It had been a minute since the last time I wore false lashes, but I went there on Halloween. Thankfully, I remembered an absolutely game-changing tip when it comes to falsies. If you’ve every had trouble applying them (and who hasn’t?), what you need to do is hunt down a set of UD Urban Lash False Eyelashes.
They’ll make your life easier.
Doesn’t really matter which style… Seriously, it’s not about the lashes themselves, although they’re pretty good too.
But I’m all about that lash glue. I think it’s the best out there. I stockpile Urban Decay falsies just to get more of the glue!
I think it’s even better than Duo lash glue, which you can find everywhere and almost everyone (except me) seems to like… I think it’s 1) stinky and 2) almost too sticky, and unless I place it perfectly that first time, it’s darned near impossible to lift the lashes off to re-position them.
Urban Decay’s glue, on the other paw, doesn’t stink (YAY!), and it has some “leeway” to it, meaning that I can lift off the lashes and put them back on a few times (which always happens because I never get it perfect on the first try) before committing to the final positioning.
It’s just so easy! Plus, once it’s dry, it doesn’t move at all.
The viscosity of the UD glue is perfect, too. It isn’t too runny or too thick, which are other issues I have with Duo. The consistency of the formula varies wildly, whereas I’m consistently able to apply the exact amount of UD’s glue I need on the lash band.
Oh, and when you open the tube, there’s also the teeny, very skinny applicator, and it’s easy to get just the littlest amount of glue on your false lashes with it, which is crucial because you want to use the least amount of glue you can get away with (bonus: one tube will last a while).
Did I mention the style I’m wearing in this pic? It’s called HBIC.
I mean…by no means is it a natural lash look, but it’s great for ? parties and cutting-loose days.

I need to try this glue. I still have not mastered getting false lashes on. No matter how much I trim the ends I end up with one end or the other sticking out and not adhering to my lash line. Are UD lashes and glue available anywhere else besides the UD website?
Tati Westbrook recommends House of Lashes glue. It’s latex free, which a plus in my book. She says it lasts like a week and you’ve been forewarned.
I couldn’t handle glue that lasts a week, oh my gosh! The UD lasts but is easily removable with an oil-based makeup remover. I’ve seen them on the Macy’s website, and have a vague recollection of seeing them at Macy’s a while back.
I hate the smell of Duo, so I’ll have to check that out. I rarely go into the Macy’s near me because there’s never anyone to help you out. It’s so empty of sales help and the racks and counters are always so messy. Wish it wasn’t so, because I don’t always have time to dig through the racks to find something.
At least the MAC counter usually has at least one sales associate.
I’ve noticed the same thing about the Macy’s near me too. The only counter that ever seems to have someone around is MAC.
I have a friend who works at UD . Calling her right now !
Happy Tuesday ❤️
Ok, but what I need are these lashes!! I’ve never seen lashes like these.
Hi Miki,
The style is called HBIC Babies. 🙂
I use and like the DUO lash glue, but you are right, it doesn’t smell good. I will see if I can sniff the Urban Decay version somewhere.
Not that I wear false lashes more than maybe twice a year.
You can’t, unless the counter allows you to open up the boxes. The glue is unscented.
I doubt they’d do that, ha! I was thinking finding someone that owns it, but if it is completely unscented, I´ll just take your word for it.
Nope, no scent at all!
I’ll have to check it out! I don’t wear falsies super often – mostly for shows. I’ve been using a KISS brand glue because a burlesque friend recommended it as non irritating.
And I definitely never position them right the first try!
