Fit for a queen
Egyptian artefacts depicting Cleopatra’s image indicate that eye makeup was already in use, with very early concoctions being made from kohl and honey. oascara really came of age in the 20th century, with innovative new formulas which are constantly being improved to this day.
Some people have naturally dark, full lashes, but most of us need help to get that perfect, movie-star look. Right now there are some interesting products on the market, promising to help you achieve longer, stronger or curlier lashes.
A little curl
Lashes can easily be enhanced, by adding a little curl. I’ve always thought the tools involved look scary but it turns out they’re super easy to use and the end result is well worthwhile. A good basic curler will do the trick every time.
Here’s how:
open the curler and close it around your top lashes.
Gently squeeze for about 30 seconds.
Fully open the curler before removing.
Remember:
- Mascara will only damage or weaken your lashes if you forget to remove it at the end of the day. Choose the remover that suits best – for waterproof or for normal mascara – and use it religiously.
- Always apply mascara after curling, or your lashes will stick to the curler and you could end up pulling them out
