Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About False Eyelashes

I love a lash. It is in my top 5 favourite items in my kit as it can take you from drab to all a flutter in less than 3 minutes! Now there are hundreds to choose from and these can make a dramatic statement or just be an accent on your own lash for a more subtle appeal. They are a must on your wedding day to give life to your makeup and balance your make up to your bridal gown. They will help waterproof your glamorous eye makeup too if necessary because we all know crying happy tears once at the wedding altar is bound to happen.

There are so many wonderful lash brands out there, each of them with some extraordinary lash designs. One Two Cosmetics designed a revolutionary magnetic lash that gives you a dramatic lash look in seconds by simply placing your top lash above your own then the below set on your own and the magnetic strip just clicks into place! No glue necessary! It takes a couple of tries but the results are well worth it!

The original glue invisible bands are still a favourite for larger and fuller lash looks. Simply apply some DUO glue or Ardell Lashtite clear adhesive thinly to the base of the lash band. Wait for a few moments to the glue to become sticky then place the lash right at the base of the lash, where it meets the skin. If you are using Lashtite make sure you have a remover handy. Lashtite can help you adhere your lashes on for a full week, which is great for vacation instead of lash extensions.
