How I achieve long voluminous lashes; for asians

Posted by Unknown at 01:39 0 comments
Hey everyone, it is no surprise that our asian lashes are short, stumpy and overall serve little purpose on our face. But today I wanted to show you how I achieve my semi - ok lashes.

Recently I purchased the Shu Uemura Eyelash curler from David Jones for AU$29. I'm pretty sure they have recently lowered their prices (YAY) from AU$40.
Shu uemura eyelash curler, Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Liner in Place, Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Waterproof Everlasting.

 So what I do is curl my lashes by clamping the eyelash curler at the base for 15 seconds, then I move halfway up the lash and repeat and finally at the tips. I then apply the mascara, focusing at the root and slowly wriggling it up to the tips. I also like to blink into the mascara as I find its less clumpy that way. Then I tightline using the Rimmel liner, to make my lashes look nice and thick and voila!


I just wanted to mention the hype about the shu uemura eyelash curler is true. I've never experience pinching that has occurred with all other curlers and it makes my short stubby asian eyelashes to have some length to them as you can see from the picture. I know this may not seem amazing to most people, but FOR ME ... I am so glad.

Also I went to the gym after taking this picture, and after my workout, can you believe their was no smudging and the curl did not drop at all. Props to the maybelline mascara!

Let me know what your favourite mascara tips are.

Hello everyone :)

Today I'm going to share my eye look of the day using The Balm's Balm Voyage Palette which I got from David Jones for $34.95. Such a good deal, since I got it 30 percent off at boxing day sales. :)

products used : balm voyage palette, the Balm Mary Lou-manizer, maybelline colour tattoo in barely branded, maybelline master precise liquid liner, rimmel scandaleyes waterproof kohl kajal in black and maybelline the falsies volume express waterproof everlasting 
Step 1: Taking the maybelline colour tattoo in barely branded, apply the base all over the lid.
Step 2: Pack on the mint green colour (B2) all over the lid
Step 3: Apply the dark teal colour (C2) in the outer corner.
Step 4: Using a warmer colour such as C4, blend out the green eyeshadow and darken the outer corner using a small amount of A4
Step 5: Use a matte highlight colour (B1) to highlight the brow bone.
Step 6: I filled in my eyebrows with a cool taupe colour (B3)
Step 7: Using the Maybelline liquid liner, line the upper last line, creating a small wing.
Step 8: Tightline with the Rimmel Kohl Kajal Liner and line the waterline as well. Smudge A4 on the lower lash line
Step 9: Curl lashes and apply mascara.
Step 10: Apply Mary Lou- Manizer on the inner corner to highlight.




AND VOILA, YOU'RE DONE.

Tell me what you would like to see next time :)
