Sultry lashes - Christiandior.com


There are essentially 3 ways to create a false-lash effect that give your eyelashes that sweeping sultry look that is oh-so-sexy. The most straight-forward way is obviously to stick on some fake lashes. However this requires much skill, precision, time, and is quite costly(if you screw it up alot). You can of course get semi-permanent false lashes attached but that can turn out to be a bit of a hassle as well. For those of us particularly skilled at picking off glued plastic with a tweezer and skillfully trimming and sticking it to one's lids, kudos.

The second way is to apply two different types of mascara to your eyes. First sweep a lengthening mascara over the lashes to establish the length and shape of the hairs while separating them. A good one would be MAC's Zoom Lash, this one does a good job in separating individual lashes while extending them. Then apply a thickening mascara, like L'Oreal's Voluminous mascara to finish off with the volume. If you don't mind wielding two mascaras around every time you do makeup, then this option is the way to go.

The third way is to find a smashing, fantastic mascara that frames your lashes around your eyes like heavy curtains. The best product for dramatic eyes on the market so far is probably Mascara Diorshow. It might not be suitable for daywear because it's so heavy, or for those who prefer a more natural look. However it's absolutely essential for fans of big lashes; making your eyes all the more intense and exubrient in the night time.

Now in waterproof, what more could you ask for?

Napoleon Perdis Loose Dust

Napoleon Perdis Loose Dust- from napoleonperdis.com



I have an unhealthy obsession with Napoleon Perdis' Loose Dust range. I'm not afraid to admit it, if it means I get to walk around with brilliancy emanating from my eyelids. Unfortunately, my undying desire to possess all 30 colours would entail a $720 chunk chipped away from my bank account.


My love for these pots of shimmer is not unfounded. The uniquely long-lasting and brilliant luminosity and intense colours radiate from each pallet and you are overcome with craving to stick them on your face. Any glitter-obsessed child would agree with me here. I sigh at the rainbow goodness of it all.

Sponge Eyeshadow Applicator - from beautyhill.com
Unfortunately the nature of loose dust means that it doesn't tend to stick on your skin very well. So it's best to apply it with a sponge eyeshadow applicator. Press the powder into your skin, don't sweep. These applicators can be obtained by stealing from your mother's makeup box.

Cake Eyeliner Sealer - from napoleonperdis.com
If you have extra time to dwardle around with, or just have too much money to spare, you can purchase this clear little bottle for $25 with your powder. This Cake Eyeliner Sealer is multi-purpose. The most useful of which is to turn your pot of shimmery goodness into a liquid eye-colour that you can sweep across your eyes, drying to become smudge-proof.

Sable Brush 2h - from napoleonperdis.com
For those with surgeon's precision, you can use a tiny eyeliner brush to line the liquid colour along your lids for a glamourous outline of your eyes. These can be obtained by relenting to the persuasion of the Napoleon sales girl and purchasing the little brush to please her.




Some of these colours can be doubled up as a blush. My favourite shade for this would have to be Pink Mocha (# 7) with a golden pink hue to brighten up any complexion and is subtle enough to be sweeped all over the eye. No digital image could do this shade (or any shade) any justice. Luckily, ever since Napoleon's viral invasion into the beauty counter scene, there should be one just around the corner, or five.
