Glam Lashes in Seconds

Hi my pretties,

I've had a lot of questions about how I do my fake lashes so well. Well first things first, I've honestly been wearing falsies since I was like five! Not really, but pretty darn close to it because of growing up competing in dance competitions. So I'll list the steps below for you and what I use. Also, check out my YouTube today too, because I have a full on tutorial posted there of me actually applying them for you to see ;)

WHAT I USE

lashes: 82s (from work), but these are awesome HERE | case: amazon | glue: House of Lashes

THE STEPS

1. I usually will snip about 3-4 lashes off the outer ends of my lashes. This is just because I find the band too long for my eye and they always end up poking me... so I just trim them slightly shorter.

2. Take your glue of choice, I'm using "House of Lashes" in the white. This particular glue is a wand style which is awesome! Simply brush a light coating onto the lash. You really don't need a lot. This stuff particular is super sticky in a good way.

3. I let it get tacky first. I either will blow on the lash or wave it for like a hot second. Not long at all.

4. Place your falsie on your lid! Now usually most would tell you to place right along your lash line, and this is true ... but I have a trick to make your eye look bigger. So on the inner end of the lash I place this right along my lash line, but as I place the outer edge of the lash down I take it slightly up away from my lash line. Not anything crazy, just a little higher so your lash is on angle. After your lash is placed on your lid, gently press it down to make sure the glue sticks.

5. After the eyelash is glued down, I quickly while the glue is still wet press up on your falsies. So open your eye and look up to press your fake lash up to a more standing position. This helps in the drying process to keep them lifted creating a bigger more cat eye effect!

6. Voilá! You're finished. All I do from here is add my liquid black eyeliner to make the lash line richer looking, and add mascara. I do use mascara after my falsies. I know some say never to do this, but it helps keep them lifted and blend in with your real lashes.

I hope these steps all made sense and that they'll help you the next time you try wearing fake eyelashes. If you have any questions just leave a comment below. Don't forget if you're a more visual learner to head to my tutorial HERE!

Creating the Perfect Brow

Hey friends,

So I know quite a few of you have been asking how I do my eyebrows for awhile now & I thought it would be nice to just share my routine with y'all. I'm not gonna lie I feel like doing my eyebrows is the longest step in my makeup routine, but that's also because I'm anal & they have to be perfect. I'll go through my routine below - if you're more into watching a tutorial you can find it on my YouTube HERE!

5 QUICK & EASY STEPS

So although it takes me the longest to do these, I can create my brow in 5 easy steps. I could totally cut a few of these steps out of my routine, but I think they add that little bit of extra to create a perfect defined locked in look.

STEP 1

Using my pencil I outline the start & end of my eyebrow. I have a lot to fill in when it comes to the center portion of my brows, & I feel like the pencil is a must in order to create the shape. It also helps make it look more natural rather than super drawn on. The starting point of your brow should go straight up from the crease of your nose. The end point is determined from the crease of your nose to the angel of the outer corner of you eye. Lastly the arch is created in the mid way point between the two.

STEP 2

After I have the shape made, I then go in with the dipbrow to fill in & make look full. This stuff is absolutely AMAZING & if you were to only use one of these products I would have to say it should be this one! This is the only thing I used for quite sometime & then I decided to make my eyebrow process longer lol. But for reals, this stuff is great.

STEP 3

After they're pretty much drawn on, I could be done here but I like to go in with my powder to fill in the extra little sheer spots. I'll brush the hairs in their opposite direction to see where they still need more filling in & I feel like the powder does a great job for this. It's not too harsh & you can go as light or as heavy as needed.

STEP 4

LOCK IT IN!

I like to use this clear brow gel to set my brow. You just did all of this work, you sure as hell don't want it to budge. They do make tinted brow gels, but I prefer the clear.

STEP 5

This is an optional step as well, but in my opinion I think this give your brow the extra pop & definition it deserves! Make your brows a statement, let them be fierce & frame your face! This dual highlight stick makes your arch look so defined and cleans up any smudges or flakes that may have occurred. You use the shimmer end first then use the matt side right over top. I blend out with a flat brush so it look even & not as harsh of a line.

And that is that! 5 easy steps, it really doesn't take that long it's just getting use to the products & how they apply & figuring out your perfect shape. All my products are from Anastasia Beverly Hills (they're linked below), & I use the shades "Caramel" & "Taupe." No worries though there are tons of shades to choose from.
