For that extra flash in your wink, think thickness, length, and luminosity - all three super easy to achieve with just the right balance of tools and nourishing ingredients.

curl up with a good look
A curled lash noticeably opens the eye, making your evening style dramatically pop with an undeniable coquettish flair.
1) Let your lid relax halfway down the eye before placing your lashes inside the mouth of a clean, well-designed curler.
2) Close down, allowing the lashes to sweepingly fan across its diameter.
3) Simply open and attempt once more if there is any noticeable pinching.
4) When closed, hold this position for 5-10 seconds, releasing when time is up.
This may be repeated if you choose to maximize the ante. Always make sure to curl before applying mascara - curling a mascara-laden eye may lead to unnecessary breakage.
faking it
When you want optimum glam, lash out with sumptuous falsies. Trim your purchased fakes to accommodate the natural line of your own originals. With the fake stuff prepped and ready to go, apply a minimal line of accompanying adhesive along its base, let this chill and set for an average of one minute. With the help of a mirror, apply the false eyelashes just above your own, sticking to the line as close as possible.
Practice makes perfect, but remember your new eyelid embellishments may be adjusted with a pair of tweezers.
ask for an extension
