If I put on false eyelashes (never have before!) on erev Shabbat, are they gonna come off before, say, shalosh seudos?

(I'm a stomach sleeper if that makes a difference.)

I feel like this is probably a dumb question, but I gotta ask.

It should last a good day or two. I had to remove them each time myself- none of the pieces came off on its own.

Oh really?? I totally thought they'd come right off. Didn't know whether I'd somehow have to apply super glue. LOL

Thank you! Any particular brand you can recommend? I mean, would you just grab any off the shelf at Walmart, e.g.? Very Happy

I always feel like so many frum women know alllll the makeup tricks and I know nothing.

I love makeup and have a massive collection, and so do a lot of my friends. I know more than any of my friends, tricks, tips, etc, I watch many many youtube videos. I have never seen a frum person use false lashes nor have any idea how I would do it. Most youtubers do it off camera.

That's not to say I won't try it someday, nor you shouldn't do it. They sound and look fun! I just know I'd get addicted....so yeah.

Don't feel like an idiot. Most people I know haven't heard of false lashes lol

Lately I also became more into my makeup. And after having my face done professionally I was totally obsessed with false lashes and wanted to try then myself. Im curious which is easier to apply the strip or individuals? I actually tried the strip and was having a hard time... was wondering if individuals is easier...

the individual ones are more natural looking and you don't have to put them everywhere. if one falls off you prob wont notice. but the full lash ones can easily look very tacky and, ahem, slutty. so just make sure you buy nice whispy natural looking ones. research on youtube first.

Not in Israel...oh that reminds me I had ONE friend who were falses at her wedding, they were really big and looked AWFUL, really unnatural. From someone who never wears makeup to heavy heavy and massive fasles...just no, she didn't look like herself.

But it was her wedding, she's my friend, and well I obviously didn't tell her this. I told her she looked amazing and gushed over everything.

Anyway, I like the natural falses, the ones that are like your eyelashes, but better.

Trios are the easiest to apply on yourself. They're like the individuals but 3 stuck together on a row.
I find the individuals too hard to do on myself.

The only time I wore false eyelashes was at my son's wedding, and I had a really had time getting it off - even days later. But it's possible the make-up lady used something stronger than they sell in a regular store.

You can’t be very into makeup if you haven’t seen the frum (including Chassidish) women wearing them.

False eyelashes have been pretty common within the frum world in the past few years, especially for simchos.
And I'm sure in Israel too. I follow some makeup people on Instagram who are based in Israel and they definitely use falsies when doing makeup.
You probably didn't realize that they are fake and just assumed these people have amazing lashes with the perfect mascara.
