Kiss Ever Easy Lashes

Kiss Lashes
I was on a music video shoot over the weekend and part of the brief was to use loads of interesting eyelashes. So I got to go shopping!!! I’d heard about Kiss Ever Easy Eyelashes with their groovy little strings for quick adhesion so when I saw this pair I thought it would be perfect! There were due to be five artists doing hair and makeup for fifty dancers plus the artist so I needed products that would work well on a time crunch. Plus, the call time was 4am so it was highly unlikely I was going to be anything approaching lucid.
This was the only pair of “interesting” lashes from the Ever Easy range I could see at my local Boots. The rest were ranging from very natural to full. It’s a shame as they’re currently on 3 for 2!!!! I would have loved that! Here is the video on just how they’re supposed to work…
In practice I still think this is a brilliant idea. At first it was going really well and it definitely felt like the whole process was going super quickly. It was very easy to get quick, correct placement using the strings. However, this particular pair had a really stiff band on them so I had to get the dancer to close her eyes and then I placed her fingers on the strings so she could press down on them while the glue fully dried. Until I did that the ends kept popping up despite me having given them a really good twirl around a narrow makeup brush. I just did her hair while she held them in place as I simply didn’t have time to stand around and wait. The rest of the lashes I saw that weren’t so decorative all looked as though they had much more workable bands.
The other thing I wonder about with these lashes is the cutting process so they’re the right size. The strings are placed at each end which means if they’re too long for you there isn’t a way to cut them and still benefit from the easy placement process. The pair that I bought were quite short but I’m not sure about the more natural pairs. I think if you’re putting these on yourself as opposed to someone else it’s definitely the way to go and will make your false lash life a lot easier.
These retail for between £6.50 and £7.50. You can get yours here.
