PS: How did your lash addiction start?
Nikki Phillippi: Growing up, I wore lashes for dance and loved the look it gave me when I was on stage! I hadn't worn lashes too often since my dance days, but when I was given the opportunity to design my own natural-looking pair, I was less intimidated to wear them AND was reminded how much I love the look lashes give me. They really open my eyes and honestly just amp up my whole look!
PS: What advice do you have for women who are nervous to try false lashes?
NP: My advice is to start with a natural lash like I did. Do what makes you comfortable, but don't be too intimidated to try something more bold and fun! Just keep practicing putting them on. No one is perfect right out of the gate . . . so don't stress too much.
PS: What is your top tip for flawless lash application?
NP: So this tip was actually given to me by James Charles: Use a pair of tweezers to push the lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible. Then use the tweezers to squeeze together the natural and false lash for a seamless look. Another tip from my mom is that you don't need as much glue as you think you do . . . I've started using way less, and it looks so much more natural and the lashes still stay put!
