I have never tried false eyelashes before, and I am feeling the urge to experiment. I have smaller, deep set eyes and I have tried the overly dramatic strips of eyelashes but I found they closed my eyes up more. I'm looking for lashes that will add some extra Oomph to my natural look, preferably with more drama on the outer lashes. I've tried looking for lashes in general but there are so many different kinds I'm kind of overwhelmed and I don't know which way to turn. Help?
I cannot apply lash bands to save my life, couldn't find half lashes, so I tried individual lashes. You can apply them only at the outer corners, so that should open up your eyes and they're super easy to apply. I completely do my eye make up, then apply the false lashes. I just lightly dip them in the glue and stick them on.
I use half lashes daily because they're so comfortable and quick to apply. I take Ardell 102s and cut them in half (I use the shorter half because my natural lashes are quite short). I think they also make half lashes in the same style. I find that this style blends into my natural lashes.

Try half-lashes (e.g., Ardell #301 or #305).
