One way to instantly add glam to your overall look is lashes. There are a few ways you can add lashes to the ones you already have.

1. Strip eyelashes
2. cluster/individual lashes
3. lash extensions

Personally, I like the strip lashes because they are much quicker to apply and I am usually in a hurry.  make sure to measure the stip to your eye before applying, and if it’s too long don’t be afraid to cut it to fit your lash-line.

Clusters, and individual lashes take a little longer and more precision to apply. They aren’t impossible, they just take practice. Be sure to keep the longer, thicker lashes toward the outer corner of the eye, to keep the look as “natural” as possible.

For strip lashes, cluster, and individual you need to also buy glue if your lashes do not come with there own tube. You can buy the glue in clear or black. Also you’ll need a pair of tweezers to help you apply the lashes with more grace. You can also buy a special tool specifically for applying strip eyelashes.This tool looks like a very large and wide pair of tweezers, however, I’d still keep the other tweezers close by.

Lash extensions are individual lashes that are applied professionally and last a few weeks. It’s all the rage in Hollywood, however I would test your eye sensitivity with the more temporary lashes first. I hear lash extensions can be a bit uncomfortable and feel like a perma-wig on top of your eye.

Go for it, glam up those baby blues, or browns and add a little more lash!
