Doing your makeup for a special occasion can be quite a challenge. It needs to be not only long-lasting, but also as striking as possible. And it has to include a captivating gaze that boosts your confidence and makes your whole makeup look flawless. That’s where false lashes come in – styled the right way, they’ll become your favorite part of the look. How should you wear them for a stunning effect? Read on!
False lashes – a foolproof way to define your gaze
Eye makeup is an absolute must if you want to create a stunning look for a special occasion – whether it’s a family celebration, a fancy dinner at a restaurant or an important business meeting. Defining your eyes the right way is a foolproof way to give your makeup the character you want and play up your best features.
False lashes stopped being associated with a tacky, over-the-top look long ago. Subtle styles not only add density to your natural lashes, but also give them the shape you want.
Before you move on to applying magnetic lashes, though, take care of your lash makeup. Reach for a mascara that will make your lashes look exactly the way you want. You’ll find products that promise all kinds of effects – from thicker, fuller lashes to extra length. The key to success, however, is applying it precisely so you avoid clumps.
Magnetic lashes – the recipe for a quick WOW effect
Eye makeup for special occasions has its own rules. You can often allow yourself a little more freedom and extravagance than in your everyday looks. Dark or metallic eyeshadows are absolutely fair game, especially if you want your eyes to take center stage. A foolproof way to bring out their depth and mystery is magnetic lashes, which have been enjoying huge success in recent months!
What sets them apart from traditional glue-on lashes is how easy they are to apply. Even less experienced lash wearers who are just starting out with magnetic lashes can manage it. All you have to do is draw a line of magnetic eyeliner on your upper eyelid (right along the lash line) and place the lash band on it using an applicator. Importantly, you can trim the band to the right length – depending on the effect you want.
Some of the most popular magnetic lash styles are the ones shaped like a cat eye – the much-loved “cat eye”. Available in different lengths, they put a strong accent on the outer corner of the eye. They work beautifully with both soft and bold looks. Even better – with their help, you can turn soft daytime makeup into an evening look in just a few minutes.
Lashes with magnetic eyeliner – the timeless liner that adds an edge
A mesmerizing gaze with a hint of mystery is a simple recipe for a standout look on special occasions. Bold eye makeup starring magnetic lashes will make the whole look striking, yet still in very good taste.
If you like experimenting with makeup, try the foxy eyes technique. It’s very similar to the well-known cat eye or smoky eyes, but it puts much more focus on creating a bold black line with a richly pigmented eyeshadow or eyeliner. The “fox eye” paired with magnetic false lashes not only looks amazing, but also helps disguise hooded eyelids.
If you prefer more understated eye makeup, go for a combination of light metallic eyeshadow, a dark winged liner and wispy magnetic lashes. You can be sure you’ll feel like a real movie star.
