eye makeup

I’ll admit it, as much of a nuisance as they can be to put on (especially after a glass or two of wine), and the sticky, glue-in-your-lashes aftermath upon removal, I’m addicted to false lashes. Something as simple as elongated, thicker fringe can do wonders for adding a feminine boost to your face, even when wearing minimal makeup on the rest of your face! And as long as they’re kept under control (no Vegas-length lashes for a simple night on the town!), they’re a fun beauty tool to experiment with. But mascara that can get me the dramatic look without the falsies and glue? I’m skeptical, but I won’t knock it till I try it! MAC Cosmetics False Lashes Mascara hit the shelves for a limited-edition stint at the beauty counters during last holiday season and now it’s back in full force to jazz up our summer nights out. After trying it out myself, I have to say I do love the ultra-dark tint and the way it didn’t clump like other thickening formulas, but I have to face it — it’s not a miracle worker, of course. It may be the most lush my lashes will get without a little extra help from falsies, but I won’t be giving up my fake lash habit anytime soon!
