We hope you enjoyed the Easter break and you all ate way to many chocolates or had a few too many wines with your family and friends! We were all busy making the lovely ladies of the Gold Coast and Brisbane beautiful but enjoyed every minute of it - and of course ate a few too many Easter eggs along the way! Last week we featured our eye lash style icon Kim Kardashian and how to create glamour plus lashes so we thought we would follow up this week with "If you can't take it - JUST FAKE IT"

Fake eyelashes can be a bit tricky to put on yourself and girls there is nothing worse than badly applied lashes that are lifting at the corners or too long for your lids... SCREAMS FAKE! Now although there is nothing wrong with fake it's the million dollar question that makes them so worthwhile "are they real or not?" So the team at Runway Express Experience have put together a HOW TO GUIDE for applying your packet lashes...

Nine simple steps and you are out the door:
  1. Complete all your makeup first. 
  2. Especially make sure you line your lashes, even going so far as to lift your eye lid slightly and line the upper inner rim line with a black pencil.  Use NP China Doll Gel eyeliner along top lash line, increasing the thickness at the outer edges and incorporating a flick if desired.  Always go up at the outer edges on any makeup look to avoid a droopy eye look.
  3. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler if they are straight.
  4. Check the width of the false lash and trim outer edge if required.
  5. Squeeze some of your eyelash glue out onto the eyelash packet.  Using a bobby pin apply a thin line of glue along the lash strip all the way along.
  6. Wave the lash in the air for a few seconds so that the glue has time to get tacky.  This is the key!
  7. It is easiest to get a friend to apply lashes to you and vice versa, but if you don't have an extra pair of hands around you will want to look down into a mirror, hold the lash strip in the middle, line it up so that you have a 2mm (approx) gap between your very inner corner and the start of the actual lash.  Press lashes into lash line.  Try to keep eye closed, till glue has set. 
  8. Glue will dry clear.
  9. Perfect lashes ready for your close up!
Well happy fluttering ladies! Have an amazing long weekend x
