Lashes are a girls best friend

Luckily for us woman if you weren't born with amazingly full and long lashes you can buy them! From strip falsies for a full and easy one strip to just press on and go, to individual lashes for just a little extra fullness and length, or you can even get lash extensions which stay on during showers, exercise, sleep and mostly everything in between. Ever see a celebrity and think " OMG, I love her lashes! I'm going to buy those for myself." You then buy them and try them on and they don't look the same? You worry whether or not you applied them correctly or you bought the wrong kind? No need to worry they may just not be the right for your eye shape. I'm here to help you find the perfect pair for your eye shape! 

Deep Set Eyes

Your eye is set back in the socket with a very minimal lid. Lashes with a lot of length especially toward the middle of the lash with help bring the eye forward and out.

Close Set Eyes

The space between your two eyes is smaller than the width of one eye ball.

 Basically your eyes are closer to your nose. Lashes that feather outward and are longer in the conner help to bring your eyes apart.

Wide Set Eyes

Wide set eyes are more than one eyeball width apart. They are farther apart and closer to the end of your face. Lashes that are fuller and longer in the middle will help bring them closer inward and closer together. The dramatic eye lash will help the eye pop and and even out the proportion.

Round Eyes

Lashes that are long and fan upwards are best for this eye shape. Make sure the lashes are thin and not to thick or bulky because they can be too heavy for your eyes and make then look smaller. You only want to accent the beautiful shape.

Almond Shaped Eyes 

The most common eye shape is the almond eye shape. Most falsies look great on this eye shape. I prefer voluminous lashes that fan outwards or lashes that are longer at the ends for sexy cat eye look.

Hooded Eyes

Hooded Eyes are eyes that have a fold of skin that droops over the the crease so that the lid appears smaller. Some are born with the eye type but sometimes it comes with the joys of getting older (oh great). Lashes that are very long in length particularly in the middle can help open up the eye.

Monolid Eyes

Monolids don't have much of a crease and sometimes don't have any at all. They are flat on the surface. This is common in Asian genetics. Monolid eyes are very versatile and fun to experiment with. The fanned out look is great for this eye shape as well as a fuller falsie.

Spring Time

Spring is FINALLY here! 

Spring is my favorite time of year. Besides the awesome transformation of bulky jackets and boots to flowing dresses and sandals, there are so many things to inspire creativity.  I am always inspired when I wear cute outfits or see the gorgeous flowers blooming to experiment with bright colors of eyeshadows, blushes and especially lipsticks. Fun shades of yellow, blues and purples are my favorite, especially with a great tan. 

This is a quick and simple yellow/orange combo I did this weekend. I used the ELF palette and a few simple colors. 

I used color #1 (tan) as a neutral base color and put it all over my lid and a highlight under the brow

I then took color #2 (peachy orange) and put it in my crease as a transition color and also on the lid

I used color #3 (red) very lightly packed it onto the outer corner and crease.

color #4 (orange) I packed it on the lid and blended it out to the outer corner with the red

I then took color #5 (yellow) and put it in the inner corner and tear duct also I blended it into the orange for a highlight to brighten up the eye

Now it's time for lipstick! 

Mac Flamingo is one of my favorite lipsticks because it is a gorgeous peachy nude. It is also a Lustre finish which I really like because it leaves your lips soft and supple with a great color. This is a limited edition lipstick from the All About Orange collection but it has come back for a short time. 

Time to STOCK UP !
