Lashes for the Non-Morning Person

Some people have a morning routine. I have a morning negotiation. Can I hit snooze once more? Do I really need makeup? The easiest way to look human at 7 a.m. is to have a lash that works without precision or patience.

THE 90-SECOND ROUTINE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

1. Wash your face, no need to dry your lashes completely.
2. Apply one coat of mascara to your natural lashes. This gives false lashes something to grip. (30 seconds)
3. Apply a thin line of lash adhesive to the band, wait 20 seconds, and place the lash directly on your lash line. (40 seconds)
4. Press the middle of the band for 10 seconds. Done.

Total time: 90 seconds. No liner, no curling, no patience required.

HOW TO MAKE LASHES A NON-DECISION

Keep your lash routine at your vanity in a stacking tray. Pre-trim the lashes once so you never have to cut them again. Use a lash holder to keep them ready and separated by style. The more friction you remove, the more likely you'll actually do it. Even on Mondays.

WHAT "EASY LASHES" REALLY MEANS

Not all lashes are created equal. An easy lash is one you don't have to think about. It has a flexible band that conforms to your eye instead of fighting it. It's lightweight. It comes in shorter lengths so you don't need to trim. And it doesn't pull or poke. That's the list.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IF YOU'RE A NON-MORNING PERSON

If you're new to lashes or just exhausted, look for a lash that says "daily" or "natural" and has a clear, thin band. Stay away from heavy lashes with thick, stiff spines. Those are for photo shoots, not Tuesday mornings. You want a lash that goes on in one move and stays put until you take it off.

That's exactly why PHANSTA designs lashes for the rest of us. Their natural wisp collection is so light you'll forget you're wearing them. The band is flexible and comfortable. One pair makes it through 20 wears — meaning 20 mornings where you look awake, alert, and alive.
