Make Up Tip of the Day

Warning: What you are about to see might haunt you.

The infamous "Spider Lashes" 

  With this look you are DEFIANTLY not getting a guy. I've seen so many girls, including some of my friends sport this look and think its beautiful which is not. Your lashes look like spider legs and look weighed down. If you are not a Drag Queen go easy on the mascara and fake eye lashes. 

 By the way, LOADING up all that mascara onto your lashes everyday will ruin your lashes in the future. You will end up like this woman in the ^photo^ above and barely have lashes. 

 A Make Up Do! Natural Yet Intense Lashes.

 More natural looking lashes makes you look awake and refreshed. It can also make your eyes appear larger or wider depending on your eye make up. After three months you should always throw away your mascara because after a certain period of time your mascara dries up and collects bacteria. I'm sure nobody wants an eye infection so please keep track of how long you've been using your mascara. 

How do you get natural looking lashes without the spider lash effect?

Step One: Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. Start at the root and hold for five seconds. Then curl the tip of your lashes and hold for five seconds.  Make sure you get all the lashes from the outer corner.

Step Two: Take your favorite mascara and pull out the wand. Before applying the mascara remove the excess mascara on a tissue. 

Step Three: Holding the wand horizontally, start at the root and wiggle it side to side all the way up to the tip of the lashes thoroughly. If desired add another coat before your mascara dries. (We don't want any clumps.)

Step four: If you want to put mascara on your bottom lashes use the tip of the mascara wand without reloading your brush and gently pat your lower lashes in a downward motion. 

Hope this helped some of you! 

 

 

Fashion Tip Of the Day

Acrylic Nails. BIG No No. 

Acrylic nails are so tacky and cheap looking. They're not cute and not attractive. The longer the worse. Unless if your going for the Jersey Shore or Jerseylicious look just don't do it. 

 Manicured Nails. Chic and effortless.

Opt for a more polished look. Its more clean cut and elegant. (P.S You can save money doing your own nails. All the money you spend on Acrylic Nails can be used for a new pair of shoes or even an outfit.)
