SHU UEMURA'S WHIMSICAL LASHES

Inspired by the wonders of nature...

Shu Uemura’s latest lash collection, “inspired by the infinite wonders of nature”, pits your inner demons against one another. On one side of the battlefield sits Whimsy, on the other, Practicality.

Whimsy urges you to consider the sheer joy that you would experience wearing lashes made from real skeleton leaves covered in gold, or how your soul would feel free as a bird if your eyes were surrounded by a flock of feathers. Or even the effect on your psyche of a trip to the seaside whilst wearing lashes in shades of blue, whose undulating shape mimics the waves crashing against the shore.

Of course at this point, Practicality, who has been impatiently tapping his foot during these flights of fancy, feels compelled to jump into the conversation and point out a few home truths.

Home truth #1: You’re a klutz. And two things that should never be in close proximity, at least for someone with your disability, are glue and eyeballs.

Home truth #2: For you “full war-paint” consists of powder and lip-gloss. Your sole tentative step thus far into the world of eye make-up is a tube of mascara that has been gathering dust in your medicine cabinet for the last three years.

Home truth #3: Despite your mental bravado, there are a very limited number of times when you would venture out of the house with an artistic tribute to winter on your eyelids.

And so Practicality wins this round, but he hasn’t won the war...not by a long shot.

Applying false eyelashes

False eyelashes give you an instantly glamorous look - and they're easier to apply than you'd imagine

There are two types of false eyelashes: full lashes, which add density to the entire lash line, and individual lashes, which can be used to fill in sparse areas or dramatically open up the eye area. Full lashes are easier to apply and don't look as natural, but individual lashes require a steadier hand and a bit more practice. Whichever style you choose, follow these tips to make your lashes look as natural as possible:

• Before you apply the lashes, line your upper lash line with a mahogany eyeliner and smudge it slightly to create a smoky effect. This will help to conceal the lashband.
• Apply the glue to your finger, lightly pull the lashband through it, and wait a moment. With individual lashes, dip the end of the lash in the glue.
• Apply the false lashes as close to your natural lash line as possible; press the lash down for a few seconds on the outside of the eye. With individual lashes, apply them to the outside corners of the eye and work your way toward your nose. For the most natural look, all you need is a few individual lashes per eye.
• After you've applied the false lashes, curl them along with your real lashes and apply mascara.

It's best to reserve this look for special occasions; long-term use can lead to eye irritation from the glue, and even infections.
