By Annie HeilApplying false eyelashes can be a struggle, not to mention extremely time consuming! That is why over the years I have developed effortless tips and tricks to get the look without all the hassle. First things first, pick up an eyelash curler and curl your lashes! I cannot stress how important this step is and it blows my mind how often people skip it. It only takes .2 seconds and I pinky promise it will make a world of difference! Next, take an eyeliner brush and apply a thin layer of black shadow on your top and bottom lashes to create a base. I am using a slanted bamboo eyeliner brush from EcoTools and Urban Decay’s Naked2 shadow in “Blackout”. To prevent getting specs of shadow fallout all over your face, hold a plastic spoon or credit card underneath your bottom lashes. After you apply the shadow base, take your favorite mascara and apply two coats. Start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand in a back and forth motion while slowly moving up. The left and right motion will ensure every lash is entirely covered and help lengthen them. Make sure to wait a couple seconds in between each coat as well, otherwise your lashes tend to clump and turn spider like.
Repeat this process 3-4 times by applying black eye shadow first then two coats of mascara. I like to switch up the types of mascaras I use in between every two coats because I find it sticks to the powder better when you alternate brands. My four go-to mascaras are Maybelline Great Lash, Maybelline The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara (with two applicator sizes), Revlon Butterfly Intenza and Wet n Wild MegaPlump. The more you repeat this process the bolder and “falser” your lashes will appear. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received when I apply my mascara this way and like I said it’s a lot easier than dealing with false lashes. So skip the glue, tweezers, trimming and blending and grab your favorite black eye shadow. Your lashes will never look the same! Xo, Annie
