At Brazilian spa, the famous “wax” is on the menu, but the rest of their beauty services are all top notch, and most a good deal less painful.

How
To: Wear False Eyelashes
Contributed by The
Budget Fashionista, who incidentally
we LOVE!!
Q: What was more breath taking
than the fashion in the movie “The
Devil Wears Prada?
A: Anne Hathaway's fabulous eyes,
brought to the forefront of her
face through the use of false eyelashes
(and, yes, a bit of mascara). False
eyelashes aren't just for Hollywood
starlets and fictionalized fashion
editors- this inexpensive beauty
accessory can be purchased from
your local Walgreens and applied in the comfort of your
own home.
Here's the scoop on the lashes....
Home: Get started by picking
up the Andrea
Modlash Starter Kit ($5.79
at Walgreens or drugstore.com).
Standing in front of a mirror, curl
your own lashes with an eyelash
curler (note: ALWAYS curl your lashes
BEFORE applying mascara- curling
after can rip out your eyelashes).
Then remove the false eyelashes
from the kit and measure to your
own lash line. If the lashes are
too long, trim them with a pair
of small eyebrow/grooming scissors.
Use the enclosed applicator to hold
on to the lashes while applying
a thin ribbon of adhesive, give
the adhesive 30 seconds to get tacky,
then apply the lashes to your upper
eyelid.
Let the lashes set for about 1 minute,
then cover any exposed adhesive
with eyeliner (in my opinion liquid
eyeliners work best). Lashes will
easily peel off when you're through
with them; just be sure to remove
them before bed (or you'll have
a morning mess on your hands).
Professional: This is a great
option if you're a little afraid
to go it alone and have a little
extra cash. Head to the nearest Saks
Fifth Avenue and visit the Shu
Uemura Tokyo Eyelash Bar,
where you can pick out a set of
lashes (available lashes ranging
from small extensions to plush faux
fur) and have them professionally
applied, with prices starting at
$15. Other make-up companies, like
MAC, sell false eyelashes, but Shu
Uemura is like the czars of lashes.
Shu Uemura artists will show you
how to properly apply your lashes.
One of the of tips you'll learn
(that can be used by those trying
this at home) is to squeeze a small
dot of adhesive onto your hand and
swipe the lashes through before
applying. Lashes will last a day
and are reusable, so be sure to
store them properly. If you can't
make it to Saks, visit www.shuuemura-usa.com,
where you can register for free
samples and free shipping on purchases
over $75.
