Individual lash fun!

Individual lashes-makeup by luis casco

After watching all the "barely there" makeup looks that we are seeing on the runways for Spring 2012 I remembered one of my favorite looks to do, it's quick, easy and for sure a crow pleaser!  In the picture above all I used was a white pencil in the water line and then smudged a light shadow on the lid.  Afterwards I started applying Ardell indiviual lashes in medium and short flare.  Mind you this shot was taken in the makeup room before I was finished and with my phone- it is by no means the final look (I will post when I get it)   The point is that this is a look any makeup artist can do to create impact but in very little time.

The trick is that for individual lashes you should use the individual lash glue (the one that goes on clear)  It is a little tackier feeling and it doesn't move as much.  Also, I'd recommend you curling and doing one coat of mascara on the natural lashes before you apply the individuals-trust me it will make your job a lot easier!


Here's the glue I use for individual lashes: http://www.ardelllashes.com/product/?id=105


















And here's their video on how to apply them properly:
