And I do put on makeup, color my hair, all that prepping stuff, so I’m not against beauty products. Just not those ridiculous lashes.

I agree.

You don't get out much. I spend $400 a month on my lashes. You can't tell. It's a commitment though.

I don’t care really if they know they’re fake lashes, but do they think I look crazy? Or vain?

Vain. And men don't give a shit or find them to be a turnoff.

I don't do my beauty routine for men. I do them for me. Yes, I am vain and proud of it.

When they're not noticeable and appear to simply be naturally soft lashes, I have no thoughts about them because I don't know that they're there.

When they are obvious (e.g., my sister's), I think the person just hasn't taken a good, realistic look at themselves in the mirror or had anyone actually be honest about how they look.

When they are garish, well -- they're just garish. And it makes me sad that people in real life are trying to emulate the look of celebrities who only wear that stuff on stage or for events.

I don't wear lash extensions because I'm lazy but I have friends who do and you would never guess it. They look like nice normal lashes with zero mascara clumping because no mascara needed.

Yes. At the place I go for my lashes I see older women and women you would never stereotype as “glam” or whatever you want to call it. The older women get them because as you age your lashes become sparser. They look natural and pretty. Sure there are many women who go over the top with this but just as many women who do it and it’s not obvious.

When they are done right and not too excessive they can be beautiful. I am a very natural minimal makeup person and sometimes I’ll get them done. When I do I get so many compliments. (Not the lashes specifically. Just telling me I look great ) but I have pretty eyes to begin with, so I am told. And they just dramatically enhance them more than just mascara. But they damage your natural lashes and are expensive and annoying. If they were easier to maintain I would get them all the time.

Trust me, he doesn't. He's humoring you while quietly seething about the waste of money.

Cheesy. I equate these to lip fillers- they never look natural.

If I can notice them, they are not done correctly.

I think they make you look unserious and unprofessional.

I didn't hire a lawyer partially because she had massive fake lashes. It tracked that she told me she was going through a divorce. Seemed like she would be more worried about a new social life than my case.

Most of the time it looks like their eyes are furry.

Dumb

They look like clowns.
