The theme for this week's Antipodean Beauties challenge is Lashes. Now, I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with false lashes, so I decided I had to use some for this theme, since it is a challenge after all! I love falsies because they look fantastic on, but they often take a while to apply on my large eyes (even makeup artists have trouble sometimes) and as I'm usually doing my makeup looks at night, I'm often too tired to fuss around with them!

As you can see, paper lashes are really long, so I decided to split them up and use the butterflies on the lower lashline. If you ever use paper lashes, be really careful with them as they are quite fragile and can tear very easily. I found it helpful to gently detach them from the backing with a pair of tweezers.
Here's what I came up with!

I hope you liked the look, lovelies! What do you think of the paper lashes? If you'd like to try some out for yourself, you can buy them here (with free shipping)! If you're careful with them, you can actually get more than several uses out of them, they aren't completely fragile. :)
Don't forget to check out the other lovely looks for this week's tag!
Much love,

They look gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried them, but am curious to see how they'd look on me
Thank you!
DeleteI bet they would look stunning, only one way to find out! :) Beautybay sell them too!
Wow. They look so effective! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sarah! I kinda love them too, I have two more pairs haha!
DeleteThese look so pretty on you! Such a dramatic effect!

They look so cool! And you pull it off with such confidence, I love it! I don't think I'd be up for wearing it out and about.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ty! I think it's easy to have confidence when you're at home, haha. That being said, I wouldn't mind wearing these out! They aren't too obvious. :)
DeleteThey look so cute, very whimsical... Only you could pull those off Coco, hun ..I wouldn't have the confidence to wear those. When I read paper lashes I was really intrigued, they look like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat lipstick are you wearing? I really love the colour and the texture looks nice and moisturising too.
Hope you are having a lovely weekend xx claire
Thank you, Claire! I'm using 'Kingdom' by Beauty is Life. I can't find the online retailer at the moment, I will get back to you.
DeleteHope you had a great weekend too! xx
Wow, you look breathtaking, Nalini! Very cute lashes xx
ReplyDeleteAw, that is so sweet of you to say, Mich! Thank you! xx
DeleteWahhh love this look!! Amazing lashes! They look great on you xx
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks, Sarah! (and gosh, third Sarah to comment on this post)!
DeleteThat is so lovely of you to say! xx
Gorgeous!!! Looks so very pretty on you! But then again, you always look stunning! I've never tried anything like this! I still can't remember if I've even tried any sort of false lashes on ever!
ReplyDeleteDid you do this the other night after getting home? I had a shower and then passed out with phone in my hand :D
xx
Naww, thank you! Buying you a coffee (heck, a cocktail) just for that comment! We MUST put falsies on you, they would look stunning!
DeleteYes, I did! Blame the coffee, I was quite perky! :D
This SHOULD look a little ridiculous but it's GORGEOUS. You've done a brilliant job, as usual. I can't even imagine what sort of mess I'd end up in with false lashes!!!!!!!!!! You've done brilliantly.
ReplyDeleteWith love, my very special girl,
Trish.
Oh, thank you so much, my darling Trish...you always have the kindest and most supportive things to say!
Deletexx
I never really liked paper lashes until this post N! I think it's the butterfly on the bottom - it totally changes the look of the paper lashes into something sophisticated but whimsical! and what's your lip colour? It's awesome!! I'm guessing Apocalips maybe?
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you so much! Glad I could help change your mind! :)
DeleteI'm wearing Kingdom by Beauty Is Life, actually! The supplier has temporarily disappeared...let me get back to you!
xx
this is very interesting, reminds me of the hunger games! But i don't even wear normal fake lashes so I don't think this is for me either :)

Haha, I think they were used in HG, actually!
DeleteI don't mind them once in a while. :)
Were they comfortable? They look SO CUTE.
ReplyDeleteThey were pretty comfortable, though heavier than normal falsies!
DeleteToo cute! You look gorgeous! When I say the lashes themselves I was thinking there's no way you would wear the outside, but you pull them off really well! You could totally go out for a nice dinner wearing these! xx
ReplyDeleteNaw, thanks lovely! I think so too, they are definitely more wearable when they are split up. :)
