- Oh my god.
Oh, I can get it.
(upbeat music)
Hi.
I'm Taylor Strecker
and welcome back to my Bustle series, Taylor Tries.
You guys, thank you for watching.
I'm shocked that I'm still here.
Thank you so much for commenting.
For the record, I saw your DMs,
if you could just comment from here on out below
everybody that needs to see it will see it.
And by everybody who needs to see it,
I am excluding myself
because I am completely useless
when it comes to any clerical work whatsoever.
Let's talk a little bit about
something we've got going on here.
My girl Daryn Carp, she's got a new series here at Bustle,
it's called Un Expert Advice.
Her first episode coming out soon we talk
all about texting your ex.
I have lots of strong words about that.
Don't.
Let's find out what we're doing today.
My prayers have been answered.
Thanks to you guys we're doing eyelash extensions,
false lashes, magnetic lashes.
So many lashes, let's get this baby started.
(upbeat music)
Be careful what you wish for.
I'm now realizing that this task is going to involve
a certain set of skills
that Liam Neeson might have but I don't think that I have.
My mom like, I'm from Boston.
My mom barely wears mascara,
it's like a red lip mascara and she's out the door.
I don't have skills in this department.
If I did I think I'd be more famouser than I am right now.
It looks like I'm going to be learning
how to apply strip lash-es.
(laughs)
The glue is scary.
The utensils to help you put it on
look like torture devices.
And quite frankly, I'll be lucky
if I get one to stick to my eyebrow.
But you know what, I am here to try.
So we've got wispy lashes,
there's like RuPaul lashes,
and then I'm gonna go with like, pop star lashes.
I want to go with pop star lashes.
Because you know, me and Britney Spears, besties.
Okay, let's do the damn thing.
(sighs)
I'm sweating.
See, there is a makeup artists in the room
and I so badly want to like constantly be like,
am I doing this right, am I doing this right?
But like, no.
That's not, that's cheating.
That's not how we play this game.
- And truth be told, less is more.
- Less is more.
I can do this on my own.
You're a star and I believe in you.
♪ Bah, bah, bah ♪
Throw me a millennial parade, okay.
We got glue and actually because it's black,
I'm gonna apply it like eyeliner then I'm gonna apply it
to the lash and then I'm gonna put it on.
(mimics news intro)
- News update from Dre.
If you use the glue as eyeliner, you will die.
Ready?
Set, go, go.
We're gonna take the tweezers and we're going to gently
peel off this gorgeous lash.
Okay, here we go.
I got it off.
Now, it's interesting 'cause it's a little sticky
but we're gonna have to put this glue on it.
I've also seen before makeup artists,
true professionals like measure it and then cut it
but do we really think I'm capable of handling
mathematics right now?
No, I didn't think so either.
So we're just gonna like, this is like,
I'm just like, I'm not gonna put so much pressure on myself.
I'm happy we agree on that, okay.
So I'm gonna apply the glue.
Oh, oh, oh.
Sorry for the noise but this is my concentrating noise.
Ohhhhh...
oh.
I heard less is more through the grapevine.
Then I know that this is a thing.
I feel I've done a good job pulling off the lash gentile.
I feel I've done a good job applying the glue.
Now it comes the application.
(laughing)
Okay, wow.
Depth perception is a challenge.
I'm gotta be patient and then I'm gonna just...
you know.
(gasps)
I see I did good.
I mean, it's a little lopsided but I think I look great.
Do you want to see close-up?
- [Dre] I do.
(laughs)
- [Taylor] I get a...
- You get a A for effort.
- Oh, well that's some bull (bleep).
You know, the closer I look at it the more I realize
I've done a very bad job.
How do you guys do this on your own?
(upbeat music)
Uh, I just got an A for effort which is basically, you suck.
So let's move on to the magnetic lashes
and see if I can do better there.
I don't have high hopes.
I'm gonna play a little bet with myself.
I'm gonna bet that this actually looks better
than these magnetic lashes.
Now, you guys wanted me to try them.
I have two types of magnetic lashes in front of me.
The Ardell magnetic lashes, which is like I think Ardell
does the glue and the lashes,
so they're like in the last game.
So I have yet to try .
And then One Two Lash.
Oh, hello lash lover.
No, hello you.
Oh God.
When the card says watch the how-to video now,
it's like, I have no time for this.
Let's do it.
So, I'm just gonna use my fingers.
Whoo.
Ah, okay let's do it.
(groaning)
(bleep)
Yes, perfect.
(laughing)
Might I say, fetching.
I mean, here's the thing is, I feel jazzy
but I can tell by everybody in the room
that something's awry.
This is a ruse.
So, no thank you.
I'ma win this.
Why?
Just come on.
It's so frustrating.
If if you get these to work for you,
please give me tips in the comment section below.
Let's try the Ardell.
I mean, listen.
This is not a great success but it's definitely better
than what just happened there.
So if these are like a happy medium,
I think we're rockin' and we're rollin'.
I'm gonna wing it because when I wing it I think I win.
Oh, these are for experts.
Could somebody give me my bifocals?
Oh my God.
At what point are you like, I give up, you know?
'Cause I'm real, I'm getting there.
Not great, not terrible.
What's wrong with magnets?
I'm aware that again,
I have failed with the magnetic lashes.
One fake lash, one magnetic lash, let's do this America.
I think I look pretty.
(laughs)
I am beyond ready to have a professional do my lashes
because I suck at this (bleep).
Yeah, can someone just freaking help me?
(upbeat music)
I'm feeling fabulous.
We're here, I'm so excited.
Truthfully, as you saw,
I can't do a magnetic lash to save my life.
I almost blinded myself with an actual like lash, lash,
like the fake lash, so this is like doing it for real.
I'm so excited, let's go.
(sultry music)
Guys, I'm here with Natalia.
She's my angel from the heavens above.
And you're gonna make me look beautiful.
Yes?
- So beautiful.
- Oh my gosh, I want to look like Betty Boop meets a baby.
Like wow, wow.
I want to be like sexy all the time.
You know?
- You'll get everything you want.
- Okay, okay.
So, I had a couple questions for you.
I am an eye rubber.
Is that gonna be a problem?
- It is a problem, so you should be more gentle
with your lashes after.
- I also love splashing water all over my face.
Is that gonna be a problem?
- Not actually.
Cleaning your lashes, washing your lashes is a good idea.
- How often do I have to come back and get them retouched
and do that?
What's the maintenance?
- It's better to do every two or three weeks, it depends.
If your lashes staying good you can come in three weeks.
- I'm about to go on tour for the next four months.
So what should I get like to be on stage, on camera.
I want to be like bam, in your face.
But I also kind of want to look normal-ish in person,
you know?
- Yeah, nothing fake, like not plastic.
Yeah, I think it's better to get the volume set.
2D or 3D volume set.
- I wanna look like a Bratz doll
or the dear Instagram filter, like that.
Can you make me look like that?
- Yeah. - Perfect.
(laughs)
- I'm here.
It's gonna happen.
This ankle makes me feel vulnerable but you know what,
I'm gonna look so gorgeous afterwards
no one's even gonna remember.
- [Natalia] Close.
- That feels good.
(classy music)
(clock ticking)
- [Natalia] Okay.
- Oh my God.
They're like...
- [Natalia] It's like a different eye.
- It's insane.
They're so gorgeous.
I can get it.
- [Natalia] Do you want to use restroom
before we start right eye?
- I think I'm good.
Maybe I do need to pee.
(classy music)
(ticking clock)
- Oh my God.
Did you also dye my eyebrows when I was under?
Oh my God, they're unbelievable.
Thank you so much.
- [Natalia] You're welcome.
- I'm in love with myself.
(laughs)
- So everything sucked but this.
I don't even like mascara anymore.
So basically like, yeah.
Just like, everybody should invest in lash extensions.
They're everything and quite frankly, I mean.
I'm in love with myself.
