Faking It

Lashes lashes lushes lashes. Say that fast five times. 

Ladies, how do you feel about fake lashes?

The first time I ever wore fake lashes was on my wedding day. They annoyed me so much that I went to the bathroom half way through my reception and ripped them off. This is a true story.

I have worn fake lashes about a handful of times but I must say that I am now converted.  They completely change the overall look of your eyes.

I only wear fake lashes on occasions where I get completely dolled up. They take a bit of practise but I think the end results are completely worth it.

I found a great deal at a Korean store in New Westminster. 10 pairs of lashes for $10.00! The glue, which is made in Japan, was $12.00. But as the sales girls told “trust me, we know how to wear lashes.” Asian girls know their lash products. I trusted them and I am glad that I did.

A few tips: 

1. Bend the lashes on your thumb to create some flexibility 

2. Apply the glue and wait for about 15 seconds to make the glue a bit tacky before applying on your eyelid

3. Use a tweezer to lightly push the lashes into your eyelid

4. Once they are dry, I apply mascara to blend my lashes with the fake lashes (but if you plan to reuse them do not apply mascara) 

5. Pack your glue with you as you may have to touch up a corner that might lift up as you dance the night away.

The Well Defined Eye

I'm naked without my black liquid eyeliner. Some girls prefer the pencil but I really like how easy liquid liner is to apply. Ok so maybe you need to practise a little bit. wink wink

My weapon of choice: Loreal Intense Liner - Black

A Few Tips To Clam the Nerves

1. Relax! It’s just make-up – you can take it off anytime you like
2. Think of your eyelid as having three sections, the inner section (closest to your nose), the middle section, and the outer section
3. If you don’t have a steady enough hand, try drawing a light line on the outer section of your eye only. It still looks really good and adds a bit of volume to your lash area
4. If you are not as steady with your hand yet, apply the liner and then add your eye shadow as it can help mask some of the wiggles in the line 
5. Make the effort. The end result is FABULOUS!
