Eyelashes...Real or Fake?

Happy Wednesday Fabulous Readers!

I'm Jessica and I am here this week to talk about eye lashes...real and fake! I use both, mostly just mascara up my real lashes and when I have a major event, or it's New Years or I just want to bring some more drama to my look I glue on my fake lashes :)

I'm not saying I'm an expert when it comes to the fake eyelashes, I only use them about a handful of times through out the whole year, but when I wear them I make sure I paint a nice thick top line of my liquid liner to hide any potential mistakes I might make when applying. I also touch up with the liquid eyeliner after I apply the fake lashes. I have about three different kinds, ranging from different levels of bold and dramatic.

My favorite pair is by far my Kat Von D lashes, that came in this amazing palette book called The Tattoo Chronicles Vol. 1. My best friend bought this for my a few years ago on Christmas but sadly when I was trying to look up the links and pictures to blog about it today I see that it is no longer offered in her collection. This is a shame because it was an awesome packaging of a book with a few pages of drawings and writings and then it had a variety of eye shadows, eye primers, my fave fake eyelashes and in a secret compartment under all that was a dual roller ball perfume pen! I only mention it now because it was worth giving props to a great product, but also to highlight how they should continue to sell it! I hate when companies take away products I have grown to love! GRRRR.

M.A.C. fake eyelashes

Anyway, another favorite in my fake eyelash collection comes from M.A.C. When us ladies at Certified Fabulous had a photo shoot for the website our awesome M.A.C. makeup artist Michael provided us with some very cool fake eyelashes. I of course choose the most dramatic ones he had with him! I am pretty sure they are the #34 lashes, dramatically long. Wispy. Features a long, winged-corner edge.

As you can see from my eyes pictured above, different fake eyelashes can give you different looks so have fun with it!

Moving on now to amplifying my real eyelashes, I ALWAYS turn to CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara! I have tried SO many and always come back to this mascara, it is truly amazing and I feel so bare without this very volumizing boost to my lashes :) It never clumps no matter how many times I sweep it through my lashes. It lasts forever and never smudges, smears or flakes off! I will never use any other, and it must always be in the shade of Very Black! Also, I wear contacts and if you do you should know to never use waterproof mascara! It doesn't break down like the regular mascara in the event some piece of it happens to get into your eye! Painful...

On days where I need to quickly make my lashes visable with a touch of color (the beach) I brush on the CoverGirl Lash Blast Length mascara. A thin, light mascara that makes lashes lean and long and is very natural looking. This one is also great for applying to the lower lashes! Again, I only buy the Very Black color.  



So enjoy your makeup, have fun with it and remember to Keep on Being Beautiful You!
