So I bought some MAC eyelashes and I'm thinking they're a wee bit too big, (my eyes are smaller than the eyelashes) should I cut them?
If so any tips on not messing up :]
kthnx
Oh yeah here's a picture of them :)

i have the same pair! very cute dramatic look for clubbin :P
Yeah you can cut them, make up artists usually do when they're too big. BUT make sure you cut from the inner lashes, not the outter side because the outter side is supposed to be longer... i hope u kno wut i mean. make sure the length it the rite size!
and if you have enough, the part u cut off can be used as outter short lashes, like the ones sold where they're half lash lengths. lol i sound so confuusing but i hope u kno wut i mean. goodluck!
edit- actuallly cut from the OUTER CORNER! sorry not inner my bad

Yeah the ones there look just a bit too much. When using fake lashes there are a few things to keep in mind, first, many fake lashes are curled so it will help to curl your natural lashes so they blend together better. Secondly, it can be helpful to trim fake lashes to match your regular ones. Also, sometimes adding seperate(individual) fake lashes can be just as effective as a complete lid full, and can blend together more easily. (For the individual lashes the same points apply from above.)
Hope this was helpful :)

Honestly I wouldnt cut them. I think youre out of luck, if you were to cut them mark them some how before cutting. I wouldnt cut them because they look really thick near the eye where towards the end of the lash they look thinner. I just don't think it would look right.

I don't think it's a good idea to cut them, it might just break the thread and all the lashes will fall apart. Try taking them back to the store, to selling them to a friend so you can buy another pair that actually fit.

wow those are huge and thick. I would just return them and get some that fit your eyes nicely. I have cut my real lashes before but you have to be very careful those look like a lot to cut.

those lashes are very dramatic. WoW why dont you just use a really good mascara like difinicils or hypnosis from lancom and if you use their eye lash curler wow even better i dont ever need to use a eye lash curler but i got one for christmas from lancom and i use it now only when i go out to make them stand out more. Good luck.

Cutting them isn't a big deal. I've seen it done before and it turned out fine.
Good luck and have fun with whatever you're going to wear them for!!!
