False Lashes Will Make Your Eyes POP!
In the famous words of Chef Emeril Lagasse, if
you really want to “kick it up a notch,” add
some false lashes to your makeup arsenal. But
consider yourself warned - false lashes are not
for the timid, because when you wear them, you
are going to be noticed.
Learning to apply false eyelashes is a bit tricky,
but once you master this task, people will stare
with envy at your lovely lashes. To start off,
you can try the individual false lashes. These
are pieces of lashes that you can add to your
existing ones. They look a little more subtle, and
you don’t have to use as much lash glue to
adhere them. Try adding individual false lashes
to the outer corners for an “eye opening” effect.
First, apply a dab of eyelash glue directly to the
bottom tip of the lash. Do not apply the glue
directly to your eyelid. Hold the lash,
pressing lightly into your lash line, and hold it
in place for at least a minute. Then gently
release. Try out four or five individual pieces
per eye.
When you are really ready for all-out glamour
goddess lashes, you can try using an entire strip
of false lashes. A full strip of lashes takes a
little more precision to get them to line up
correctly. Once again, squeeze the glue directly
onto the strip of lashes. Use as little glue as
possible so it does not end up too heavy and
gloppy. Keep it as close to your natural lash
line as possible. You can apply mascara after if
you need to, but most of the false lashes are
dark enough without mascara. If you are doing
these lashes for an event, you might want to
have a few trial runs to get used to wearing
them. With all that extra va-va-voom, you will
surely be the belle of any ball!
The Ultimate Smoky Eye
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul,
so by drawing attention to them, the effect will
be magnetic! Nothing screams drama like the
ultimate smoky eye. You need four eye products
to create this show-shopping look.
First, blend a medium metallic-based cream eye
shadow in dark bronze or grey all over the
eyelid, and into the crease. Apply a sweep of the
cream shadow under the lower lash line so that
the entire eye is rimmed with it. Then, layer a
deep powder shadow over the eyelid, pressing it
into the lid with an eye shadow brush to get
the maximum amount of pigment onto the lid.
You want the effect to be opaque and strong.
Then, take a kohl-based eyeliner in black or
dark grey to line your eyes with. Start very close
to the lash line so that there are not any spaces
between your lashes and the liner. The line does
not have to be perfect either; you can smudge it
with a sponge tip or with a Q-tip to soften the
edge. Lastly, apply black mascara and coat your
lashes thoroughly.
This diva-ful eye look does not require much
else. Go lightly with the blush and keep your
lips sheer and glossy, so that the focus is only
on your eye area.
