Lash me!
I love eyes. It sounds a bit trite, but they really are the window to the soul. If you look at someone talking, you look into their eyes (unless there is a giant pimple somewhere…then you glance at that or spend all of your time trying not to glance at it that you end up completely missing any features…) So, ultimately, eyes are important. Especially if you wear glasses like i often do. They become magnetized!
I’ve always lusted after light green eyes. I’ve got hazel. Sometimes green, sometimes brown. Mostly brown if I’m honest. This is compounded by the fact that I do indeed have the “largest pupils” my eye doctor has ever seen. So great, black and brown as the focal point of my face.
I am always trying to make them appear bigger, more dominant, etc. It takes the focus away from other features, such as chipmunk cheeks! But now, my best friend Carmindy from the show we all know and love, What Not to Wear, has given me a new idea that seems less slutty than it used to…
FALSIES!
Check out her instructions for having huge Angelina-inspired peepers:
Step 1: Cut a pair of false lashes in half and use only the shorter half to glue on to the outside corner of your lash line. (This will look more natural in real life than using a whole strip.)
Step 2: Draw a line on top of your lashes starting from the inside corner of your eye and sweeping across the length of your lashes, hiding the seam of the falsies and winging it out a bit at the outer corners.
Step 3: Apply a sheer white eye shadow across the entire lid and then sweep a taupe shade in the crease.
Step 4: Apply black mascara from roots to tip to blend the real ones with the fake ones.
So, ladies out there, this seems exceedingly work intensive. Perhaps this is an option for very special occasions where photos will haunt you (e.g. weddings, proms, senior pictures, etc.)
