False Eyelashes
Would You Wear False Lashes Like Agyness?
Last night, Agyness Deyn joined Lady Gaga and Diane von Furstenberg among others at the ACE Awards Gala in New York City. Agyness, still donning ultra-dark hair, showed off a more polished coif that usual, however what was most interesting about her look wasn't her hair, accessories or clothing — it was her makeup! Wearing feather black false eyelashes, on the bottoms of her eyes as opposed to the tops, from a distance it appears that her eyes are shut when they are actually wide open.
LED Eyelashes Light Up Halloween
Straight from Japan comes the newest innovation in false eyelashes — light-up LEDs that come on and off at your will. Totally necessary and probably prohibitively expensive? Yes.
How Often Do You Wear False Eyelashes When You Go Out?
Try and look past Paris Hilton kissing a chimpanzee, and check out the heavy duty false lashes that she's sporting to a bowling alley in New York. Lots of celebrities like Eva Longoria and Cheryl Cole wear falsies all the time, but I typically reserve them for special, fancy occasions. Let me know in a comment below often you take the time to apply false eyelashes.
Lotsa Lashes: 21 of the Most Extreme Looks
Back in 1919, famed makeup artist Max Factor invented false eyelashes to enhance the dramatic performances of leading Hollywood starlets. Since then, there's been a bevy of lashes from which to choose, with Shu Uemura leading the industry in the most fashion-forward styles. (Even I've gotten in on the action.) These "lotsa lashes" looks are always quite memorable.
The Look For Less: Fun Feathered Lashes
False eyelashes are a lot of fun, especially when you have the opportunity to play around with unusual and wild styles. Sometimes, wacky lashes are bold and brash, but other times, they're artistic and fantastic. Shu Uemura's Fleur-Ever lashes fit firmly into the latter category.
Reader Review of the Day: Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes
There are many pros for lengthening your lashes, particularly when the method is inexpensive and works in an instant. Recently, reader Krissysrose reviewed Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes ($4), and here's what she had to say about these temporary enhancers:
I love these eyelashes! They fit well and can look completely natural or drag-queen-dramatic depending on the style.
Beauty Byte: Girls Aloud Partners With Eyelure
Eyelure has just announced that they will be joining forces with famous British girlband Girls Aloud to create a line of bespoke eyelashes. The girls, who actually wore Eyelure lashes for the duration of their Tangled Up tour last year, have had full input into the project, as they are individually designed based on their personalities and tastes.
Liz Martins (Girls Aloud Makeup Artist) said, "I have been using Eyelure lashes on the girls for years.
How Much Would You Pay For Longer Lashes?
The desire to draw attention to the eyelashes has been going strong since around 4000 BC, when ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken lashes and eye areas. Fast-forward thousands of years later, and the mascara industry brings in over an astonishing one billion dollars a year. That's not even including other eyelash-enhancing products such as extensions, false eyelashes, and now Latisse, an eyelash-growth drug approved by the FDA last December.
Bat Your Lashes at This Cool Typeface
Graphic designer Amitis Pahlevan created this typeface out of individual false eyelashes. No, it's not a font that you can install on your computer — yet — but it's an inspiring example of the creative things people make out of everyday items. I particularly like how the softness of the lash flares sets off the black tips, giving the letters a fuzzy quality that's retro and artsy at the same time.
Doing Drugstore: Andrea Modlash Starter Kit
I love the festive look of false eyelashes but have trouble swallowing the price. Many times I've passed by this lash line in my local drugstore, and decided to pick up the Andrea Modlash Starter Kit ($5.79) for a holiday party. I was most intrigued by the applicator – I've used tweezers before but this fits the entire length of the lashes and looked to me like I could get quite the grip, but did I?
