mascara to your natural lashes to blend them up into the false lashes.
Yes, it a lot of work to be glam! |
