Kicking up the eyelashes. July 23, 2009

 

 

 

I am obsessed with proper shaped eyebrows and beautiful lashes. I could talk about this for hours. They just make you look so good. You can also vary your type of application to express the look that you want to convey.

One nice trick for the subtle kicked up is adding individual lashes to the outside corner of lash area.

       a. Purchase these at the drug store. There is no need to spend a ton. Ardell individual lashes at about $5 and last a while. Make sure that you have some glue as well.  Dou is my favorite brand.

      b. I curl my lashes and then put on several coats of mascara. Then I put the individual lashes on the corner edge and work my way in, stopping when I like the look.

    c. When you are putting them on, I use a tweezer to hold the lash and place on by holding it above my eye and then going down into the lash line. If you go straight in the lash area, you will not get proper angle.

Have fun with it. You will love the way you look.

Looking good, Elizabeth

One trend that is not so new. July 9, 2009

One new trend that is not so new

 I was in shock. Fingerless lace gloves were present at many of the fall fashion shows this week. It was 1982 and Madonna’s Borderline album was all that I played and I just stared at the cover, trying to figure how to copy her style. Her video rocked. I bought my first pair of black fingerless lace gloves and also got super long acrylic fake nails and painted them deep red.

I never thought  that I would see the this trend recycled and I never will repeat it, but if I was in my twenties again I would. Too bad the extremely big hair that I wore then hasn’t recycled itself. I would definitely wear that again.

Do you know any other couple that could recreate this photo? I just laugh picturing my friends trying to do this. Bravo Beckhams!
