00:00That's life, honey.
00:01Your mom doesn't come with you to college.
00:03Really?
00:05Hey guys, my name's Josh, and for the next three days,
00:08I'm going to attempt to wear false eyelashes.
00:12I feel excited and a little bit scared.
00:16I'm worried it's going to fall off.
00:17I'm going to do it really badly, and then I'm terrified
00:19I'm going to lose my actual eyelashes.
00:21So then I have to do this for the rest of my life.
00:24I see all this stuff.
00:25I'm not really entirely sure how it all works.
00:29I need our resident Refinery29 lash expert.
00:34Ugh, can you just scooch a little bit?
00:37So I want to know, how are you feeling right now?
00:39Terrified.
00:41I like to curl my lashes first, then mascara, then falsies.
00:48Okay.
00:49And then you curl everything together,
00:52just to kind of blend your natural lash into the false.
00:55Oh, you're not even...
00:56Here, let me show you.
01:00Welcome to womanhood.
01:01I mean, it's awful.
01:02Do you want to move your hair out of your face?
01:03Okay.
01:03You already look like you have falsies on.
01:06I do!
01:06This is actually your left, and this is actually your right,
01:10so think of it like this way.
01:11Like, think of it like that.
01:12Do you want to put like a razor-thin line of glue?
01:17I don't know if razor is a good word
01:18to describe something going towards my eye.
01:20Okay.
01:21Stay.
01:23Okay.
01:24Oh my God.
01:25Hold on.
01:25Okay.
01:26Oh, wow.
01:27Ah!
01:27Well, this is going to be a look.
01:29It looks like you have two full sets of lashes.
01:32Wow.
01:33That is...
01:34That is gorgeous.
01:36All right.
01:37Now, I want to see you try.
01:40I would love to see that as well.
01:42All right.
01:43There you go.
01:43There you go.
01:44Look at that.
01:44Let me see.
01:45Look at that.
01:46That's good.
01:47Help.
01:48Help.
01:48Oh my God.
01:49Help.
01:49What's going on?
01:50You got it.
01:51You got it.
01:51You got it.
01:56You did it.
01:58There.
01:58Perfect.
02:02So, it's a little uneven.
02:04Yeah.
02:05You know, my whole face is a little uneven.
02:07I'm a little scared that once you leave, I'm just going to be on my own with this spectacle.
02:12I'm excited and nervous to see how the next few days go.
02:16Okay.
02:16It's early in the morning.
02:18I've got my coffee.
02:20I'm in my apartment.
02:22Shout out to all the women who have ever put on a full face of makeup before work.
02:27Doesn't make any sense to me.
02:29Don't understand how you do it.
02:31Here we've got my materials.
02:34I'm late for work now.
02:36I got to go to work.
02:37It's 10.30.
02:39I'm a half an hour late already.
02:40I haven't even walked out of my apartment.
02:42So, just getting back from my favorite Indian restaurant and I got free papadum.
02:47I don't want to say it's because of the eyelashes, but it's certainly not not because of the eyelashes.
02:51I think it looks really natural on you.
02:53It does kind of look natural, right?
02:55I think you should see if you get hit on more with the eyelashes.
02:59Hey guys.
02:59End of day one and I think I made a huge mistake.
03:03Ever agree to this.
03:04This is awful.
03:05I'm going to take them off.
03:06I don't know if this is going to be gross.
03:07We're going to see.
03:08This is going to...
03:08Okay.
03:08Hold on.
03:09I'm going to go up to the mirror.
03:10Up to the mirror.
03:11Oh, oh.
03:12Feels so good.
03:13Oh.
03:13So that's the end of day one.
03:16Not looking forward to day two.
03:18Hey, what's up?
03:19So, it's the end of day one.
03:21I think it went pretty well.
03:23I'm feeling okay.
03:26Feeling pretty emo, to be honest.
03:28Got a few looks on the street, in the office, but nothing that I couldn't handle.
03:36Day two better get more difficult because I'm killing this so far.
03:41So, it's the start of day two and I am not excited to put these back on.
03:46Everyone I've brought this up to has pointed out that they never do it themselves.
03:49They only have other people do it.
03:51So, I think it's a little unfair that my first time I have to do it myself.
03:54Yeah, this should be a fun weekend day.
03:57Why don't I pick on this?
03:59Hi, so, it's day two.
04:02I'm just walking around my neighborhood.
04:04I'm going to go pick up my laundry, actually.
04:06I feel like I look weird.
04:10So, halfway through the day and literally my, it's sticking to my eye socket.
04:16It's going well.
04:17I feel a little more self-conscious about the eyelashes today.
04:22I think I was a little overly confident on the first day.
04:25I kind of put them on a little off.
04:27They don't look totally correct.
04:30I'm trying to blend in and just act casual.
04:33So, my cashier at the grocery store I was just shopping for dinner at noticed and she
04:39was like, are you wearing mascara or do you just have amazing eyelashes?
04:42I was like, I'm wearing false.
04:43She was like, you slay with those lashes.
04:46So, that was fun.
04:47That was a good moment.
04:48It was the first person I ever noticed.
04:49So, I was really excited.
04:50Definitely harder.
04:53Just felt kind of like I looked tired and wasn't up for it.
04:58And, I just wasn't able to feel comfortable with these things on.
05:03Well, it's end of day two.
05:05And, honestly, these eyelashes barely have any semblance of hanging on.
05:11I just finished cooking dinner and eating and it's just sweaty and hot and it's so weird
05:16to not feel and just wipe my face and go on.
05:18But, I can't until now.
05:21See you on day three.
05:24Hey guys, last day of false eyelashes.
05:28Thank Jesus.
05:29I'm going to go do some grocery shopping, hang out with some friends and then call it a day.
05:35I'm just a bro trying to live out here.
05:36Making it hard.
05:38I'm ready for my class up.
05:40I didn't have time before work to do this.
05:43I'm doing it at my desk like so many women before me.
05:49Three days of eyelashes.
05:51Done and done.
05:53What did I learn?
05:53Mad props to the women who do this every day.
05:57I do not envy you.
05:58I wouldn't want to have to do it.
06:00So, what have I learned from this challenge?
06:02Absolutely nothing other than that I hate wearing false eyelashes.
06:06Don't do it unless it makes you happy.
06:08And, even then, question why it makes you happy.
06:10Don't ever let them tell you that the three-day challenge isn't a challenge.
06:14Because it is a challenge.
06:16Thank you so much for watching Try This Challenge.
