Why, and How, You Should Use a Lash Curler

December 22, 2011 By Joi

Using a Lash Curler, correctly, can give your eyes a lift, make your eyes look bigger and brighter, and improve the appearance of your entire face! What’s more, it’s the fastest and easiest way to take years off of your appearance – now who isn’t in love with that idea?!

Needless to say, investing in a great Lash Curler makes beautiful sense.

Be sure you use the lash curler the right way, however, for the best results.

First of all, remember the eye area is delicate. Focus your attention on the lashes, themselves, and don’t pull and tug at the skin around your eyes.
Curl your lashes when they’re dry and free from mascara or makeup. Wet lashes don’t hold a curl.
Position the curler at the root of lashes and give three firm, gentle pumps. Release. Repeat.

Here’s a great bonus tip from Prevention: To create the longest-lasting lash curl possible, heat your curler with your blow-dryer for 15 seconds first. “The warmth holds the bend better,” says NYC-based makeup artist Mally Roncal.

Eye Fashion: Seeing the World With New Eyes by Benedict Smythe

The eyes are the windows to your soul so it basically makes sense to make sure that you give the world the best view possible. The eyes have always been a key point in fashion and why shouldn’t it be? A person’s clothes and outer appearance has the ability to attract attention but it’s always the eyes that make you stare and want to get to know the person more.

With the eyes playing such an important part in one’s beauty, it then makes sense that a lot of effort is being put into ‘beautifying’ your eyes. Here are a few tips that you could use to give your eyes that extra glow.

Simple Tips That You Can Do At Home

Tired, droopy eyes are always a no-no and you can do something really simple to brighten your eyes. Don’t be fooled by the usual cucumber trick – cucumbers have a soothing effect on eyes that does not really last. You can achieve the same effect, even better, by popping a spoon into the fridge for a couple of minutes. Then place the spoon on your eye, making sure that you do not press deeply. Eyes are sensitive and the skin around them is prone to wrinkles so make sure that you handle your eyes cautiously. For a minute or two, just relax and let the cool spoon soothe your tired eyes and – voila – perky, expressive eyes in an instant.

You could also look for eye mask with gels in them. The concept is basically the same, just place the mask inside the fridge and once it’s cool enough, you can wear it and let it soothe tired, red eyes. This also helps you eliminate eye bags and those dark under eye circles. Of course, nothing beats sleep so make sure that you also get proper sleep.

Popular Eye Fashion

You don’t have to settle with just boring eye shadows anymore. You can use a variety of things to basically ‘dress up’ your eyes. From wearing false eyelashes, having your eyebrows tattoed or wearing contact lenses, there are so many options that you can choose from.

False eyelashes are popular these days and have been made to suit your needs. You can wear something that looks as natural and believable as normal eyelashes or you could choose to wear false eyelashes in more interesting ways. There are colored eyelashes, eyelashes with gems and stones in them and fake eyelashes in varying lengths and texture. It is very easy to wear false eyelashes now these days and with so many options to choose from, it is very easy to play around with them and see what suits you and your mood best.

Now you can also play around with your eye color. Keep people guessing about your true eye color and even surprise them with a few interesting colored contacts. Colored contact lenses that are safe for everyday use are popular these days. Just make sure that you take proper good care of them so you prevent any eye infections as well as make sure that these contact lenses last you a long time. If you are looking for something new in your look, wearing contact lenses might just be your answer. So go ahead, view the world in a different way now.
