Fake eyelashes are one of those beauty products normally reserved for a girls' night out or a big event. To that we say: Boring. We're here to prove that false lashes can be worn everywhere without looking out of place -- from work to date night to spin class. (Okay, maybe not spin class -- we're not Kardashians, after all.)

((Joke's on them. We stayed up all night watching "Game of Thrones.")
Here, nine confidence-boosting ways to wear false lashes, ranked from subtle to saucy -- and the best false eyelashes to recreate each look.
