1st off wow thank you to everyone that views my blog. I have people from ALL over the world. For some reason a LOT of people in Russia, which hey I love all of you too!!
Ok on to the mascara and the makeup.
For those of you that don't really know me, I am in LOVE with Mascara!! I love my eye lashes (yes I was blessed enough to have really long lashes (thanx to Mom & Dad)). Which is a good thing, because really I am not very good at putting false lashes on. :\
So I have always loved L'Oreal Mascara, and don't get me wrong I still totally do and still will use them. But where I am in my life (area wise) the only L'Oreal they have is on the expensive side, like its top of the line (which really it is in my book haha). But when I say expensive I'm talking Lancome expensive, ya dig?
So I decided to try Golden Rose, which if you haven't heard of you should click their name and go to their website, find our where you can buy it. I know they sell it in Turkey and where I live, but not sure where else. So I got like 4 different kinds of mascara cause they were cheap. Then they gave me a free one (different kind) for buying so many products. And let me tell you, BAYBY this was the best thing I ever bought!! These mascaras have L'Oreal beat. My lashes are touching my eye brows LOL!
Another thing about me, I can put alllll my makeup on in mmm lets say 10 min (for a regular day of makeup), but when ever it came to my lashes it takes me for ever because I'm SOOOO picky and I love full lashes. But while in Makeup school I learned probably the BEST trick you can know in the industry.
Sure contouring and highlighting, yes these are very important, but this here secret is by far the most useful and smart technique.
Haha, what is the secret? To hire me to do your makeup for your special occasions of course :). Hire me and I will not only DO this secrect on you but I will TELL you how to do it.
Ok, Ok I will tell you. This was taught to me by Robert Jones, Thank you Mr. Jones you made my life and make up application faster and well more beautiful!
Step one - After you put your mid tone curl your lashes, (which I thought I was the only one that did it this way but Mr. Jones does it this way also). No one wants a 'CRIMPED' eye lash right? I want a nice flowing curl. So start at the root of the lash, careful not to pinch your skin, LIGHTLY press a couple times, pull the lash curler out just a bit and repeat the process all the way to the tips of your lashes (so about 3-4 times). You should find a nice curl instead a 'crimp'.
*Note: Ok if you forget step one, which sometimes when I'm in a hurry I do, DO NOT DO THIS AFTER YOU HAVE PUT MASCARA ON. When you do, it not only takes some of your 'scara off but it breaks your lashes.
Step two - Put one thin layer of mascara (waterproof will hold the curl better) on your upper lashes, I like to use the new plastic applicators that are really popular right now. I like to put a SUPPER thin coat on the bottom lashes cause, well my bottom lashes are not very full or long.
Step three - Finish your shadow, then add another layer of mascara to your top lashes, using a DIFFERENT type of 'scara different, brand, different applicator which ever, just use a different one. Ok again I like to put a SUPPER thin coat on my lashes.
Step four - Add your blush and maybe some cheek contouring, then add a third and final layer of 'scara. Again using a different type of applicator.
And there you have it your perfect lashes.
The key here is to have your 'scara dry between each layer, so weather you are putting on blush or lipstick, finishing your shadow or doing your hair just make sure you give your 'scara time to dry. This will give you a more full and B-E-A-Utiful lash.
I hope you love your lashes as much as I do! post me before and after pics of how your lashes turned out, I will do a gift for the best lashes, so post by 7 Sep 2012 (my BDAY!). You can click on the brand names above and it will take you to websites.
From Golden Rose I used so far and love:
Cat Walk - its in an orange tube and has a plastic tip, with like 4 circles instead of it being "straight"
Mascara Volume - Thickening Mascara with Provitamin - reg thin black tube
Wonderful Lash - 12x Colume and Lash Life - this is very WET so I used it for my Second layer
From L'Oreal I love:
*Extra Volume Collagene - which I think they only have this in the UK areas
*Architecte 4 D, which again I think only in the UK BUT I am pretty sure its the same as Voluminous False Fiber Lashes
*Voluminous (original) My cousin Cari got me HOOKED on this probably in 2002 or 2003, been usin it ever since!
I hope that you all have a long beautiful life just like your long beautiful lashes.
