Eyelash lift magic:
What matters is your eye shape
The false eyelashes have received a major update, not to mention an upgrade. What started as a one-size-fits-all and super bold has evolved into a wide range of options, from all-natural looking to all-glamor, that can be tailored to fit faces and shapes. your personal eye.
Why try false eyelashes? They don’t smudge (like mascara), don’t cause redness (as some eyelash growth serums do), and they don’t carry your lashes when you take them off (this is often the case with lash lifters or extensions); They also last for multiple uses.
According to Jenna Lyons and Troi Ollivierre, the two co-founders of LoveSeen, the key is finding the right shape. “We customized our lashes to different eye shapes,” says Ollivierre, a top makeup artist. “We design each person with different eye shapes, ages, ethnicities and beauty goals in mind for the most natural look and feel. The bonus is that the right shape is also easier to apply. “Whether you have sparse lashes that need fullness, long lashes that need more definition, or something in between, here’s how to choose the lash that’s best for you.
Find your best lashes
Option 1: Cate
Vibe: You-but-better than nature
Best for: Hooded eyes, short lashes
“Cate is our shortest, most fragile lash,” says Ollivierre. “It adds fullness and length, so it looks great on anyone, but especially those with shorter, sparser lashes or hooded eyes.”

Option 3: Troi

Best for: Almond shaped eyes
“Ash is a fuller lash with a combination of black and brown lashes,” says Ollivierre. “It works well on almond-shaped eyes because it elongates the eyes and gives it a bit of a cat’s-eye feel.”

Eyelashes?
Right. Ollivierre avoids using cream eyeshadows because the oils in them can prevent the eyelash glue from sticking; that said, powder or cream-powder is perfect. Start with a light shade and apply evenly from the upper lash line to the crease of the lid. “Then apply a medium shade over the lighter shade,” he says. “Put the third, darkest shade close to the lash line and draw it toward the crease.” At the lower lash line, add medium shadow and blend in between the lashes, then apply your false lashes afterwards. He says: “Apply lashes after eye makeup — it’s less complicated. Which eyelash extensions? Go to see a movie. “Thick lashes like Troi will create more depth for smoky eyes.”

Brown or Black?
“Use brown lashes if you want a fuller but more refined look,” says Ollivierre. “Brown is also super flattering on blondes. Black is more of a statement, so use it when you want to make a bigger, wider impact.” Both Cate and Iris are brown or black; Drift is a mixture of both.
