Fabulously fluttery lashes
Want heavy fringes for your eyes? Grab an eyelash curler and follow these simple instructions from the pros.
“These lashes give eyes an elongated shape,” says make-up artist Romy Soleimani. Curl and apply lengthening mascara to the upper and lower lashes. Once set, draw a thin stroke of black pencil along your top lash line and smudge it. Then wiggle a volumising mascara brush against the roots and pull it through. Finally, swish your wand, windshield-wiper style, across your corner lashes to beef them up.
SPIDER LASHES
Once a sign of bad taste or technique, spider lashes are now desirable. But, “they’re fuller and more fluttery than before,” qualifies make-up artist Pat McGrath. After curling, coat top and bottom lashes with a volumising formula then curl again and add another three coats of the mascara. Revisit the lash ends with a ball-shaped brush. “Hold the wand vertically and use a metronome motion to really get that spiky effect,” she says.
LONG AND DEFINED
Two coats of lengthening mascara fix a stubby fringe. First, squeeze the wand in a paper towel to wipe o‑ extra liquid. Apply one coat, let it dry completely and swipe on another. Shimmy the brush into your lash line and swiftly pull it through. “This rapid wiggle-slick move separates lashes and makes eyes look bigger,” says Soleimani. Remove clumps by brushing through with a clean wand while the mascara is still wet.
