This Week’s Tip: False eyelashes are the quickest leap to glamor!!

No matter whether you were blessed with the most amazing lashes, (which in my experience, little boys seem to have the best) or just average length; you can pump up the volume by just adding a simple strip of lashes, bringing more allure to the eye. Don’t let the false lash scare you, here is all you have to do:

After shadow and liner has been applied, curl the natural lash, and add mascara. Then, measure out the false lash to the eye, and trim it accordingly. Add glue to the lash and lay it softly onto the lash line. I also make sure that the lash is blended to the natural lash, so that when your eyes are closed, it looks natural. This is especially helpful when you are shooting a down angle shot, like below.

(and of course, Linda was on set for the hair, makeup and styling of this shot.)

Thank you Linda!
