MAKEUP LITE

TUTORIAL + PHOTOGRAPHY BY AMY NADINE, GRAPHIC DESIGN BY EUNICE CHUN

Have you ever wanted to temporarily dye your lashes darker without adding volume or stiffness? Then this tutorial is for you! I’ve gotten my lashes tinted before and it wasn’t a great experience (it burned my eyes while it was applied only to fade after a week anyway; not worth the torture). Sometimes I just want my lashes to more be noticeable but I don’t want to look “made up” and for those times, this is what I do. Unfortunately it only lasts until your wash your face but it doesn’t burn like lash dye and you don’t need to make a special trip to a salon. Here’s how:

TOOLS:

• Black Liquid Liner: Lacy used this favorite one ($$) above but I also love this waterproof one ($) which is on sale!

STEPS:

1. Draw a quick line on the back of your hand to thin out any clumps on the brush.
2. Sweep the brush through the lashes from left to right, back and forth.
3. Now paint each individual lash from root to tip.
4. Really make sure to stamp the roots.
5. Don’t forget to paint the backside too so it’s covered when you blink or look down.
6. Finish by sweeping the brush through the bottom lashes.
7. We paired this look with Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Wonderland!

For the inquiring minds out there, this is the lilac eye shadow she’s wearing! But you can also create the same effect with this budget-friendly one.
