    Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced brand of eyelashes suitable for wearing with glasses? I always assume that the standard ones will rub against the lenses. Is there a "shorter cut" available?

    Have you tried individual lashes? They come in different lengths!!

    Yeah I was going to suggest individuals too.

    Depending on your budget and what you want them for, have you considered semi permanent lash extensions?

    I've been wearing them for about 4/5 years now and wouldn't be without them. Prices vary but I go to an excellent girl who does my refills for about €25 every 4 weeks or so (however some places charge a LOT more). She does all sorts of lengths for different people and mixes them up for a more natural look.

    Haven't owned a mascara in years :)

    Could I ask where you go for them, and how much it costs for the first time? Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Thanks!!

    I usually wear the mink. I've got 3D Russian volume on at the minute.
    My own lashes would be short enough so I get between 8-11 and a C curl, and they don't look OTT or drag queen like. I wear glasses too without issue.

    I've never worn them but I'm not happy with mascaras lately and would love the option. Thanks for the replies.

    PM sent :)

    I wear mink lashes, sizes between 8-12. The only glasses I wear are sunglasses but they've never given me any problems.
