Does anyone wear their false eyelashes for longer than a day at a time?

Beauty

So I’ve been doing some research recently into the semi-permanent DIY lash systems (Lashify and other brands). The premise of putting on lashes once and having them last several days appeals to my lazy nature. However, I really prefer the selection of asian falsies that are available. I just find that they fit my eyes better and look way more natural than Western ones.

I’ve heard that people will use the Lashify method with off brand strip lashes that they cut up into segments. I know that a lot of asian lash users already cut up their lashes into segments to apply. I’m wondering if people know the difference, if any, between these two application methods? And if you could apply Asian falsies the same way, and leave them on for several days before needing to redo them?

I use Lashify and I love it. I got lash extensions before but Lashify keeps my lashes healthier. Plus when I have a lash segment fall out I can reapply myself. I get more compliments on my lashes now than when I got lash extensions professionally.

I typically do my lashes once a week. I’ve gotten 10 days max out of them. Stay away from very hot showers to preserve longevity. I’m lazy and a hot mess so if I can do it anyone can.

Hello!

I cannot comment on the semi-permanent DIY lash system but I want to comment on the method of cutting band strip lashes into segment as it's a practice I do.

The main difference is that cutting band lash strip feels like stiff on the lash line for me. If I put the entire band on, some glued part of the band will start to lift after a few hours if the glue is not strong enough. This happens especially to the end of the band. It also feels like the lash band tugs on my lash line if I laugh a bit too hard or blink a bit too hard.

If I cut them up, they stay on longer and it looks more natural depending on how I apply them so I prefer to cut the lash bands when I use false makeup.

As for leaving the lashes on, I've seen some practices done and this might be something that stemmed from lash extension methods (I think band lashes would be less tedious) but if you do that, make sure the glue you're using are safe for your eyes. I hear that the semi-permanent glues can really irritate your eyes.

How many pieces do you usually cut the lash into, if you don’t mind me asking?

Depends on my patience to be frank ahahaha.

If I am in a rush, I cut into 3. If I want to look really natural, I cut into 5. I've also tried cutting into even smaller pieces, which is like 7 but it is so tedious so I just do that when I have the luxury of time of prepping for an event.

Thank you!! I’m going to try it out! Do you just position them wherever you feel you want some more lashes? Sorry I’m a total noob haha

It's okay! I'm glad I could help cuz I was a noob myself too.

With band lashes, I kind of position them along my lashline where it would feel natural and look natural. E.g. if I stick them too close, my lashes would look a bit wonky. If too far apart, same wonkiness as well.

So, I try to spread them along in equal spacing between them as I feel fit.

If you need video aid, please refer to 'My Fairy Lashes' video from Pony. I think that video will make a lot of sense for you in terms of application.

Hope this helps! Please feel free to ask me if you need more info. Would be happy to help!

I used Flutter Habit (like Lashify) once for one application, and it lasted me about 3 days, but probably because I'm anal about cleaning and I did use oil cleanser to try to get all my eye makeup off, even though they don't recommend it (but I can't stand the thought of leaving any trace of makeup on). I never used it again (RIP my money) because for three days it just didn't seem worth the trouble. I also had a very hard time removing all my makeup from the lashes, glittery eyeshadow gets very easily caught in the lashes/between my lashes.

I've tried the mermaid tail lashes with Lashify glue and it works. I've also tried them with Lashify glue dupes from Amazon and it also works. But I only get 2 days of wear since I have hooded lids and it puts pressure and friction on them. However, when I applied it on my friend, she got 5 days out of it.
