luvin’ the lashes – July 7, 2014

hello guys

I have come to the conclusion, I am a lashaholic!! Reading about them, on line browsing them, trying them on constantly! Kind of seeing that if put on an eyeliner base, I can basically wear any type, whether drama, or natural, false eyelashes! They do not look outlandish!!

THE LOOK

The Result – luvin lashes July 8, 2014

Since drafting this blog, I have had the experience of having lash clusters put on at the BLINK Brow Bar (see my previous blog My new found cosmetic accessory).  And through that experience I now apply my stripe lashes slightly differently!  It may sound a little horrific

whaaaatttttt????

I place the false lash beneath my real lashes, on the underside of your lashes is a pink flesh part of the lid, which does not lay on your eyeball.  I apply a very thin layer of Duo eyelash adhesive on top of the false lash, wait for 1 minute and with my Kiss tweezers lay the false lash up under my real lashes.  The effect is fabulous.  My advice, make sure the adhesive is minimal, wait for it to get tacky, have a 10 x magnify mirror to look down into, using the tweezers, take the false lash up into the lash line and place in the middle first and them the outer corners.  Leave alone for 10-15 seconds them tap the false lashes with your tweezers into place along the lash line.  I have found no irritation or discomfort, either with the clusters which I wore for 10 days nor with my false lashes which I have been using this method for a couple of days thus far.

I actually find this method easier than the conventional way of placing false lashes above my real lashes.  I also find that I do not have to use an eyeliner or be concerned about the false lash band!

Tip, practice, practice, practice!!

Thanks for reading.

Ciao for now, God bless Debs
