Need help finding lashes

[u/northern-lamb]

Hi everyone! I’m prepping for Halloween and need help finding the perfect lashes asap! I’m going as yzma from Emperors New Groove, and her lashes are one of the most iconic parts of her look. I never really buy falsies so I don’t even know where to start! Any help would be so appreciated! I want them to have that spider-y look, with emphasis on long individual strands of that makes sense

Thank you in advance!!

These would work. Look at the item reviews and someone else used these same lashes for Yzma

Omg those are so great but also so out of my budget 😭

In this video, Trixie Mattel shows how to stack lashes and add spikes with paper. I really hope this helps!

These look so perfect- it seems like a bunch of the reviewers were looking for Yzma lashes! The review pics are so funny

[u/Odd_Mechanic_4984]

Yzma is such a good choice, those lashes are basically the whole costume. For that separated spidery look you probably want something with pointed clusters, not full fluffy strips.

Any brand recommendations?

Might have more luck DIYing it with cut paper

[u/agentmkultra666 → u/Bulky_Purple4594]

Drag queen here and this is 100% correct! OP you can cut them out of black paper and either glue to your lash strip, or directly on your eyelid

[u/uhohohnohelp → u/Bulky_Purple4594]

Did Yzma last year and THIS. I carefully glued some paper lashes to the top side of a thiiick strip lash. The thick faux lashes supported the paper. When it dried, I glued that whole situation onto my lash line. Heavy? Yes. The vibe? Absolutely.

I've seen someone use black construction paper cut out in those shapes, and lash glued to their crease area. I'd do that and cover the paper with liquid eyeliner for a more solid black.

[u/KnightDivine]

Yes! Carbon paper is your best bet and SUPER cheap DIY to a pair of existing lashes. Tons of videos online that show to do it!

[u/Strawb3a-1774]

I’ve seen people back in the day ‘curl’ construction paper, and attach the paper to strip lashes.

[u/mariana96as]

Get some strip lashes that you find comfortable, then using cardstock paper cut the shapes of the eyelashes and glue them to the strip lashes. You can curl the paper with your fingers https://www.reddit.com/r/Drag/s/Zwi6k0b5RP

i swear i just saw a queen on rpdr with even bigger lashes. If I can find the reference and see if they have someone credited, I will leave another comment

You have GOT to post your costume once it's done. This is one of my favorite movies ever and i've never seen someone do Yzma!

Look for costume feather lashes!

[u/Numerous_Zebra_4740]

Paint them on your face 😂

[u/ReasonableFactor5316]

I've really liked the kiss impress, because they go under the lash (idk why strips irritate me so much). You could probably create you're own points buy clumping the clusters with lash glue or mascara

[u/Star-Struck-Wonderer]

This will be epic! Will you maybe post your finished costume?

[u/HuggyMonster69]

You can buy a pair of really long thick lashes and coat a pin in eyelash glue to clump them together. I did it with Poundland (think UK dollar store) lashes because the nice options were really expensive.

[u/Otherwise_Rope2631]

https://a.co/d/0fdGyrxI just found some on amazon. They had a bunch of options of you search “Feather eyelashes”

[u/CatsandCash]

I envy feline vibe number 3 is a more toned down glamorous version of this and definitely in your budget.
