Spidery LASHes

          

Fall marks a return to pretty. This  season, there are several bold make-up looks that I'm a little gaga over. I have fallen privy to the spider lash contagion. The elongated eye lashes make the eye pop, without looking overly made up. When I first saw the look, I was confused as to how I could imitate the technique and work it into an every day look. I started playing around, and got it figured out. 

The look is super easy to do your self.  All you need for they eyes is an eyelash curler, a very nude light eye shadow, white eye liner, an eye brightener pencil, and lots of mascara. 

Since you want the eye to be the focal point of the look, make sure your skin looks fresh and gently powdered. 

Start by brightening your eyes; line both you lower and upper lid with the brightening pencil, then take the white eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes. Apply the nude eye show gently to just below the crease of your eye. 

Curl your lashes, if you have a clamp curler curl once at the base of the lash and a second time a pit higher. Coat your upper lashes in a first coat mascara. Use a fine brush to really help increase the definition of your lashes.  On your lower lashes gently and individually coat each lash, being careful to avoid clumps. Switch to a thicker more dramatic mascara and repeat. 

If you accidentally clump up, take a Q-tip and just smudge it off. Once you are satisfied with the dramatics of your lashes re line your eyes with the white pencil. 

and, Tadaaah....beautiful spidery lashes. 

Fat Lashes

When it comes to fat there is one body part I want maximized; and it isn't my Kim Kardashian butt. I want Fat, voluptuous, lashes. Mascara: I can't live with out it. 

Mascara is a miracle worker. To just apply it leaves you feeling vitalized and fresh faced. I'm a mascara addict. I must have at least 6 different kind of mascara in my make up bag each with their own unique characteristics.

I use a rich brown mascara for days I don't have time to do make up. The brown looks less harsh against the face. I have a waterproof for the gym, and all sorts of lengthening, voluming, and condition mascaras. The way I see it is you cant go wrong with mascara.

When I stated wearing makeup, my mom instilled in me to never use someone elses mascara or to wear mascara older than 6 months. She's a doctor, so I take her advice seriously. I sometimes wanna stretch the life of a mascara but if starts to clump its time to say goodbye.  The 6 month life of mascara is to long, according to recent health research. Mascara should be trashed every three months. Failure to do so can cause: Red eye, pink-eye, itchy eyes, and conjunctivitis. 

Think about it- Our eyelashes evolved for the function of protecting our eyes. They catch all sorts of bacteria. When every we comb our lash lashes with the applicator what ever was on the hair is now on the brush and back in the tube. Mascara is moist and usually stored at room temperature. The Perfect breading ground for nasty bacterias. 

I'm not trying to freak you, Mascara is my go to beauty product love. Bacteria build up can be easily reduced by combing your eyelashes with a separate wand/comb before applying, by roatating the applicator into the tube, and by always removing left over makeup before applying new makeup. Beauty experts say that if there is one product to cheap on it would be mascara. There is virtually no difference between a $10 tube and a $20 tube. 

It's easy: for healthy eyes toss the tube every 90 days.
