How To : Get Lashed Up

Beautiful, youthful, flirty and effortlessly sexy, who wouldn't want gorgeously long, thick Cheryl Cole-style eyelashes? 
But it's not surprising that luxurious lashes are so desirable: they add instant glamour, and widen small, tired eyes to make you look instantly younger.

There is a catch: applying false lashes can be a hit-and-miss affair. So here's a step-by-step guide.



APPLYING LASHES ^_^



1. Remove the lashes from the pack and hold them against your eye to measure them against the length of your own natural lash line. False lashes are often too long for your eye, so ensure you cut the strips to fit. If you leave them too long, they will drag your eyes down - which will have the opposite effect of the youthful look you are aiming for.


I used Konad fake eyelash :

2 Now you have two choices: 

  • Either apply the adhesive on to the full length of the base of the false lashes or, 
  • Using a brush, place dots of adhesive along your own natural lash-line before pressing the false lash on to it.
I used first method/choice :

 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the opposite eye. It is very important to wait 30 seconds for the adhesive to become tacky before applying the false lashes.



4. You can use Using tweezers, hold the strip lash in the centre. Then place it in the centre of your natural lashes. Then, again using the tweezers, push the inner side of strip lash in place, followed by the outer side.

  • If you don't feel comfortable with tweezers then use your fingers to apply lashes by following same technique used in step 4.
5. Using a 'pinching-and-push' technique with the tweezers to pinch together the strip lashes and your natural lashes, then 'push' them towards your eyelids. Do this all the way across the lashes and repeat for the other eye.

  • You can also use ear bud to push lashes.


Eyeliner can be added if needed, or mascara, but this needs careful application to the natural lashes only. 

You can also use fake eyelashes without eye make-up. Try it. :)

Golden rule is : Less is more.

Makeup Ideas For Girls Who Wear Glasses o-o

Do you think adding some frames to our face puts a snag in our makeup game?
Dilemma? Overdo it and you end up looking like sexy librarian gone terribly wrong. Play it too safe and your features disappear.
So here are some fantastically doable tips :


1. Make It Simple : Best to keep your eye makeup simple. Stick to neutral shades on the eyes but remember to blend a darker color on your crease. save the bright and bold colors for your lips.


2. Don't be afraid of mascara - Apply 2-3 coats of black mascara. It makes your eyes look bigger.


3. Gel Liner - Adjusting the thickness of liner is important when you're wearing glasses. "If your frames are thicker , you should apply thick eye liner to upper lash line so that eyes stand out. If your frame are thinner, a softer liner will work."


4. Day To Night - A bright or dark lip color can instantly transform into party ready and a bright shade of pink blush on your cheek will instantly give your face a lift. OR, you can use a lighter shimmer color on your lower lid. To create a smokey eye look for glasses, double line your eye. It instantly makes your eyes stand out without being too much. just line your eye with gel or pencil, then take similar colored eye shadow and using a liner brush, line above the previous line, smudging as you go.
 


5. Define brows - Glasses draw huge attention, so do not forget to shape and color your brows.


6. Pay Attention - If your prescription makes your eyes look smaller, be sure to line your eyes all the way around. use liner which is darker than the color of your eye. Finish with two to three coats of mascara on top lashes only.
If your prescription makes your eyes look bigger, use light hand when applying your eye makeup and be sure to blend everything carefully. For shadows, go with light and neutral shades. your eyeliner should be thin and delicate with only one coat of mascara.

How To Get Perfect Party Makeup

Who doesn't want to make head turns the moment they enter the party. Here are some tips to ensure that look just perfect for the party.
1. Clean the skin : Use the cleanser that helps to remove impurities of the skin and ensures a glowing skin.


2. Toning Time : Next apply the skin tone to refresh the skin tone and moisturize it well.


3. Set the base : Apply foundation in gentle tapping motion, and work it all the way around the eye up to the tip of eyebrow. Always begin along the center line of the face and blend outwards towards the corners of the face to create an even look, blending down past the jaw line and into the neck. For a final touch, application of loose powder or compact with a big fluffy brush will even the makeup out.


4. Eye Makeup : Apply your favorite eye shadow and line your upper and lower lash line with the dark black eye pencil or liquid eye liner, it will enhance your eyes. For luscious lashes, use mascara with strokes towards the nose on inner  eye lashes, straight up on central lashes and towards the temple on outer ones.


Tip :


  •  Adding shimmer to your eye makeup is a great way to turn a ho-hum look into a haute holiday one. Applying ton of glitter on eyelids or glitter accents in the corner of eye or you can create glitter eye liner, you can choose any color like deep blue and burgundy. For glitter eye liner, apply layer a bit of Vaseline on top of the line then take a bit of crumbly glitter and add it on the top of the Vaseline.
  • A smokey eye is a great way to add sexiness to your look. For smokey eye look you can also use any color around your eyes and apply loads of mascara.




5. Sensational lips : Apply a lip base as a primer. Ensure even, smooth application, as this lays the base for a perfect finish. If you don't use lip base, apply lip liner and after that use lip color. Then shape your lips using lip brush for an accurate shape. begin at outer edges and work in, meeting at the middle of your lips.


Tip : 

  • If you are applying a dark shade of lipstick then apply simple makeup on eyes and if you are applying dark and heavy eye makeup then wear soft shade of lip color.

Hope you'll find it helpful. :)
