Quote: I then trim the length to size at the inside edge.I put the lash glue onto the strip along the lashes & leave for 30 seconds or until it gets slightly tacky. Then take the lash, bend it & apply from the inner corner to the outer one.

After this I apply what ever eyeshadows I'm using, taking care to keep them just above the eyeliner. The liner & mascara both help to blend the lashes in.

I then press gently at the inner eye to make sure it's well adhered. When I'm out I take some eyelash glue with me just in case...there's nothing more uncomfortable than wonky strip lashes! Hope this helps :mrgreen:



I've always heard that it's better to trim from the outside edge . . .  Does it matter?  Or why should you trim the inside edge?

Typically the main reason you want to trim the outer edge as oppose to the inner is bc the inner part of the lash is usually tapered to align more naturally with your natural lashes in descending order. The outer part is usually more flared and extended so it's not noticeable that you've trimmed the lashes. My best tip is look down in a mirror when applying the lashes to get it as close to the lash bed as possible.

I was just looking at lashes on ebay and I would really love to order some but I'm so leery. Do any of you use a known seller on ebay that you would be willing to recommend??

I don't have a recommended seller but just find a price point, look at the seller with the most feedback and see how many negatives they have and their % rating.  Pick a power seller with high ratings and few negatives.

Thanks! I found one that looks promising. Top Rated Seller. They're in Hong Kong. Should I be worried about that?

They're all in HK or China because they are all made there.  If you buy one from North America, they will be 10x the prices and they'll still be manufactured in Asia.  **make sure you pay using Paypal.com so your purchase is protected.

One thing that helps me is youtube. I need a visual when I learn how to do things and I guessed searched on YT and found a few vids. And of course lots of practice.

Try this one from Pixiwoo, makes sense to me, but I haven't tried it, mainly because my close-up vision is bad so I can't see well enough.

@Pancua and others (lol sorry late re.. been so busy) Most sellers on ebay should be ok if you check their feedback history first... You could also check youtube reviews of ebay lashes (I see quite a lot) I had ordered from a seller my last post so if I get them I will link with pics of what I got. (would hate to refer a seller and then find out they're dodgy!)

(Btw Pancua you look so gorgeous in those falsies *^o^*)

Also, I got my Ardell lashes (120 demi black) yesterday, which according to reviews are supposed to be 'dramatic yet natural'.. Dunno about that but they are sooooo long, they won't fit behind glasses, lol!! Any tips? xD
