I got the funniest text from one of my girlfriends the other night… “Can I suggest something for you to write about?” Of course I replied, I love when people suggest topics because well, I run out of things to talk about so it makes my life easier. Anyway, here was her text:
“Can you write about how many fake things are appropriate? For example: I want extensions, colored contacts, sometimes long nails like Rhianna, sometimes extra long eyelashes… if I ever got surgery (Which I wouldn’t) I’d want a nose job, an ass job, and ummm a tummy tuck! Lol but obviously that’s way too much so what’s the appropriate amount of fakeness at one time?”
I died at this text because if you saw her you’d be like huh? She’s sooo cute and naturally beautiful so I was caught off guard by her even asking all that BUT, here is my reply. Of course all of me wants to say natural is the best way to go, however I’d be a hypocrite if I said that. Being a girly girl, it’s inevitable … we’re going to want to play around with some fake things here and there, and in my opinion, a little extra help is fine as long as you still appear pretty natural. Key word being pretty. You can look done up a bit, but don’t over do it.
Lets break it down further:
1. Extensions: So you want extensions? Fine. But people shouldn’t be able to tell right away that you have a head full of fake hair. Girls with that long, fresh outta the package, pin straight hair? No. I love extensions, but get your hair cut professionally after getting them. Your extensions should look natural. Always buy real human hair, and be sure that your real hair and the extensions blend perfectly. (Color and length)

2. Color contacts: Never. Too tacky, too fake, too weird. You’re not a celebrity at an award show, it’s just weird to me unless it’s for a themed party/ event. Brit has brown eyes and I remember her wearing blue contacts to an award show one year and wondering why. Idk just not my thing.
3. Fake Eyelashes: I obviously love fake lashes, but again like the hair extension rule, people should only be able to tell if they are 1inch from your face. Anything too long or dramatic? No. And girls that wear the drug store eyelashes? Please make sure they fit your eyelid, so over seeing improper eyelash application. Cut them to fit your natural eyelash line if they are too long, and go easy on the mascara. The fake lash is dark enough, use the mascara to blend in your real lashes with the fake ones.
