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 :)

Beyu eye Base/Primer review

                                                    Beyu eye base review













What it claims ?
Get maximum perfection from your eyeshadow! Beyu eye base provides a foundation so your eye color can glide on smoothly and stay brilliant for hours. No creasing allowed ! Creamy texture, neutral in color, ideal for any skin type. Comes in practical tube for easy application.    
Bisabolol and Vitamin E soothe and protect the delicate eye area



Price - Marketed by Elder in India . 475 INR for 7 mL
Best before 36 months from date of mfd date


What is eye base ?
Eye base considerable improves the durability and color intensity of powder eyeshadows for a long lasting effect  


How does it look ?
A beige colored liquid with silver shimmer ( not the OTT one )


Pros    

  • My e/s stays longer on my lids 
  • Makes the eyeshadow vibrant , Even the sheer one looks more pigmented  
  • The squeezy tube is very practical and hygienic
  • The price . Pretty affordable for an eye primer.
  • The beige color even out the lids a little , nothing drastic though
  • Not drying , I feel comfortable after application
  • I use it before applying any liner on my upperlid and my liners stays a LOT  longer than usual :).
Cons 
  • The e/s doesn't last exceptionally long , the lasting power is above average(like 5-6 hours) , I would say.
  • People with very oily lids might loathe it .As it is a bit moisturising
  • Does NOT dry clear , You will have some shimmers peeking through mattes e/s
  • Do NOT confuse it with a color correcting primer , it merely brighten up your lid a little
  • Call me weird , But I sniffed it , smells like Jasmine oil aka Chameli ka tel :P ( this is not a CON , Bdw :D)   

This is How it looks like                                                                                           Blended 
                                                                                                                       Noticed the fine shimmers ?











TIPS
I like the fact that I can use it alone.
I sometimes use it instead of e/s , a quick swipe of eye base , colored liner , mascara and kajal .. I'm good to go.The little shimmer looks very pretty alone :)

Swatches without eye base (Top ) and with eye base (below)
This is a very much adored Maybelline eye palette in "chai latte) .. See , How the colors look vibrant in the lower swatches.

*I have clicked the pic in artificial lighting


VERDICT
It is a necessity in a Bride's trousseau/ working women/eye make up fanatic's life.A great addition for everyone but not a vital one.
Frankly , I can live without this product[ becz  I don't have to use e/s everyday] but as I said earlier , a good addition and makes life easier ;)
I definitely dig it when I go out .

So, have you tried it ??
