If my stockpile of mascara and complete infatuation with Latisse are any indication, I'm a sucker for full set of perfectly defined eyelashes. Not like the ones the guidettes from the Shore so eagerly portray as "fabulicious," but more like Beyonce's on the 2006 B'Day album cover -- bold and dramatic, but not at all trashy. Naturally, I'm also obsessed with false lashes.

Now, before you write them off as only good for red carpet events and celebrity photoshoots, hear me out: Lashes are great for amping up the volume of your natural lashes, they come in a plethora of different shapes and sizes, and they're even useful when you're low on mascara. Velour Lashes (also a favorite of Bey's) are especially nifty, as they're incredibly natural-looking and can be used up to 24 times. And just take a look at me in this video -- you won't believe the total transformation you can pull off with a pair of false eyelashes.

But putting on a pair of falsies takes time and practice. After hours of trial and error in front of a mirror, I've perfected a technique for applying false eyelashes that's so simple, you'll want to slap on a pair right now.
