have never used false falsies before for fear of gluing my eyes shut and also thinking that I may turn out to look like a badly put together drag queen. But recently I was offered a chance to try out a pair of Eyelure Lengthening by the amazing team at Beauty Bulletin – A big thank you for these! I received the Eyelure Lengthening No.118 starter kit which comes with a set of lashes, a practice lash, two tubes of glue (contains latex), applicator and leaflet.
Thank goodness for the practice lash because even though the instructions are easy enough to follow I did find that I had to make some adjustments, like step 1, should really be apply mascara to your natural eyelashes so that your natural eyelashes blend with the falsies. Also I found that if I let the glue become tacky which takes about 2 minutes the eyelash sticks in the right place and I used my tweezers to apply the lashes as I found the applicator a little cumbersome for me.

To Apply (as per the box’s instructions):
1) Lift the lashes from the tray with tweezers, applicator or your fingers (if they are glued across the lash, then ease them away from the half-moon using your thumbs in a downward motion, please do not pick off from the ends.

2) Measure against your eye and if they are too long then, using sharp nail scissors, snip off a small section at a time until they are perfect.
3) Apply a thin line of the Eylure Lashfix glue to the lash band. Wait about 20-30 seconds until it becomes tacky before applying (this is where most applications can go awry).
4) Apply with tweezers, applicator or your fingers (whichever feels natural to you). We believe a tweezers/applicator will give you a more precise placement. Place from the middle of the eye first then adjust the edges so they follow your natural lash line. Press and hold for a few seconds. If you make a mistake, simply remove from the eye, take off the dried glue, reapply and go again.

To Remove:
Hold lash at outside edge and gently peel off – It really doesn’t hurt!
To Reuse:
Remove used glue with fingers or tweezers from the lash band and then store back on tray.
Verdict:
I found these to be really great especially for a first time user. They were super light and fit perfectly on my eye. The best part about these is that they look really natural with just a hint of glamour at the edges. They add the perfect amount of volume and length to wear during the day and I think that if you’re looking to keep it low key, just pop these bad boys on with a pop of color on your lips and you’re ready to head out the door!
And at just R54.95 (Dischem) a pair they’re a really great buy for anyone looking to add a little oopmh to their look.
