Lashes are great if you're eyes can handle them. I had a photoshoot and put them on for the first time and man my eyes would not cease to water! The makeup artist explains that it takes some time for your eyes to get used to (that's why if you'd like to wear them for a special occassion you should wear them like the week before to get your lids accustomed to them).
As for everyday use? Personally I think the drama should be saved for that special event; you're 'wow factor' just has less wow when you wear your factor everyday lol. Hope that helps! <3
i absolutely love fake lashes ^^ but i can't wear them on a daily basis cause i wear glasses. i love them big lashes when i do videos or take pictures.. i think wearing them on a daily basis is great if you're used to wearing them..
I know ladies who won't leave the house without thier fake lashes. I say whatever floats your boat! If wearing those fake lashes boosts your confidence, you should wear them:)
I wear mine almost everyday but leave them off if I'm running late. I agree that they take some getting used to at first and if I apply them slightly off it's a huge mess but I think the end product is worth it to give a little extra enhancement to makeup. As for brands, my absolute favorite is ShuUemura but those can be pricey and are only available online in the US ($21-$28) so I would also recommend Sonia Kashuk (about $4) which is available at Target.
I've seen people wear falsies for just every day errands and such. Personally, I like to save them for when I was the HOLY LASHES BATMAN double takes, since I have naturally long lashes.
If you want to wear them daily, do it! No one's stopping you!
I have worn falsies on the daily and I love them! I have cut back on wearing them during my work week tho, its too hot and I am constantly in water this time of year! I have had great luck with the Ardell lashes, they run anywhere from $3-$6 and you can find them in drugstores and beauty supplies! I have yet to try MAC falsies since they are about $15 versus the Ardell $4 lashes that work well for me already!
You can wear falsies whenever you want, but sometimes its such a hassle to put on that it gets bothersome after a while. If you want you can go for lash extensions if you want to have that long lash look, and they last about 1 month.
I love falsies! And yeah they can take a bit to get used to. I can only wear natural lashes or very soft ones. The typical "Halloween" or crazy designed ones are very hard for me to wear, since the band is usually very stiff on them. They make my eyes water like crazy, so yeah for me they have to have a soft band:) I personally only wear them for special occasions, nights out or a costume/photoshoot. I think they can be worn anytime though:)
I love my false lashes but I prefer to wear them only for nights out or special events. Unless you use Ardell or other similar brands which give you a somewhat natural lash look.
I wear full strips for competitions and individuals from time to time. I'm all about being different so they aren't something that I wear every single day.
I'm in looove with false lashes! I don't use them myself but I think that natural-looking falsies are a great invention! Especially for those who aren't blessed with the long lashes.
I love them! ^-^ I like to use a brand called Salon Perfect, I got a few pairs at walmart and they last me a pretty long time, I like having dramatic big eyes when I go out so it's a normal look for me. It really does complete any look, along with kicking it up a notch! Ebay sells some good one's to with thicker bands, I just prefer thinner bands though, it makes it easier to blend in with your natural lashes if you dont feel like wearing eyeliner.
i honestly love false lashes. i could wear them everyday, but i try not to. i find them just so much easier to put on than to do multiple coats of mascara. not to mention i have very straight lashes so i constantly have to curl my lashes so they stay curled. so lashes all the way!
I've never tried them and don't see me wearing them in the near future. Not even for blog posts. Just doesn't appeal to me, but it can dramatically enhance a look.

I love them for occasions, never used them on a daily use.

Yes ! Yes ! Yes !
they just make your eyes pop out without all the work of putting actual mascara on
And if you do it just right youll look wondering

And my opinion about them being too much for everyday is that if you buy at least three different ones
Natural ones for everyday
Thicker looking black ones for going somewhere special
And extra long ones for going out at night,
Also i would reccomend if your barely started out to invest in a glue thats easier to apply then the little tubes that come with the lashes (:
