I was painfully slow to joining the world false lashes. I don't think I applied my first false strip lash until probably 2011 or early 2012 at the ripe 'ol age of 31-ish. This isn't to say that I didn't love falsies - whenever I had Christine at Vanity Cosmetics do my makeup, I regularly asked her to apply lashes, and I was obsessed with the final product - I'd sleep in my makeup that night to preserve the look (big no-no!).
Yet, I never took the plunge into doing my own lashes at home, save for a few individual lashes on very special occasions.
I was a fool.
Tired? False lashes. No time or skill at liquid liner? False lashes. Running around all day and need to update your look to evening? False lashes. Crappy day? False lashes.
Now, I've always been into lashes - I was a regular Latisse user, I had my lashes tinted at Vanity, and I'm a mascara junkie. I even wrote an article about all the ways in which to beautify your lashes for Vanity's website - read it here. But, I just didn't make the final leap until I got a) overly curious and b) a bit more confident after some helpful videos.
For those also scared to take the plunge, I strongly suggest you make a quickie, additional New Year's resolution for 2013 (it's not too late!) - - try false lashes. You won't be sorry. Watch the videos I suggest below, come to Vanity Cosmetics for help with a professional makeup artist, and practice on early Sunday mornings when you won't be seen by anyone other than your doggie and maybe the morning crew at Starbucks.
Here's to a beautiful you in the New Year!

Other than any beauty supply store, I love the variety and super-fash shipping at Madame Madeline. Their prices are low, their variety is great, and their customer service is on-point!
