Mascara Vs. False Eyelashes | Do You Need False Lashes To Achieve The Perfect Level Of Extra
By Nneka Olisa - October 26, 2019
I'm
not going to sit here and publish a post on how mascara is a lot better than
false lashes. Nah... Let's save that for another day.
Once
upon a time, I was a mascara girl (I think I still am), but false lashes has
taking about 50% of that love away.
False
lashes are legit the current trend which has been irrevocably non-suppressible
over the years. It is such a beauty plus in virtually every lady's makeup routine.
This
item which was formerly used for specific purpose like artistic creations in
dramas, movies, musicals and so on had evolved and most individuals find it
appropriate to wear it almost every day.
No
denying that it is a great beauty plus item, I mean it takes your look from a
50 to roof top 100 in a second but what happened to the good old mascara.
I
remember when I was in secondary school (high school), the privilege of getting
my hands on a proper mascara was not an option. Seeing the need for making my
lashes pop at that tender age I had to substitute my hair gel in place of
mascara.
I'd
use a toothbrush to substitute for a mascara spoolie brush and gently take
little of the gel from its cup and apply on my upper lashes.
Well
for me, my lashes then was always popping and the gel gave it extra-extra
volume.... meanwhile I had to be careful not to let any gel get into my eyes to
avoid ruining the whole process by getting teary.
Over
the years, I fell in-love with mascara abandoning my first love which was easy
because of the comfort that came with owning mascara and not stressing about
the whole gel and some toothbrush process.
The
reign of mascara soon came to an abrupt stop (although people still use it).
False lashes invaded and took over the show. Right now we have falsies
ranging from very short to a voluminous and long class.
There
are two lash processes which have been used over the years.
The semi-permanent step: I find this process very stressful and
tiring. When you go for this process, get ready to wear that lashes all day,
every day____ from the second you wake up from sleep in the morning _____ all
through your daily activities, till you retire for bed at night for at least 2
straight weeks.
Now,
while most people find this process a plus because they probably don't have the
strength to fix the falsies every day, so they just go for this process and
wear the falsies all week long, I think it's a very stressful process and it
can be a huge burden having those falsies steady on your eyelids for a whole
week or even two. For someone like me who enjoys washing her face including my
eyes every day, I think this process would be a huge burden to me.
If
eventually you get tired or bored of the falsies and want to take it off, it
can be a whole lot of stress too because much of the glue used for the false
lashes have now made an almost permanent residue on your real lashes.
Therefore, when you happen to remove the falsies, be sure to have some of your
real lashes gone too.
The temporary step: This step is the best thing that
happened to false lashes as far as I'm concerned. Been able to take off your
entire makeup including false lashes at the end of the day is healthy for your
skin and also for your state of mind.
Personally, I would opt for the second option which does not involve being on a falsie all week. Also, on most occasions I still tend to revisit mascara age and try to still look natural while going for a soft glam.
