    So I'm trying to find a pair of false eyelashes that aren't feathers, criss-crossed or overly long. I just want some that will make my eyelashes a tad bit fuller and longer.

    Any suggestions? I'm having no luck looking online... I might have to go on a wild goose chase soon.

    Thanks!

    You can purchase "partial" lashes.  basically you just add a few in to just make your lashes look fuller, but not obvious.

    Like these.  And if the length is too long, you can just give them a trim

    Thanks, Wendy, I've seen those ones, but I actually prefer the strips, I just cut them down to size! I might have to resort to individual ones though. 

    Or maybe I can just go get the fake ones put in that last a few weeks. If I win the lottery. Haha.

    I often use false strip lashes bought from Sally's Beauty supply.  They carry both dramatic and natural looking lashes.  They are around $5 each so you could try a few different styles and see what looks best on you.

    personally i like the vampy/tranny-ness of big, fake eyelashes, but i agree that it might be too much for a wedding! at sephora, they have a eyelash set from their private brand. it includes one regular and one partial that you can use!

    or, maybe you can opt for eyelash extensions? they do them at japanese salons.

    Here's a link to all of MAC's lash strips.  Some of them look really natural!

    Shu Uemura has a line of false eyelashes, I've never tried them, but they look very quality.  I think they sell them at Sephora, or we have a Shu Uemura counter at Nordstrom.  I'm having my makeup artist apply lashes, whenever I've done it myself they end up peeling off from the side and looking ridiculous.

    i would try MAC. i think i am using them to do my makeup on the big day - my cousin was just MOH in a wedding and the bride had MAC come to the hotel suite to do all the BMs make up, many used their fake lashes and it looked great

    Personally, I like the little partial lashes because they look more realistic. You can just add them to the areas that you need, and if your glue doesn't adhere properly, you are only losing a little piece at a time and not half your lashline.

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate it. I have 4 months, so maybe I'll just try a whole bunch out!

    MAC #32's. I wore them for our engagement pics, but I think I'll bump it up a notch for the wedding. They looked very natural, though.

    I would suggest eyelash extensions. They dont hurt, they dont just al off, they are quick and relatively cheap. Check and see if they do it at the place you get your nails or will be getting your nails done at :)

    Try MAC. They will put them on for you with any purchase of lashes.

    i-Envy by Kiss make fabulous, reasonably priced lashes. This is one of my favorite styles for a really natural look http://beautyonlinesupply.com/612-8331/i-Envy:_Full_Strip_Diva. Their glue is also good, very easy to clean up. Thay make a lot of different styles. I would check in your local beauty supply stores to see them all. Good luck!

    ok, I had those individual ones done 3 days before my sisters wedding last year.  They looked great, real, not fake at all, but they almost all fell out in 2 days.  I would only get them done 1 day prior now.   I have tried to do them myself but can't do it.  I also have worn the full strips and they look hideous!

    Hi~ I like applying the clustered individual lashes under the crisscross lashes (about 4 clusters on the outer corner). I know it sounds like a lot and "drag-queen-esque" but because the you're filling in the criss cross they look naturally fuller. "THEN WHY NOT USE A FULLER BAND?" - because your natural lashes don't grow straight out. The criss cross lashes flares out (shorter on the inner corner and longer toward the outer).

    Apply mascara to attach the natural lashes to the falsies and VOILA!~
