These are perfect for theatrical performances, any night out that requires a little drama (bachelorette party, anymore?!), or drag queens (#realtalk).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Application Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Select the right type.<\/strong> Seriously, picking the right pair is half the battle. So many people say to me, \u201cI can\u2019t put on lashes,\u201d \u201cThey don\u2019t stay on,\u201d etc. But really, selecting a pair that works with your eyes is key to making them more manageable. I find that lashes with flexible bands are the best. They form to fit the shape of the eyelid better than lashes with a solid, harder band, and also look more realistic. Stiff banded lashes are more likely to pop up and do not blend as well into the lash line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use good glue!<\/strong> In my experience, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sephora.com\/brush-on-adhesive-P387891?skuId=1633106&amp;om_mmc=ppc-LIA&amp;gclid=CLXW696E_NECFUlNfgod5vQJzA\" target=\"_blank\">DUO lash glue<\/a> is the best. Pitch it and grab a new bottle every so often to ensure the best quality (and less sticky situations).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have patience.<\/strong> For newbies to the world of fake lashes, practice makes perfect. It\u2019ll be annoying when you\u2019re first trying to figure out the application process, but I promise you it\u2019ll be worth it in the long run!<\/p>\n<p><em>For the latest and greatest in all things beauty, be sure to check out <a href=\"http:\/\/martinisandmascara.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MartinisandMascara.com<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>This story was written by a fab member of our\u00a0Ambassador Network.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":"False lashes are one of the most commonly discussed topics when I\u2019m working a makeup ...","author":273007,"featured_media":98077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6,118],"tags":[],"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/02112525\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-02-at-11.19.25-AM-660x400.png","thumbnail_url_middle_card":"https:\/\/static.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/02112525\/Screen-Shot-2017-02-02-at-11.19.25-AM.png","formated_date":"February 2, 2017","category_name":"Beauty","category_icon":"https:\/\/d3vodd1ws13xud.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/10113828\/beauty-1.svg","author_name":"","trending":false,"sponsored":false,"random_color":"#fca6e8","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98047"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/273007"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
