How fake lashes can change your look

I have seen many people getting apprehensive when it comes to using false lashes and honestly I belonged to the same category a year back but my life took a turnaround when I started using these Revlon lashes. They are perfect and as a matter of fact , all fake lashes are perfect. They give you the special edge , a glamorous look and most importantly makes my small eyes stand a class apart !

I am a convert ! I mostly use them for special occasions like wedding and parties and oh my ! everybody keeps asking me about the mascaras I use :D

Just to give you a preview , I am sharing some pics with the lashes one and you be the judge and seriously ! Starts wearing the fake lashes , it wont make you look cheap if done properly. My biggest worry was that I will look like too mean and fake , but nada at Indian wedding everything is excused ;)

Can you see the difference ? The first pic shows the comparison between no lashes and fake lashes and the second pic epitomise the lush lash look I was bragging about. 

How to make lashes work for you ?

• Hunt down the style of lashes you want to wear. they come in number of styles like - Glamorous  natural , defining , volumizing and lengthening
• Once you zeroed down on your preferred style , invest in lash glue . I use Revlon lash glue and it hasn't failed me even once 
• Now see if lashes fits your lash line , if its too big trim the sides and if its short (which is rare) then concentrate the lashes to the outer side of the lash line
• Begin by applying glue to the fake lashes and wait for 10-20 seconds so that the glue can become tacky and with the help of tweezers (or fingers whichever you prefer) apply it over your natural lash line
• Try and align the fake lash strip and your natural lash line as close as you can. Adjust if required
• Make sure you curl your lashes and apply mascara liberally. This step will ensure that both the slashes will look as natural as they can !
• Now line your upper lashline with black eyeliner so that the strip is not visible and you lashes look natural
• If you feel like, Tight line your eyes and apple kajal. Done !

How To remove the fake lashes ?

• Take a cotton wool, dip it in make up remover, press the ball over your eyes for few seconds and wait for the glue to get dissolved. Once it is done you will be able to remove the fake lashes and remove make up as usual. 
• You can also reuse the same lashes . Just make sure you clean them properly with make up remover  

And please excuse me for the less than perfect tracing of fake lash , I did it in hurry but I hope this will give you confidence to rock these lashes . Make them work for you :)

Price :- 595 INR for 30 mL




Pros:-

• Lasts long enough ( 5-6 hours on me )
• Covers blemishes quite well
• Has SPF 25 ( Dont matter to me , coz to reap benefits you must apply 1 teaspoon and believe me , thats a hell lotta stuff !)
• I would say its Rub, water and swear RESITANT
• Matches my skin decently ( I have this is medium beige)
• My skin does look flawless when I apply it.Great for evening out skin tone and covering slight blemishes.
• Oily and combination skin fellas with fairly decent skin will like it 

Cons :-

• Very thick for my taste
• Gives a cakey finish , Not the most user friendly foundation. You will need to do lot of blending to make it look like second skin
• Dries pretty quickly and may prove difficult to blend
• Limited shade range , unlike its big brother (Orignal Colorstay )
• Not the best foundation for acne prone skin
• Dry skin will find it terrible
• Gives a white cast when used with fingers
• Has tendency to cling on pimples . YUCK !

OVERVIEW :-
Its an OK-ish foundation . I do love the fact that it makes my skin look good but the cons outweight the pros :(  I have it since a year and to be very frank , I didnt like it when I was on my breakout spree . It did nothing to make my skin look good , in fact it accentuated the dryness , made my blemishes look grey and I had every reason on this earth to dislike the foundation. But few days back , prior to my review , I decided to give this one last chance and Voila ! It aint half as bad .
Would recommend to ladies with Oily - Normal combination skin who seeks medium coverage.


                     



Application :- Moisturize your face well. There should not be any dry areas or the foundation will cling. Squeeze out the desire amount on the back of your hand .Now spray some rose water on your Blush brush ( I use Vega's) , Dip it in the foundation and use desired amount on your face , dabbing and swirling. This technique is very similar to airbrushing ( in layman's term , airbrushing is putting numerous tiny dots on a skin untill the you can't diffrentiate the foundation from skin )
This technique is also called stippling brush method. I stipple then buff with a big powder brush and then set it with a translucent powder.




The process is very tedious, I know. but for 595 INR , I was determined to make it work :D


Repurchase :- Hell NO . Cant devote 10 minutes on applying the foundation !!


Sorry , Not being very regular with the posts .But my life is haywire , busy with entrance and classes . Will be a good gurl and post more often after I secure my place in some good institute :P
