hey guys so for today's video we are talking about half lashes i'm launching two new half lash styles
for my lash brand the bright lashes i'm so excited to share these lashes with you because i am
obsessed i have not stopped wearing them they're like literally all i wear right now and half
lashes are amazing so i'm going to kind of talk about these lashes and why i created these lashes
and then i'm going to show you exactly how to apply these lashes from start to finish i'm also
going to show you how i remove them so let's get into it so the two new styles i'm launching are
flutter and flare right now i am wearing the style flutter they are so cute and so so comfortable
and that's the best part about half lashes so i created these lashes because i feel like for 20
21 the style of eye makeup is very soft simple and kind of that whole fox eye trend was there
the cat eye trend is here so a lot of people are just doing that really pretty soft like a lifted
eye look and i found myself always like cutting my original lashes in half like i would cut the
style 24 in half i would cut the style adorned in half those were really pretty as a half lash and
i was like i need to create a half lash because i've also tried other brands half lashes and there
aren't many half lashes on the market like the first one that comes to my mind is the ardell ones
and i'm just not a fan of ardell lashes in general they're just very plasticky and flimsy to me and
those just never look soft and natural and i've just always been searching for good half lashes
online and you'll see that not many brands carry them so i thought let me just make them myself so
there's a couple things that i really like about half lashes first of all they're easier to apply
because they're literally just half a lash you don't need to trim them and you don't really have
to like mess with the band to get it to adjust your eye because you really just pop on the outer
corner and you're good to go and i also just love the kind of dough eye effect that half lashes give
your eyes it just gives that really soft pretty lifted look and i also really like them because
they are so much more comfortable than a full strip lash because again they're just on your
outer corner and personally i'm always getting stabbed by my lashes in the inner corner right
here like no matter what brand i use even with my brand it happens you know and i just hate
being stabbed in the inner corner but that is not going to happen with these lashes so introducing
a flutter and flare to my bright lashes line so these two lashes might look kind of similar at
first but there are a few differences between them and i'm going to pop up some pictures here to show
you as well so flare is like a true half lash and this one's just so gorgeous because it has very
soft wispy tips that will just add a really nice amount of volume and length on the outer corner
of your lashes and then for flutter the strip of this lash is actually slightly longer than flare
so it's kind of in between like a half lash and a three-quarters lash but again you shouldn't need
to trim this lash out of the box you totally can if you want but this should fit most eye shapes
and this lash has a really pretty taper to it so it starts a little bit shorter here and gets
a little bit longer and this one is a little bit fuller than flare i honestly can't pick a favorite
though because i think they both just look beautiful but i do gotta say if you're a fan of
my all natural lash you will love flutter they're very similar looking but again flutter is going to
be easier to apply and a lot more comfortable on your eyes all right now let's get into exactly how
i apply these lashes so i have all my makeup done and just a little bit of eyeshadow on my eyes i
always like to have just a little bit of eyeliner on when i'm wearing any kind of fake eyelashes so
for that you could use a pencil a gel a liquid or an eyeshadow as an eyeliner so i'm going to use a
black eyeshadow as my eyeliner because i feel like it just looks much softer overall so you
can use any black eyeshadow you like i'm gonna go into the makeup by mario master mattes palette and
i'm gonna take the black on an angled brush and i'm just gonna press that along my top lash line
so just like that super simple and soft all right i have that black eyeshadow down on both
eyes now the next step is going to be mascara so one thing i do differently when i'm wearing
half lashes versus full lashes is how i apply my mascara if i'm wearing a full strip lash you
know that lashes covering up all of my eyelashes so i kind of just do like a sloppy job with my
mascara i just like lightly coat my lashes and call it good but with half lashes the half lash
is only covering the outer half of your lashes you want to make sure that your natural lashes
right in here are going to look good so one of my current favorite mascaras is the colourpop
act natural mascara and i'm going to use the shade black so i'm just gonna apply mascara as normal
but once i get to my inner lashes i'm just gonna be careful with that and make sure they look good
and by look good i just mean like being more careful when you're applying your mascara right
here and making sure you really do coat these lashes because these ones are kind of easy to miss
now i'm just going to let that mascara dry down and clean off any mascara marks
now i'm going to do one more step which isn't necessary but again i just want my natural
lashes to look good underneath the half lashes so i'm gonna take a lash comb but this one is by
japonesque and after my mascara has dried i'm just gonna lightly comb through my lashes and
this is just gonna get rid of like any big clumps and make sure my lashes are pretty separated this
probably looks terrifying i know and now my eyes are ready for some fake lashes all right so i'm
gonna start with the new lash flare and this is exactly what it's gonna come like in the
box but again these ones are more of a true half lash compared to flutter and i just want to show
you guys an example really quick like this is a fresh pair of 24 like you can see how full these
are and how they are full strip lash whereas these are flare so they really are a half lash
so with any new lash you want to take it gently out of the case and i like to take a pair of
tweezers and start from the outer corner at the base of the lash and gently lift that up
and then i just can use my finger to gently peel off the rest of it
never pull from the tip of the lashes always pull from the base and the best part about
these lashes is that you don't need to trim them at all you could if you wanted to if your eyes
are like really small but they're designed to be applied straight out of the box so now you
just take your favorite lash glue my favorite is the duo brush on adhesive with vitamins it's the
brush on with the green labeling all right so i have my lash like that and just brush on the glue
i'm just gonna let that sit for like 15 30 seconds and i like to apply my lashes with my fingers but
you could use an applicator if that's easier for you so as i'm going to apply these lashes i hold
a tiny little mirror in my hand and i'm going to look down into the mirror as i pop on the lash
so easy because it's not a full lash you don't really have to like fuss with the inner corner
because that's the part that i struggle the most with with strip lashes is getting that
inner corner down and getting it to stay but these are just so much easier to apply
so i'm gonna let this eye dry and i'm gonna start the other eye all right my lashes tacky
all right so now this eye is pretty much dry so i'm going to take my bright lashes
little applicator tool but i like to use it as a squeezy tool and i'm gonna sandwich my
lashes in between this applicator and just squeeze my natural lashes with the half lash
and then after the lashes are on and secure i like to go back in with my
black eyeshadow and just touch up that liner just a little bit
now the lashes are glued on and i got one more step that i like to do just to make everything
look nice and seamless together this part isn't necessary but i find that it just makes it look
a lot more seamless with the fake lashes going into my natural ones so i'm going to take a
tiny tiny liquid eyeliner this is the house labs micro tip liner like this thing's tiny
and i just like to dot this along the base of my natural lashes that are peeking through
i don't know if you can see a difference there but i can
alright and that was the last step for applying the flare lashes here's just a close-up of the
lashes honestly this eye is always a little bit tricky for me because my natural lashes like
to curl a lot on this eye i don't know why but this one's my preferred eye alright and here's
what they look like from far away i just think they're so so gorgeous like it honestly looks like
i'm wearing a full lash because i spent so much time making sure my inner corner looked good but
it's a half lash and honestly the best part about half lashes is that they don't stab your
inner corner because like i said i always have that problem no matter what lashes i'm wearing
no matter what brand what style my inner corner always lifts up and stabs me but that does not
happen with the half lashes i'm just obsessed with them and i hope that you love them as much as i do
so people always ask me how do you take off and kind of care for your lashes so i'm going to show
you exactly how i do that with these half ones and then i'm going to apply my other new style flutter
so you can see what that looks like as well so i gotta do and this kind of goes for any lash
honestly start from your outer corner and again try to grab from the base of the lash never ever
grab from the tips because that's how you ruin your lash i just grab it and i gently peel it off
so easy a lot of people will say to like soak your lashes but i've been pulling off my lashes
like this for years and i've never like lost any lashes from that and then on the lash there'll be
like a tiny bit of glue left over so this is all i do i just take the lash and i just gently peel
off any glue bits that are kind of stuck on there there's not even much glue on this because this
is my first time wearing this lash and then you just stick it back in the tray that's it i don't
use anything to really like clean the lashes if i get like any eyeshadow on them i might use like a
spoolie and just kind of brush to the lashes but you don't want to get these wet and then by just
taking care of my lashes like this i can wear them up to like 10 plus times but once you get all that
like makeup build up on them maybe some mascara some glue then it's time to switch them out for
some new ones and back in their case so that was a style flare that i had on all right now
we're going to switch to a flutter so flutter is actually a little bit longer than flare so these
act more like a three-quarters lash than a half lash but most people still will not need to trim
these out of the box i'm gonna pop up a picture right here of all natural versus flutter you
can see they have a very very similar look to them but you can see that all natural is so much longer
all natural is my best seller lash and if you love that lash you will love flutter because these kind
of have a really similar look but they're 10 times easier to apply all right so i'm just going to
touch up my eyeliner really quick since i ripped off that lash and application wise is going to be
exactly the same so let me pop these on real quick and i'll show you what they look like
all right and here is what flutter looks like close up so like i said these ones are a little
bit longer so these ones kind of start right here on my eyes and these lashes are a little
bit fuller than flare flare does kind of like have some nice like wispy ends to it
i feel like this one it truly looks like a full lash doesn't it and again here is the lash from
far away so you can see what it looks like so pretty so if you want to check out these
