I often get asked how to choose the right false eyelashes for the right occasion. It can be difficult to choose wisely, even for the most seasoned false-lash wearer. There are loads of variables to consider when trying to buy fake eyelashes, things like eye-shape and style of eye-makeup can sometimes play a part. This guide is the best rule-of-thumb style guide you’ll get without getting too complicated.

How to choose the right false eyelashes for the right occasion
The job interview
When you’ve got a job interview and your own natural lashes just aren’t cutting it, you need these subtle false lashes in ‘Shy’. They look great with a pair of designer glasses. They’re fluttery and flirty without being obviously false. When you want to look your best but come across as sensible and wise, you don’t want your lashes to be too much. These lashes will add a small amount of volume and length, enhancing your natural lashline and going one step better than just mascara.

The Wedding Lashes
These are what I wore on my wedding day and I was really pleased with how they looked. I wanted stunning lashes and I wanted volume but I didn’t want to look like I was on a night out, I wanted to look ‘old Hollywood’ kind of Classy. These are perfect for those sort of occasions. A wedding is a prime example but any classy outing calls for these. I particularly like how they fan out towards the temples and are shorter towards the nasal edge for a natural taper.

The night out
These are thick and full and ultra-glam! This is my go-to style of false lash for a night on the town. I always think if there’s going to be selfies and the lighting is bad (like in bars and clubs) you need to lay it on a little thick on the makeup front. Full, thick lashes are a must if you’re out with the girls.

An Awards Evening
These are perfect if you or your partner are up for any swanky industry awards at work. They’re also perfect for charity balls and anything else that’s a black-tie event. A thick wall of lashes will always amp up your glam-levels and make you stand out from the crowd!

For the absolute beginner at false eyelashes
We all have to start somewhere and if the thought of false lash application fills you with dread then you should start here. The lashes that come with the applicator kit sit half way between subtle and sultry. They’ll comfortable complement any situation and if you’re a bit nervous at sticking them on, the applicator will save your skin (and save you fingers from getting stuck to your face.

KISS haven’t asked me to write this post, it’s just a brand I love. I first tried their lashes in this Glossybox and fell in love instantly. Since then I’ve been working my way through the range and I’ve narrowed down my favourites (included above).

I am forever buying lashes thinking i can put them on and i never can…..but lo and behold the next time I go out I but some more as I have forgotten I cant put them on! Before or after make up…..? That is the question lol

I love dramatic false eyelashes. I love to make a statement
Wow awesome prize great range to try.

My eyelashes have never been thick and long but I have never dared try falsies
I think the light lashes look the best.
My daughter would love this, though shes not practicing this on me.
Haha good call!
Great to see an example of which lashes go with which occasion. The amount of times I’ve had to trim the length as I’d bought the wrong style for what I wanted.
My Grand Daughter would love these
I have tried false lashes a few times but they just don’t work when you wear glasses!
Very interesting! Thankyou!
I love the idea of false eyelashes but can never get them to stay on. I didn’t realise there was a little applicator to help!
Who would have thought that there’s so many different styles for so many occasions? Wonderful, and they all look great!
I always have trouble with this but my daughter manages well!
great prize – love to experiment with new products
Me too! If I could afford it, I’d spend my days trying new stuff out! x
Great guide, I have seen a lot of people out and about who you can tell right away are wearing false lashes for the occasion. I learned to apply them properly a couple of years back and haven’t looked back. This guide should come with every pair of lashes available especially for those people that really overdo it lol..
This is more for my grandaughter, I would make a right mess using these, eyesight not very good
The products available now re much better than those I used to try. Many thanks for the useful post and giveaway.
my granddaughter uses false eyelashes all the time
I would be over the moon, to win this i would be lash envy off my friends and nails on fleek, and i sure as hell would share with my bff, as we say sharing is caring.
I have only recently started wearing false eyelashes so this blog was very useful to me ?
I’ve never worn them so decided to buy some from the pound shop and went to wear them and the glue had dried up.
I can’t get the nails to stay on so would love to see how these are 🙂
