If you get the fake lashes, make sure you are not allergic to the glue. I have heard of this happening in rare cases.

Before I got married I want to see how I would look and feel with fake lashes... I use Lisa Pena from lisasmagicalweddings.com to do my hair and make up. She told me to go the MAC Store and buy the lashes and try them on Mac Rep will help you with that. Make sure you get he full ones lashes not separate lashes... Make sure you feel comfortable with them before the wedding... Myself and my whole bridal party wore them and we were all very happy with them. We bought ours and Lisa put them in at no extra charge... Maybe you should ask the lady that is doing your make up if she will do the same... Especially if you are buying your own... Remember try them.... Mine last 3 days and I even forgot they were there...lol
Good Luck!!!

False lashes are wonderful to add definition and drama!

I wear fake lashes for special occasions and I put them on myself. I practiced quite a bit before the first event I wore them to, however. Practice is essential!

I like the individual lash clusters because you can really customize the look. These are also easier to trim, if needed. These are also more natural looking on me as I am a redhead and my real lashes are blonde. The full strips don't blend very well with with my natural lashes.

I've found that if you let the glue get a little tacky before you put them on, they stay put much better and are easier to place. Also, a good pair of point-tipped tweezers is essential in placing them! Liquid or gel eyeliner is also good for filling in the gaps between the falsies and your real lashes.

My favorite brands are Andrea or Ardell for individual lashes. You can get these at any drugstore and they are very affordable if you want to practice and play around with falsies! (Around $3 or less!) Allure magazine recently reviewed false eyelashes and they recommended these brands as well.

For full strips, I like MAC or Shu Umerua for really flashy ones!

Sephora also has a "lash bar" with many different types of lashes and tools. (Click on each brand to show more options than are displayed.) The salespeople at Sephora are usually very helpful and knowledgeable and will help you apply them. (I wore the black rounded feather lashes by Make Up For Ever for my recent 25th birthday party. Sometimes it is fun to be over-the-top!)

I do recommend trying different styles and practicing until you feel comfortable. Patience is essential, too. Hope that helps and good luck!

I got my ponytail at the mall at a kiosk called SOHO and they are at several malls in the St Louis area, not sure if it is a chain, locally or nationally. I liked it because it did not have the unnatural shine that a lot of hair pieces do. It was about 30 bucks, so that's not too bad!
