Fabulous Lashes

Your eyes are one of the first things people notice when looking at you, so you better be able to flaunt those lashes. Your eyes need to pop and those lashes must be long, big and full. In order to do so, you must have some type of technique to work with or you're going to have to suffer through false lashes on a daily basis.

How to fake it:
1. Begin with the magic tool, the eyelash curler. Position the curler as close to the base of your lashes without pinching the skin. Clamp down gently and hold for a few seconds.
2. Move curler a little farther out, towards tip of lashes, and lightly press again. Do this twice more until you reach the tip of the lashes. (If your lashes are thin, this is where you would coat on a primer)
3. Take mascara and hold the wand at the base of your lashes. Wiggle slightly from side to side the brush through to the ends. Repeat this about three times to each eye letting mascara dry between coats.
4. After each coat of mascara, brush the top quarter of your lashes with an eyelash comb to create the feather-like look. To avoid smudging, do a coat with waterproof mascara.
5. Even more volume, glue a false lash to the outer corner of each eye at the lash line.
6. Hold the wand vertically and swipe across your lower lashes from inner to outer corner.

That's the secret to full lashes, now go flaunt them!

Peace, Love and Mascara
