Any type of Fake lashes are hideous and only look slightly less hideous in photos

r/

Can someone please explain the appeal? It always looks like you have broom fibers attached to your eyes irl. I’ll admit, in pictures it doesn’t look terrible! But if you see it in person? Always looks horrendous, tacky and itchy.

    This is a form of selection bias: you cannot know that ALL fake lashes look bad, only that the ones that you personally can flag as fake looks bad.

    I feel like they’re kind of like plastic surgery. The good ones you don’t even notice and think it just looks good. But the bad ones stick out and make you look artificial and strange.

    Any type ?

    You mean “bad fake lashes”.

    Because you cannot notice good fake lashes.

    100% agree. The big fake lashes trend looks so trashy.

    They might be going for a more dramatic look that just doesn’t appeal to you, fair enough on both sides, we all have our preferences.

    That being said, the lack of brown false lashes is actually really frustrating. I like to stick on a subtle half band of falsies every so often, but they’re just so dark that it does tend to look instantly pretty obviously fake on me. I’m pale and have light hair so even a light coat of black mascara looks very dramatic. I’ve found brown false lashes in the past that I think look really nice and natural, but they’re almost impossible to find without going to an expensive specialty store. The black ones are fine imo if I want a really dramatic look, but if I just want to have slightly longer, thicker eyelashes without breaking the bank I’m shit outta luck lol.

    Yeah the super thick ones are odd to me as well. You can’t even see the eye’s at that point, which really defeats the intention of wearing lashes.

    You think this because you can’t tell when they’re done well.

    This is another scenario in which you only notice bad fake lashes.

    Every woman on television wears fake lashes.
