#TuesdayTip : How to Apply Fake Eyelashes

Good morning & Happy Tuesday! 

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a HUGE advocate for fake eyelashes.  There’s something fun, pretty and dramatic about using falsies and it’s astonishing just how much they amp up any look.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to apply fake eyelashes and for today’s Tuesday Tip, I came across a great tutorial by The Beauty Department.  I am a big fan of this site - they offer a lot of wonderful tips & tricks from hair to makeup and everything in between!  Check out their “Quick Tips for Lash Strips.”

If you still want more, I’d be happy to do a video tutorial on how to apply fake lashes. Let me know!

Have a beautiful day!
XO.

2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
3. Something perfect to wear if the employer or man of your dreams wants to see you in an hour.
4. A purse, a suitcase and an umbrella you’re not ashamed to be seen carrying.
5. A youth you’re content to move beyond.
6. A past juicy enough that you’re looking forward to retelling it in your old age.
7. The realization that you are actually going to have an old age—and some money set aside to help fund it.
