     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a lower case body having a lower front side separated from a lower rear side, a lower left side separated from a lower right side, a lower bottom side, and an open top side. The lower front side, lower rear side, lower left side, lower right side, and lower bottom side form a lower cavity. An upper case body has a upper front side separated from a upper rear side, a upper left side separated from a upper right side, an upper top side, and an open bottom side. The upper front side, upper rear side, upper left side, upper right side, and upper top side form an upper cavity. A hinge mechanism is coupled to the lower rear side and the upper rear side to allow the upper case body to swingably open to an open position and alternatively close to an alternate closed position sealing the lower cavity and the upper cavity. An upper eyelash holder is coupled to the lower case body within the lower cavity and has a raised perimeter, a raised center, and a pair of depressions extending between the raised perimeter and the raised center. The pair of depressions is configured to secure and match the shape of a pair of false upper eyelashes. A lower eyelash holder is coupled within the upper cavity. The lower eyelash holder has a recessed center and a pair of protrusions extending from the recessed center to the upper left side and the upper right side. The recessed center receives the raised center of the upper eyelash holder and the pair of protrusions is received by the pair of depressions when the upper case body is in the closed position. The pair of protrusions is configured to secure and match the shape of a pair of false lower eyelashes. 
     There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. 
     The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. 
    
    
     
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new carry case embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the false eyelash carry case  10  generally comprises a lower case body  12  having a lower front side  14  separated from a lower rear side  16 , a lower left side  18  separated from a lower right side  20 , a lower bottom side  22 , and an open top side  24 . The lower front side  14 , lower rear side  16 , lower left side  18 , lower right side  20 , and lower bottom side  22  form a lower cavity  26 . An upper case body  28  has a upper front side  30  separated from a upper rear side  32 , a upper left side  34  separated from a upper right side  36 , an upper top side  38 , and an open bottom side  40 . The upper front side  30 , upper rear side  32 , upper left side  34 , upper right side  36 , and upper top side  38  form an upper cavity  42 . A hinge mechanism  44  is coupled to the lower case body  12  and the upper case body  28 . The hinge mechanism is coupled to the lower rear side  16  and the upper rear side  32  to allow the upper case body  28  to swingably open to an open position  46  and alternatively close to an alternate closed position  48  sealing the lower cavity  26  and the upper cavity  42 . A clasp  50  may be coupled to the upper front side  30  and a clasp receptacle  52  may coupled within the lower front side  14 . The clasp  50  is selectively engageable with the clasp receptacle  52  to secure the upper case body  28  in the closed position  48 . 
     An upper eyelash holder  54  is coupled within the lower cavity  26  and has a raised perimeter  56 , a raised center  58 , and a pair of depressions  60  extending between the raised perimeter  56  and the raised center  58 . Each of the pair of depressions  60  may be semi-annular. The pair of depressions  60  is configured to secure and match the shape of a pair of false upper eyelashes  62 . A lower eyelash holder  64  is coupled within the upper cavity  42  and has a recessed center  66  and a pair of protrusions  68  extending from the recessed center  66  to the upper left side  34  and the upper right side  36 . The recessed center  66  receives the raised center  58  of the upper eyelash holder and the pair of protrusions  68  is received by the pair of depressions  60  when the upper case body  28  is in the closed position  48 . Each of the pair of protrusions  68  may be semi-annular. The pair of protrusions  68  is configured to secure and match the shape of a pair of false lower eyelashes  70 . In the closed position  48 , each of the pair of false lower eyelashes  70  and the pair of false upper eyelashes  62  are held between the pair of protrusions  68  and the pair of depressions  60  to maintain their shape. 
     There may be a plurality of eyelash adhesives  72  comprising a pair of upper eyelash adhesives  74  coupled to the upper eyelash holder  54  proximal the raised center  58  and a pair of lower eyelash adhesives  76  coupled to the lower eyelash holder  64  adjacent the recessed center  66 . The pair of upper eyelash adhesives  74  is configured to secure the pair of false upper eyelashes  62  and the pair of lower eyelash adhesives  76  is configured to secure the pair of false lower eyelashes  70 . A round mirror  78  may be coupled to the recessed center  66  of the lower eyelash holder to aid a user in applying the pair of false upper eyelashes  62  and the pair of false lower eyelashes  70 . 
     In use, a user removes the pair of false upper eyelashes  62  and the pair of false lower eyelashes  70  from his or her eyes and places them into the pair of depressions  60  of the upper eyelash holder and onto the pair of protrusions  68  of the lower eyelash holder, respectively. The upper case body  12  is then moved from the open position  46  to the closed position  48  to safely store the pair of false lower eyelashes  70  and the pair of false upper eyelashes  62 . 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
