From Runway to Prom

The first look is from the Betsey Johnson Spring 2010 show. I love the smears of red glitter on the eyes and lips. This look would be perfectly pulled off at a Valentines Day party or, of course, PROM!!! This look is very played up for the Betsey show, but it could be easily toned down but applying a natural lip color, rather than the vampy one used in the show.



These next looks are all about the hair and comes from the Badgely Mischka Spring 2010 show. Their inspection? The futuristic Jetsons meets the red carpet. They have a nice mix between sky-high poofs and sleek knots. You are bound to find som inspiration from this video.

Permanent eyelash extensions differ from false eyelashes in several ways. First, eyelash extensions are more natural looking than a strip of false eyelashes. Extensions are made from a synthetic hair, which tapers at the end like natural lashes and is applied one eyelash at a time and they add length to the lashes, much like hair extensions. Eyelash extensions are permanent, but they do need to be reapplied in a touch up, every two weeks, as your real lashes fall out naturally every 10 – 12 days.

There are several benefits to permanent eyelash extensions. They look natural and give you fuller, thicker lashes. You can choose the length and the color of the lashes you want. Mascara is not needed, and neither is expensive eye makeup remover to dissolve the mascara. Since the lashes are permanent, they last through tears, sweat, showering, sleeping, and the sun.

The application process is relatively simple and needs to be done by a qualified beautician. The beautician will clean your eyelids and lashes, ensuring they are free of oil, makeup, and dirt. She will then put a special adhesive on the bottom of an extension and adhere it to the top of your natural lash. The extension will bond to the lash in about 10 seconds. This is done one lash at a time, with tweezers, so it will be time consuming. On average, about 30 to 80 lashes are used per eye, and the procedure can take around 2 hours. Afterwards, you will need to avoid water for about 2 hours, but then the lashes are permanent and can be enjoyed through any activity, even swimming!
