‘Tis the Season to look festive. If you want a look
that you can wear to any holiday function no matter the print or color of your
dress. Try a holiday shimmer eye and make them pop with extensions. Here is how to get the look:
The Shimmer
- Use a shimmery cream (try MAC - Shimmerene glitter cream) or if you have a powder shimmer you can mix the shadow with a small amount of water. The water will help create a dense metallic pigment that's not too soft.
- Apply shimmery shadow above the iris in your eye and on the inner corner of the eye. This will open up the eye, lighten up what is usually a dark area of the lid, and helps eyes pop in photos.
- If you do go with the shimmery eye, don't go overboard with the shimmer. Apply shimmer to no more than 2 places. For example, shimmer your eyelids and your cheekbones but don't also add a batch of shimmer to your décolletage (collar bone).
- Get a pair of lashes that match your natural lash color. If the lash is wider than your eye, trim one side of it lash by lash. After applying glue pick the lashes up with tweezers and bring it as close to your natural lash line as possible. They should be longer towards the outer corner of the eye then make sure there is barely any gap between your real eye lashes and the fake.
- Many salons now offer semi-permanent eyelash extensions. These are applied to the individual lash and usually last 2-4 weeks (depending on glue and application). Make sure you get an experienced esthetician and ask for references.
