How to Apply fake LASHES!


When applying fake lashes it can sometimes be either really easy to some or just plain annoying!
It does take some practice but once you get a good technique you'll be applying them like a star!  

In my personal opinion applying individual false lashes are easier than a bar.. but everyones different! Some people say the bar (strip of lashes ) is easier than individual but i will explain both! 






Step one! Finding a SAFE lash glue, I've always used this LASH GRIP glue. Its fantastic and your lashes will come off with abit of water-proof eye make up remover. Your lashes will also stay on all day/night! 



Step Two Lashes! now with lashes i do use the cheap 2.00 shop japanese shop ones! Because they're good for a night out. If you're looking for luxury eye lashes then Napoleon or Velour lashes. 




 NOW TO APPLY!!! 


So after you have done your make up look, apply a small amount of glue onto the lash bar making sure that you glue all the bar of the lash which is the top of the fake lashes. Apply with a cotton tip might be easier so you put an even amount on

Shake the lash for about 40 seconds to let the glue get sticky/tacky. Doing this will help the lashes sit better and incase you make a mistake !

Starting from the outer corner of your eye apply the lash as close to the natural lash line as possible!

When you've got it in place gently pat it to secure the lash and fan ur eyes... YES! fan your eyes because this will quicken up the process of the falsies setting!!




Finally to finish it off add a few coats of mascara, this will blend in your natural lashes! if you want you can curl your eye-lashes with ur false lashes before applying mascara.















   Individual lashes


Now when applying individual lashes there are a few tricks you need to know! 




It is easier to apply individual lashes with tweezers rather than your fingers. The lashes are very fine and tiny so using tweezers will make your life easier to apply them!


Step 1) Put some glue on the back of your hand 


Step 2) Pick up your lashes (as seen in the picture) and dip the end of the lash bulb into glue again wait for it to get tacky before applying 



Step 3) Apply the single lash as close to your natural lash line, again make sure the lashes are facing up as seen in the picture
  is how you want to place the individual lash on your eye lashes

Quick tip place ur lashes upside-down!
Step 4) repeat step 1 and 2 and 3!
Until you build up how thick you want your lashes to look.
You can get a great look by just adding 3 lashes on the corner of your eyes if your in a rush wanting a quick cute look!

And again to finish off add a few coats of your favourite mascara













Until next time.....

Lip Plumpers




Ever craved to have bigger lips than your natural ones? But way to scared,broke or undeceive for the real deal? 
sensual lips without any injections

Then i have found the top 3 best lip plumpers, giving you that fuller look to your lips without the injections! Unfortunately its not a permanent thing.... a little bit like Cinderella's dress turning into a pumpkin after midnight... but instead your lips going to normal after a few hours 



Two Faced Lip injections EXTREME 

When they put extreme on this lip-gloss packaging they actually meant the term EXTREME this drastically changes your appearance of your lips!

This is amazing, it made my lips fuller and big. The gloss is clear but you can mix up with your lipsticks with this gloss over the top, so your lips will be bigger for a night out or whatever your event may be

WARNING: you will get a burning sensation at first so please don't freak out this is normal 

Con: it only lasts for 1-2 hours the lest without having to top up on the lipgloss
                                                                                    




Pro: If you apply this everyday your lips will      
naturally increase your natural lip size








 Venom Flash Dunwop

Venom flash is a pocket rocket for your lips!

It leaves a beautiful shimmer to your lips acting like a plumper as well as a shimmer lipgloss

Warning: There is only a slight tingle to this no burning sensation this is normal 

Pro: Works reasonably well

con: Its too small to last very long :(








Dior Addict Lip Maximiser


Wow is all i can say, a little bit more pricey than the others but this dior lip maximiser is well worth your pretty pennies 

You can apply this under your regular lipstick or alone because it has a fleshy tone colour to it

It is a long-lasting plumping it last on my lips for at lest 3-4 hours without having to re-apply again but you will see your lips slowly decreasing

Pro: Its also a lip treatment that stimulates your lip collagen if used 15 days straight you'll see a reasonable result of increase of your lip size!

Cons: Pricey  




SO ladies you now have my secret weapon of bigger, fuller lips! 
go out there and flaunt your pout!!! 


 Until next time......

The essentials your only going to need what you have on your face during that day, so when packing your cosmetic bag think of what YOU need to use to touch up your face!

Think of the event as well, if your working then pack it as your basic cosmetic routine for work 

If its a night out, think what do i need to bring do i really need to bring all this make-up with me?
