Partial lashes: D.U.P. Secret Line "Girly Eyes"

On to our next batch of false eyelashes! This time I'm looking at D.U.P. Secret Line "Girly Eyes", Model's Type 920. They're partial strip lashes that are meant to be worn at the middle of the eye. Which is to say, they don't extend all the way to the corners of the eyes; they just add fullness at the center. I've actually already worn these out once or twice, but am just now getting around to taking some pictures.

Here's our baseline. I'm wearing some pink eye shadow, black cream eyeliner (Sephora), and Maybelline Volum'Express Turbo Boost Mascara. I didn't think to curl my eyelashes, which will have some consequences later.





Now, for the eyelashes.They're part of the "Aiku Maikawa Model's Selections" series. Sorry for the poor lighting and glare, but this should give you an idea of what the packaging looks like, at least.

And here's what they look like on my eyes. I think the effect would've been even more natural if I'd thought to curl my lashes ahead of time, but that didn't occur to me tonight. Still, the added volume is quite nice, and they blend in pretty well.



Even looking very closely, the lash band is nearly invisible. Like the other set of D.U.P. partials I looked at before, they come on a clear strip, so they blend in with your skin (or in this case, my eyeliner). 



The overall look is very natural, but definitely an improvement on my actual lashes. I've worn them out during the day and felt very comfortable with them. Sometimes if I wear false eyelashes out and about I'll hear random schoolgirls around me commenting on them (I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I have learned the word for eyelashes), but with these ones no one seemed to notice. These may be my new favorites.
