Most of us ladies eagerly anticipate those extra special nights out, you know the ones where we can let our hair down, pull out that gorgeous dress, don those six inch heels that have only ever been worn around the living room and adorn those flashy makeup colors we’ve been itching to try. Sadly for many of us, events that call for the deployment of our full makeup arsenal are few and far between and the majority of our wardrobe and makeup purchases were made with only one thing in mind – every day wear.
Natural looking false eyelashes are a perfect way to spice up your everyday attire and to even relieve you from having to apply a heavy layer of messy mascara that often leaves smudges. They’re an instant pretty, by simply enhance what’s already there they add femininity when it’s most needed. You may be surprised to learn that falsies are actually in many women’s daily beauty routine, and not just for special occasions!
Before we get to the juicy part of the article, we should mention that the most natural looking everyday false eyelashes on the market are actually natural eyelash extensions made of authentic mink, applied one by one strand to your own lashes at your local salon by a certified technician; and these will stay on for about 2 months depending on your own eyelash growth cycle. If you choose not to have eyelashes extensions done for one reason or another, your next best option in your search for the most natural looking false eyelashes is individual lashes attached by a visible or nearly invisible knot at the base a.k.a. flares, which you can apply at home with a long lasting eyelash adhesive. With these, although not the easiest to apply for a newbie, you can control the fullness and dramatic effect of your lashline. Ardell eyelashes (made mostly of human hair and synthetic fibers) are arguably the most used flares in the world. Third in line in terms of level of difficulty of application, are the relatively new on the market – trio individual lashes, which are a perfect alternative for those who want an in-between level of complexity and an ultra-natural effect. Instead of applying your flare lashes one by one, you can now ease your application process by attaching 3 full individual clusters attached to the band, at once. If about 12 to 26 flare “knots” fit on a typical strip lash (depending on cluster thickness), then the trio would be about a fourth or fifth of the length of your regular false lash strip.
Finally, arguably the most convenient natural looking false eyelashes for everyday use are half lashes, a.k.a. accent lashes! There are many reputable brands of most natural looking half lashes available on the market today. From the cheaper drugstore Revlon and Eyelure to EcoTools (endorsed by Alicia Silverstone) who provide one of the most green options by offering an earth-friendly lash systems that only uses cruelty-free synthetic materials, to the ultra luxurious (yet quite affordable) Minki Lashes made of authentic cruelty-free Siberian mink, you can sure find the right one for your eye shape and budget.
Half false eyelashes are perfect for those days when you want to exude an understated beauty, these natural looking false eyelashes appear so real that they’ll add a sparkle to your eyes without anyone ever thinking that the beauty their eyes are beholding is anything other then your own natural and enviable gorgeousness. Half lashes are actually a great alternative for eyelash newbies, as they are much easier to apply than an entire lash line at once, especially on your first try, and they look less exaggerated than the full strip yet offer the noticeable effect that most women are after. Most people want and extra “oomph” in the outer corner of their eyes for a more dramatic effect, so always start applying your falsies to the outside first and move towards the inner corner. cut them in half and treat each eye as two pairs. It makes application a lot easier, trust us.
If you’re a believer in the motto ‘if you look good, you feel good’ then these natural looking false eyelashes will most definitely boost your confidence. Most packs come with clear instructions and eyelash adhesive and you’ll find that these soft lashes will work extraordinarily well with natural makeup for brown eyes. If you apply a warm shade of sparkle eyeshadow, smudge black eyeliner along your lash line and coat the lashes with the best natural mascara you’ll have instantly created a lovely natural and effortless eye makeup look.
For the days when you have a little more prep time, exchange the natural looking false eyelashes made of cheaper synthetic fibers for some more upscale mink lashes (beware cheap imitations of mink though!); trimming them to the length of your own lashes will give you a full and thick natural feeling lash. Add a little drama by using some dark but gentle eyeshadow and accentuate with some smudged dark eyeliner and you’ll have created the perfect daytime smokey eye that will see you gorgeously carrying out your daily routine.
