Lashes With NO Liner

Lately, I haven't been feeling like wearing a lot of makeup. So on days when I have to go to work or do a shoot I have been rocking the natural-minimal makeup. Today, I was in that mood again but I felt like wearing some lashes so that's what I did! I didn't want the lashes to standout too much because I wasn't wearing any eye makeup. So I opted for the most natural pair I had. The lashes I wore today were the Salon Perfect #53. You can only purchase  this brand at Walmart but there are plenty of lashes out there that look similar. I love these lashes because they are exactly like my own lashes so when I wear them the blend in perfectly and make my natural lashes look a little thicker.


Here's are some tips for wearing false lashes without having to line your eyes. 

-Make sure you use a pair that are in GREAT condition. Using lashes that you have already worn can sometimes make it more noticable that you're wearing lashes.

-If you're not wearing anything on your lid, apply a translucent or setting powder before you apply the lashes. This will help the lashes to adhere and last longer.

-When you apply the lashes get them as close as possible to the base of your natural lashes (almost like they're sitting on top your natural lashes.

-Apply a little mascara after the lashes have dried to help them blend in even more!
