Eye Drama: Experiment with False Lashes

Do you want to experiment with false lashes, but don't know where to begin? Try using Ardell's Fashion Lashes Starter Kit, $5.89, drugstore.com, that contains everything you need, including an easy-to-use lash applicator. Each lash strip is made with 100% sterilized human hair to create a natural look. Before you have a lash attack, know what you need to get started.

Step 1: Curl Natural Lashes
 
Step 2: If you want to customize your lash definition, use scissors and trim lash cluster to desired length
 
Step 3: Squeeze out dime-size amount of glue on to a piece of foil

Step 4: Using Tweezers dip lash cluster into glue and allow glue to set and get tacky
 
Step 5: From the outer to the inner corner of the eye, place cluster on your natural lashes with end close to but not touching eyelid
 
Step 6: Hold the base of the cluster against the skin and let lash set for 30 seconds
 
Step 7: Repeat steps 4 & 6 using 10 to 15 clusters per eye
 
Step 8: Make sure lashes look blended then apply mascara and eyeliner on the top and bottom lashes for a polished finish

I have three essentials for "Glamming up for the Season" 1. Roses Body Milk by L'Occitane, the scent is heavenly and it provides great moisture. 2.Coppering and 3.Amber Lights Eyeshadow by MAC. The combination of these to colors provides dramatic and eyepopping depth!! I couldn't find where to enter for the Holiday Giveaway...I hope this is the spot!

 

I have a favorite beauty product that don't cost much. It is Ambi black soap. Since I have been using this product,my skin is very clear and smooth. This will be my favorite gift to give for christmas this year. More people tell me how pretty my skin is. I use Ambi even face wash and moistureizer. I cant tell how much this product has helped me and advise everybody to use it. I love this magazine and enjoy reading everything. Thank you!I would like to enter the holiday giveaway and can't find where to do it,so here it is.

 

I use Dura Lash also and i looovee them. Everyone says they look so natural on me. Since experimenting one day at home i've perfected it to the point i have family and friends wanting me to do them. lol

 

A pro told me to use a handheld mirror. Lay it flat and look down in the mirror so you can see what you're doing.

 

I am experiencing with false lashes. Dura Lashes is the first Lash product I have used, and I enjoy this product very much.

 

I recommend a professional to do the lashes. I can't seem to put them on straight!
