Every girl knows the effort and cost put into looking fantastic are sometimes over the top, but when the results show that you’ve effectively pulled off one of those demure evening makeup looks that you’ve just spent hours copying from your favorite girl crush celebrity, you’ll feel amazingly confident that it’s been worth all the energy. Can this look be achieved by buying false eyelashes at your nearest drugstore?
Part of the sexy confidence that seemingly oozes from the modern female celebrity is owed to the fact that she’s secretly sporting a pair of the best fake lashes, which successfully accent her eyes and magnetically draw all in her path into her deep gaze. And so every girl should have a great pair of lashes in her evening make up arsenal, and though very often they’re small and subtle, when applied correctly these eye enhancers can produce remarkable results.
Up until recently many ladies believed that normally, investing in the most expensive fake lashes doesn’t necessarily mean investing in the best fake lashes and polishing off that dramatic and immaculate evening look needn’t break the bank. However, with the steady rise in popularity of the ultra luxurious and natural looking authentic mink eyelashes made affordable by such cruelty-free brands as Minki Lashes, Velour Lashes, and Aira, we confirm that more expensive is, in fact, better, when it comes to the best quality of faux eyelashes if you don’t want to wear plastic on your delicate eyes. Nevertheless, many man-made materials can still produce dramatic and show-stopping styles of eyelashes, so if you are still on the hunt for budget drugstore falsies, read on for our dramatic evening look ideas!
With many drugstores offering faux lashes at reasonable prices, Ardell is arguably the best known drugstore brand and you’ll end up paying about $3.00-$10.00 for a pair of the best fake lashes depending on which kind you like and where you buy them. Try Demi Wispies, one of the most popular styles of Ardell eyelashes. This style imitates the criss-cross pattern of many human eyelashes (some women’s lashes grow straight out so Demi’s may not be the best pair for you). Of course, it doesn’t come close to the slightly sexy messy flutter that authentic mink lashes provide, but drugstore Demi Wispies still give a dramatic evening look you are going for!
Revlon false eyelashes available at just about any drugstore are also worth a look; their Runway range allows you to emulate catwalk glamour at a very reasonable price. At $3.99 a pair, they’re great for those who prefer to wear false lashes just once or twice before tossing them away. You don’t want to be wearing the same pair of synthetic falsies too many times as the plastic material may start releasing unhealthy chemicals, especially if you use your best heated eyelash curler with them (which is a big no-no for synthetics!).
Eylure also produces some of the best fake lashes, as part of their Naturalites range they offer the Triple Lash 301 as a new addition and if coupled with strong bronze smokey eye makeup, a real statement will be made with this full and fluttery lash. Though the price is a little steeper and will set you back about $7-$12.00 it’s still cheaper than going to the salon, plus they include lash glue and can be re-used.
If you do plan on wearing the same set of best fake lashes again, you should use an oily makeup remover (also available at any drugstore) to gently wipe away any remaining glue, then rinse the lashes in water before returning them to the case in the same position they were in when you purchased them.
Eylure lashes have recently launched a gorgeous Katy Perry Color Pop Lash range. Katy, who has vowed to bring Superhero power to your lash line, endorses these violet tipped and electric blue beauties, which can be mixed and matched and layered over each other. Combine these with some Katy Perry eye makeup, be sure to exploit the bold baby pinks and bright blues she’s famous for, follow with a dusting of some gold or silver glitter eye makeup, and finally transform some of the best fake lashes with a clamp eyelash curler, and you will have created some very uniquely individual and seriously show stopping dramatic evening eyes.
