Today's Fab Tip:
Seriously, '60s and '70s-inspired trends are huge right now. I blame American Hustle. And X-Men: Days of Future Past. And Mad Men. Whatever, it's really big. The easiest way to incorporate any trend that's not your usual style and that you're not willing to splurge on is to go for an accessory or a little beauty trick. Spidery mascara can give you just the right amount of retro without making it look like you're trying too hard and without putting in a ton of effort. Always a plus. Here's how to get that look:
"An extra coat of mascara on top and bottom makes lashes look spidery and retro-sexy."
-- Taken from Lucky magazine, May 2015, page 95.
A lash comb can help you separate lashes for a little more spiky look, and a mascara like L'Oreal's Miss Manga Rock (my current favorite mascara) will make that even easier. The important thing, though, is to do lots of coats on both sets of lashes. Don't skip the bottom lashes, or it won't look balanced or retro-chic enough, k? Super simple.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Curled Lashes
Today's Fab Tip:
Curled lashes open up your eyes and add drama. They're a fantastic way to make you look more awake by day and more sultry by night. Here's how to get them:
"For wicked curves, clamp down your eyelash curler for a count of 20, then immediately apply mascara to lock in the shape."
-- Makeup Artist Scott Barnes in Cosmopolitan magazine, April 2010, page 75.
Simple. Just repeat on the other eye, and bam, instant bombshell lashes.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Open Up Your Eyes
Today's Fab Tip:
"A subtle way to make your eyes look bigger is to apply a second coat of mascara only at the outer corners of your upper lashes."
-- Taken from Fast Beauty: 1000 Quick Fixes by Rona Berg, page 35.
Using a couple of individual false lashes on the outer corners will give the same effect, but mascara is faster. Curling your lashes before mascara also helps to open up your eyes and make them larger and doll-like.
