I get sooo many questions about false lashes.. so I thought I'd post my favourite brands, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to apply them! There are a ton of different companies who manufacture false eyelashes - with significant differences in price. Red Cherry lashes start at only $1.99 whereas Shu Uemura lashes can cost upwards from $30.
Quo
$5-$7 CAD (Shoppers Drug Mart)
My makeup kit is always, always, always stocked with Quo eyelashes. They are the absolute best quality for the price. The lashband has the perfect balance of stiffness & flexibility, making them a breeze to apply. 803's are perfect for natural/bridal looks & 805's for dramatic/boudoir looks.
Ardell
$5-$7 CAD (Walmart)
I'd heard the buzz surrounding Ardell lashes even before I joined the industry. If Quo lashes didn't exist, Ardell would definitely be my top pick! Tons of styles to choose from, and super affordable! My only complaint is about the lashband.. it's a little too flexible/thin for my liking which can make them a little more difficult to apply than Quo. 105's are my go-to!
MAC
$17 (Freestanding or The Bay)
There's no arguing the popularity & quality of MAC lashes - personally, I just can't get past the price for something that isn't necessarily a "fantasy" lash. If you don't mind splurging though, #7's are my top choice! Also, don't throw away the packaging - it counts towards the Back to MAC recycling program!
Make Up For Ever
$17 CAD (Sephora)
Ahhhh... the fun lashes! These are fantastic for Halloween, stage performers, "avant garde" photo shoots, etc. I love the range that MUFE offers with their lashes - everything from natural everyday lashes, to glittered/feathered/rhinestoned/coloured lashes. Loooove! Hands down the best fantasy lashes you can find! (Next to Shu Uemura of course, but we won't even go there!) Check out the 116's for some serious drama!
PS. Duo Eyelash Adhesive ($8-$10, Sephora or MAC) is your new best friend.
