Penneys Individual Falsh Eyelashes

I generally go for strip lashes when I'm applying false lashes but after hearing Rosie Connolly from Hearts Heels & Handbags talking on Snap Chat about how to apply the Penneys individual false lashes I thought I would give it a go... 

At only €1.50 you can't really go wrong; the Penneys strip lashes are also €1.50, great value for Saturday night lashes. But for important or posher events I prefer the Eyelure Petite lashes.

So this is me before, wearing only Rimmel mascara (no other make-up):

I didn't use the lash glue which came with the lashes as I can very sensitive skin, so I used Duo lash glue which I know doesn't give me any reaction. 

-First I applied mascara & let it dry

-Then I squeezed a small bit of Duo glue on to a pallet 

-I took one of the longest lash groups with a pair of tweezers & dipped the end into the glue

-I then applied directly on top of my lashes in the outside corner

-As I worked my way in towards the corner of my eye I used shorter lashes

-In total I used approximately three groups of the longest lashes, two of the medium & two of the short.

So I definitely found applying them a lot more fiddly than the strip lashes... I'm definitely going to need more practice applying them. For me the effect wasn't dramatic enough for a Saturday night, but for during the day they do give a nicer effect than just mascara.

How to Get The Perfect Red Lip

-Gently exfoliate lips with an old, soft toothbrush & non-glossy lip balm

-Line just outside the rim of the lips with NYX's Wonder Pencil (I have used WP01 Light) and blend outwards slightly to make sure there is no harsh line.

-Apply MAC Prep + Prime lip primer all over top & bottom lip. Wait a few moments.

-Line all around the lip edges with Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner (Shade 024 Red Diva) and make a cross at the cupids bow to make it more pronounced. Use the liner to fill in lips.

-Apply Kate Moss Lasting Finish for Rimmel (Shade 111 Kiss of Life) carefully over top & bottom lip.

-Blot lips on tissue being careful not to smudge lipstick.

-Seperate a facial tissue so that you only have 1 ply, place over lips & gentle apply a small amount of translucent loose powder over tissue.

-Apply another coat of lipstick.

-Using the NYX Wonder Pencil again, line outside of lips, for a crisp, clean finish.

Voilá!
