Shorter False Lashes: Eyemazing

Today's false eyelashes: Eyemazing Ciffone Line no. 402, "Party eye". Side note: I'm pretty sure that "ciffone" is a misspelling of "chiffon". These lashes are somewhat shorter than a lot of others I've tried, so I was curious to see how they'd look. Here are the lashes out of the packaging:

Until you get to about two thirds of the way out toward the outer corner of the eye, the lashes really aren't very long. But the way they cross to form little points gives an interesting look. The band the lashes are attached to is a little thicker than what I'm used to; I mostly use D.U.P. lashes, and those tend to have very thin bands. But these lashes did cost less than D.U.P. lashes, so that's also a consideration.

I didn't take any "before" pictures this time, but I think the effect of the lashes should be pretty visible even without something to compare it to. First, here's my whole face:

 I didn't do a great job of applying the lashes symmetrically,  so you're going to get a different effect depending on which eye we're looking at. But first, let's see how the pointy tips look.

On this eye, I didn't apply them quite as close to the lash line as I usually try to, and the pointiness is more visible this way. It wasn't done deliberately, but it does give me an idea of the effect of placement.

Here's the other eye. I applied the lashes much closer to my lash line, and they don't look nearly as pointy. 

And this is what both eyes look like. You can see a big difference between the two. Although the lashes on the left side of the picture look more unnatural up close (they are further from my natural lash line), I think the effect is much more interesting. I prefer the pointy look.

These were the first Eyemazing lashes I've bought, and I have to say that while I like the style, I'm not very impressed with the quality. I trimmed the bands to fit my eyes properly, but even at the right length they were somewhat uncomfortable. Usually after a few minutes I more or less forget that I'm wearing the lashes, but I couldn't really adjust to these ones. I took them off fairly quickly. I'll probably give them another shot sometime in the near future, but it doesn't look like Eyemazing will be a brand I buy more of.

Side note about the incidental makeup: 

In these pictures I'm wearing a new lipstick I just got two days ago. It's "Centrifuchsia" by Lime Crime. The lighting in my bathroom isn't great, so I'd say that it's actually even brighter than it looks here. It's probably my new favorite lipstick; the color is really rich and it goes on very smoothly. It also smells like marshmallows and is vegan (contains no animal products and is not tested on animals), which is pretty cool as well. 

I'm also wearing some gold eyeliner from Lime Crime. The shade is called "Rhyme". These pictures don't show it very well, but it's quite beautiful and the color is really solid. I put it over the top of my black eyeliner, and all you can see is the gold. It's also nice and shiny. 

Since my photography is pretty crap, I'd strongly recommend checking out the actual shades of the eyeliner and lipstick on the Lime Crime webpage. My lighting is very poor, so my pictures didn't come out true-to-life. The ones on the web site are much, much more accurate.
