Need a makeup tip for straightening/relaxing eyelashes
I need advice on straightening/relaxing my eyelahes. They are so curled up and short, mascara makes them look stubby.
Please don't tell me I'm lucky to have them, this isn't the long, lush type of curl I have. This is the too tightly wound curl that won't cooperate.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You can always get eyelash extensions, they do them at the same places you could get hair extensions. Or you can get fake eyelashes. Straightening or relaxing your eyelashes would be stupid.

Why the hell would you want to straighten your eyelashes?
You'd burn your damn face off, and you'd practically deserve it for wanting to do something so dumb.

You should get FAKE EYELASHES.
They aren`t that uncomfortable, but when you go out, you can always put them on; they`re pretty natural looking, too if you choose the right ones.

Instructions
STEP 1: Decide what look you're seeking. A full set of false eyelashes adds high drama to your evening appearance or returns the eyelashes that may have disappeared due to illness. Little clumps of fake lashes on the outside corners of your eyes create a subtle, sophisticated glamour.
STEP 2: Choose a color that complements the occasion. For evening, stick to black (or dark brown if you have pale lashes), which adds drama without requiring mascara. In the daytime, go dark brown (light brown or blond if you have pale lashes) for a natural look.
STEP 3: Check their length. Full lashes should follow the natural line of your own lashes. Trim them with sharp scissors to accommodate your needs.
STEP 4: Begin with clean eyes, free of makeup or debris.
STEP 5: Hold the lashes in your hand and apply a very thin line of glue or adhesive along the base; let it sit for 1 minute. Begin with a minimal amount of glue, adding more if needed.
STEP 6: Look into a mirror, either on the wall or placed on a countertop. Apply the false lashes above your eyelashes, as close to your lash line as possible, following its natural curve.
STEP 7: Adjust the lashes with your fingertips, tweezers or a toothpick.
STEP 8: If you're using lash clumps, place them at the outside corners of your upper lashes (one or two per eye should suffice). Adjust their position with a toothpick, fingers or tweezers.
STEP 9: Apply eye makeup. You may find your new lashes dramatic enough without mascara, so take a good look in the mirror first.
STEP 10: Practice a few times before your debut. This is a challenging beauty trick to master, but a dress rehearsal should make for a smash opening.
Tips & Warnings
Remove false eyelashes before you go to bed, using a warm compress or makeup remover.
After wearing full lashes, soak them in eyelash-cleaning solution until the next time you wear them.
Never pull the lashes from your lids, as you may pull your own lashes out or rip your skin.
Never apply glue directly to your eyelids; it may get into your eyes, or you may glue your eye shut.
Hope I helped!
