We Are FAUX False Lashes A little touch of luxury

We Are FAUX Lashes

I wanted to write a little blog on how amazing these lashes are and share this with you all.

After using my first pair from We Are FAUX yesterday on my Metal and Metallic Shoot I was so impressed with them I just had to shout about it J. Each set of lashes is handcrafted giving them that extra special edge and difference to other lashes you will have come across. As soon as you open the box and have a feel of the lashes you know they are of an amazing quality.

The lashes I picked were called “Good Girl” they had individual studs stuck to them. When I saw them I knew they would work perfectly with the theme of the photo shoot I was doing. And wow they looked absolutely stunning. I was so pleased with them.

In most lash boxes you receive a small instruction booklet, you did get one of these with We Are FAUX, but if you are not very confident in applying false lashes then there instructions will work much better for you, simple and to the point. They actually give better advice on application than other lash brands.

Have fun, you will not be disappointed. I know were I will be shopping from now on for my false lashes.

Girls Aloud False Lashes - My tips on application and pictures

 Girls Aloud False Lashes – Nadine

Hi All, I opted for some different lashes this weekend, I like to try new ones to test them out, so I thought I would share them with you all.

I have previously used Cheryl’s and Sarah’s from the Girls Aloud range which looked beautiful. This time I thought I would try Nadine’s I can’t have favourites now can I They were so very easy to apply, they were really bendy (not stiff at all) I find the bendier ones easier to apply as you have more flexibility. 

How to apply

• Firstly measure them to your eye size, I tend to find that for myself on most strip lashes I only really need to cut off roughly half an inch just enough so they are not glued right into the corner of the eye as this can be very uncomfortable and will irritate you.
• Apply some of the glue, to the back of your hand and wait for this to go tacky (roughly 30 seconds) I use Duo Eyelash Glue.
• Whilst waiting for the glue to work, curl your lashes and apply one layer of mascara.
• Run the lashes down the glue, just a thin line you don’t want too much on the lashes as it can get messy.
• I find it easier to stick the outer part of the lash down first then grab a cotton bud. Whilst still holding down the outer eyelash stick the inner corner down with the cotton bud this way you have control over both ends.
• Once it is stuck into the correct place, which is as close to the lash line as you can get. Use the cotton bud to just dab down the lashes all the way across just to make double sure they are stuck into position.
• Then apply another coat of mascara just to make sure they blended in with your own lashes

Everyone has their own ways of applying that is best for them, the above application is how I do it and this is the way I find works best for me. I have tried numerous other ways but this has come out on top.

Give it a try; I hope you find this application easy.

You can buy Girls Aloud lashes from Boots or Superdrug priced at £5.35, the Duo eye lash glue I purchase from ebay and this is between £4.00 - £5.00 (but lasts forever) I purchase the clear glue, so it comes out white but dries clear – Genius

Have fun xx

Ardell Duralash Individual Lashes

Ardell Duralash Naturals – Individual Lashes

Hi Ladies,

Over the weekend I used some of my Ardell Individual False Lashes, I use these a lot on Brides to be as they provide a natural full lash look. As bridal make up is more natural I tend to stick to individual lashes rather than strip lashes as these can look a bit much on a bride.

You can purchase Ardell Individual Lashes on Ebay, the prices are fantastic I get x1 pack for £3.29 or you can buy 3 packs for £10. For us Make Up Artists it is sometimes best to buy in bulk so we have a supply in our kits.

You can buy a pack with just short, medium or long lashes in or a pack with a mixture in. I tend to buy a mixture of the lashes, I use more of the medium length but I do like to use the longer lashes on the outer eye are area.

These can be fiddly little things to apply; a steady hand is always a good thing to have when applying these. J

Below are my top tips on applying individual lashes:

• Always curl your eyelashes first
• Apply one coat of mascara first, some people don’t do this but I find it helps with the blending of the individual lashes.
• Try and gage the length of your own lashes and pick the most suitable length from the pack. If you have short lashes and apply the longer ones it will not look right. As you can see from my picture I have medium length lashes so I used medium individual lashes and put two longer ones on the outer eye area to provide the fluttering effect. Yet still natural. I also used x2 shorter length individual lashes coming in towards the inner eye area. If you have short lashes then the medium length individual lashes will be just fine for the outer eye area.  Just go one length longer for the outer eye area.
• Apply the lashes as close to your natural lashes as you can, I apply them sitting in between the lashes so instead of them sticking to the lash line they stick right into the root area. You can use as many lashes as you like, I like to use quite a few so they look full.
• Once you have applied all the necessary lashes apply x2 coats of mascara, again this will really blend the lashes into one another. And really make your eyes pop.
• I used L’Oreal Mega Volume Mascara in Black, and to apply the lashes I use Duralash Glue from Ebay, this comes out white but dries clear – A godsend.
• And lastly, I apply a line of gel liner across my lash line just to cover were the lashes have been stuck (if they are visible) and mostly to provide some definition. I use Fashionista Gel Liner or MAC Fluid Line for this.

Hope this helps for when you next apply your lashes x
