Do you want eyelashes that make people stop and take notice.......? Of course you do!!!!

There are so many false lash products and brands out there, here are 2 that I love and which suit all budgets.

#1 Eylure Individual False Lash Ultra (Boots £5.11)

Eylure Individual lashes give you a pretty, natural look as they offer shorter lengths. I use these lashes for every day use or for dates. They last up to 5 days as long as you gently rub your eyes with water when taking your make up off.

Natural all over look: In a pack you receive, small, medium and large lengths. For me the large length is a little to long so I cut them down to roughly the same size as the medium. You can apply these one of two ways. You can apply the shorter ones from the inner corner of your eye to the middle of your eye and then fill from the middle to the outter corner with the medium lashes.
                                              

Natural Winged look:If you have relatively long lashes naturally, you may want to go for the winged look with your lashes (a favourite of Cheryl Cole and Megan Fox). To get this look you start by adding the smaller individual lashes to middle of your eye (I usually use two), then fill from there towards your outer corner with the medium lashes. Or for a more dramatic look, swap and use the medium and long lengths.

                                                        

                                           

#2 Luxe by Shu Uemura (Space NK £13

Shu Uemura sell amazing lashes. They offer full strip and individual. My favourite of the collection are the Luxe. Luxe give an amazing dramatic look. Ideal for nights out or photo shoots, as they'll make your eyes darker and therefore the whites of your eyes look brighter and stand out. These lashes often only stay on until you wash your make up off but I have managed to make them last 2 days by carefully washing around my lashes with water. These lashes have been linked to J-Lo and Katy Perry. The look below.

                                

                                

Things to remember when applying false lashes:

• Apply on the lashes just under the eyelid, not on the eyelid itself. It gives a more natural look.
• Use a clear or black glue avoid white at all costs
• Ensure to apply a thin layer of eye liner to the top eyelid to disguise any glue residue.
• Apply carefully using tweezers as it aids visibility unlike using your fingers.
• Hold lashes in place for 10 seconds before more onto the next one.
• Always always take lashes off with eyelash glue remover. This can be purchased from ebay for £3 or in stores such as House of Fraser.

Now be careful to not cause any crashes, when fluttering those lashes!
