Or at least it seems when I put on an amazing pair of false eyelashes. These Shu Uemura Mini Star Glitz False Eyelashes are a favorite. I think mini lashes are the perfect way to learn to apply falsies. I’m no makeup guru (as evident by my uneven/needs more blending makeup job) etc but I can put these on myself pretty easily. It’s not always a perfect application but I get the look I want. I love bright colored makeup, because I don’t wear too much anywhere else so I like to make my eyes pop. I wore this look with this outfit if you’re curious.
Below are all the products I used on my eye area. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them.
Urban Decay eyeshadows: Fishnet, Ransom, & Scratch eyeshadows (Deluxe Shadow Box)
Dior DiorShow Mascara in Black
Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero
MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil in Taupe (cannot live without)
I’m probably going to order a few more lashes from Shu Uemura this week along with their brand adhesive. The ones I’m ordering are more regular wear lashes. I want something that will make me feel glamorous that I can use on a daily basis.
If I’m making a weird face sorry haha, I was trying to get a good shot of the makeup in my lobby before my neighbors rolled through.

May 31, 2011 at 7:51 PMOooh, I love those eyelashes. I agree- mini sets are way easier to use than full sets of false lashes.

May 31, 2011 at 9:09 PMAs usual your hair is so fun! I really like the makeup and how it compliments your hair colour.
mini sets are easier to use than full sets of false lashes but I’ve found that over time full sets get easier to put on. I wear them everyday and it takes about 10 seconds to get them on! At first it was more like 10 minutes…

June 1, 2011 at 8:24 PMI so hear you about the falsies… they make a world of difference sometimes!
Oh to Be a Muse says
June 1, 2011 at 10:32 PMi think your eyelashes are great Ria! definitely makes sense to do these small ones and then work your way up–especially for someone like me…i’ve only done falsies once ever!
hope you’re having a great time back at home–i have that same diorshow mascara and i love it!

June 2, 2011 at 9:49 AMLoving the eye makeup! I REALLY need to stop being lazy and get back into all my eyeshadows :) And really wish it was warmer when you came to NY. It was kinda cold and nasty for a while. Now it’s hot and nasty just like I prefer :) Thanks for visiting my blog :) Follow each other?

June 4, 2011 at 8:41 PMThey look great, any tricks for putting them on? cos im hopeless.. I opted for “permanent” extensions recently and love them.
Ria says
June 5, 2011 at 6:52 PMAwww, I’d definitely use a brush to apply the glue, and get as close to the lash line as possible. I like permanent extensions too.
