Glam Up Your Lashes

As little girls, we have all watched our mothers in the mirror meticulously tending to her lashes with an eyelash curler. Every bride wants to look glamxurious on their wedding day to help widen their eyes and enhance their natural lashes. Whether she’s getting married in the morning or the evening, in the church or on a beach, a little pop is what every bride wants when it comes to their makeup.

There are so many varieties of lashes on the market; strips, individual, clusters, minx, and semi permanent. Fake lashes are available in many colors, lengths, shapes and sizes. The two main lash colors are black and soft brown. The great thing about these inexpensive gems is that they can be reused. Just store them in their original packaging to help retain their shape.

A bride’s eyes tell the story of her wedding, and lashes accentuate that memorable tale. A wedding is the whimsical fantasy for all women and what bride is complete without her bold beautiful lashes. Here are the key items you will need to apply these great finishers.

To apply your fake eyelashes you will need the following items;

Fake eyelashes

Eyelash glue

Small scissors

Tweezers

Mascara

Something Blue-EyeShadow

written by Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis

As a young girl, we grew up hearing “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed Something Blue.” Well, that something blue will be the new trend in 2010 for brides. Bright, bold cobalt blue will be seen more at weddings in the flowers, bridesmaids’ dresses, the brides’ shoes and even bright bold eye shadows.

At a recent bridal photo shoot I decided to play with an L’OREAL HIP DUO blue eye shadow in Forgiven that can be used in a more smoky way. Remember when wearing a strong eye you should keep the lip color very light and I went with NYX Cosmetics Diamond Sparkle nude lip gloss in Beige Sparkle.
So brides your something blue doesn’t have to be hidden anymore, it can be glamxuriously worn down the aisle.
