After I bid farewell to a good friend last night, I wake up to find a pair of lashes sitting beside me! Which I obviously pulled off my eyes in despair, just so that I could sleep comfortably :-) oppssss
This has 'inspired' me to write a blog on three sets of lashes I recently bought.
The first set of lashes is by red cherry and I have posted the link for you at the bottom so you could see where I buy my lashes from. If your going for the 'twiggy' underlashes look these are perfect! I personally would not wear them for just any occasion cause they are a tad long but hey to each his own!
The other set are from Japonesque and I have not yet worn them due to the thick stem and them not being flexible, im not sure I will feel so comfortable with such a 'heavy' eyelash sitting on my eye. But perfect for a night out or any party!
The trick to concealing the stem, is to apply your eyeshadow beforehand and one layer of mascara. I myself, never apply mascara to the eyelashes after I have stuck them on, as I feel you ruin them quicker and they become all clumpy.
The best way to apply the lashes is by using Duo eyelash adhesive in clear used by every makeup artist out there. Well maybe not everyone but most professionals. The glue in the box which come with every set of lashes just doesn't do it for me. The glue is actually a white colour, obviously so you can see where you are placing the lash, though once you give it time it will dry clear and not leave any mess! Also it is waterproof perfect for summer. The trick is once you have applied the glue to the lash do not and I repeat DO NOT apply it straight away to the lash, also hold it with a pair of tweezers and wave it about for 30 seconds to allow the glue to get tacky and not remain runny. Voila!
The set of lashes which I am highly addicted to at the moment are purchased from Sleek Makeup, at a cheap price and well worth it! The stem is flexible and the lashes give a natural look but at the same time emphasise your eyes :-) If I am not mistaken they are called 'Rio'.
Well that's all for now guys!
Hope you enjoyed this, and it will come to somewhat use now or in the future :-)
