LUSH LASHES!!!!

Lately people keep telling me my lashes are long....trust me when I say they are average length and really straight. Especially since I have done makeup on so many different faces I have seen lashes worth comparing mine to.  So let me tell you a few tricks....


1- Don't wipe off all the goopy mascara that is on the brush, instead use the tip to coat the lashes with the goop and then use the brush to comb and separate the lashes.


2- Don't get in a rush!  Almost all mascaras are "buildable" but if you keep applying coat after coat, all you are doing is wiping the mascara OFF.  Soooo instead add your 1st coat and let it dry for a quick minute (be productive & do your foundation or something else) then apply the 2nd coat (and continue until perfect).


3- Let dry a little bit, but not completely and use the side of your pointer finger to curl and bend the lashes closer to your eye lid.....
The theory is this: when your hair is wet you can get it to hold a curl if you let it dry how you "mold" it......so do the same with your lashes.  This is safer and causes no damage to the lashes like an eyelash curler would.  Give it a try. 


4- Extra Tip: For those with really short top lashes, refrain from putting mascara (little to none) on your bottom lashes...this causes a contrast that will make your top lashes look longer. 

Fall Leaves!!

I am loving this Fall more then usual. The brown, orange and deep pink leaves are inspiring...so my suggestion this season is to pull out your inner-fall and wear warm browns, coppers and pinks on your eyelids. The fun part about fall is that even though the colors are deep, you can still pull off bright colors too. So if you feel like looking mysterious and fun at the same time don't be afraid to wear brown, copper and deep pinks together for your eye shadow this season!!! Trust me, you will get "double takes" everywhere you go.

Another Suggestion: Wear gold on your lid, and pink in the inner-corners and then do shimmery browns under your eye. Or even the opposite, try a smokey brown on your lid and then wear a copper under your eye. The contrast will make your eyes pop!
