Cosmetics Tuesday - Fake Lashes

Do you ever notice how beautiful some celebrity's eyelashes are? It doesn't matter whether they are on the red carpet or in movies or videos, you can always see their long, thick lashes. Well, just a little secret, most of them, if not all, are wearing fake lashes. I started to notice this when I was watching the Kardashian girls. See, I have fairly long and thick lashes, people have been telling me that for years. I would have to say it is a part of me I really love. However, I also noticed that my lashes don't look like Kim's when I put on my mascara no matter which formula I choose. So, today I am going to host a Tiffany video where she gives you all of the great tips for how to apply fake lashes and have them look more realistic. I love this video, I have used it as my guide and I have to say, with a little practice, you too can learn how to do this. Now, Tiffany uses MAC lashes. I on the other hand have said that I don't really buy MAC make-up, so you can try this with the NYX lashes too. I have never tried any other brands, so I don't want to advocate any others, but I am sure you can try it out with others. I like the NYX lashes a lot because they come in a variety of styles for a reasonable cost. They will run you maybe $4.50 on their website and at Ulta. The pair I purchased are pictured below.

I'm not positive Tiffany mentions this trick in her video, but one trick to making fake lashes look real is ensuring they mimic what real lashes look like. The trick to making this happen is recognizing that your real lashes are thicker and longer on the outer parts of your eye through the middle and begin to shorten as they get closer to your eyes. To ensure this look is copied on your lashes, what I usually do is take a pair of cuticle scissors and trim the inner corner of the fake lashes in small snips. After each snip, I rest where I would apply the lashes to check to see what it looks like. With only a snip or three you should notice that they begin to look better. Enjoy the video!
