| Eyelashes |
Last week I asked you all to weigh in on Theodora Richards' classic milkmaid braid, and while many of you weren't fans of her 'Heidi' hairstyle, a few of you thought her fresh-faced makeup looked quite nice. I did as well, until commenter @KerBear618 brought attention to something that almost escaped me:
Her left eyelash was slightly askew and a little bit lower than its counterpart (which looked totally fine.). I thought maybe it was just a bad shot, or perhaps the camera's fault, but after checking out a few other snaps from that night, I can confirm that the particular lash in question was indeed lopsided.
But I couldn't figure out why, so I decided to discuss the matter with an expert. I asked editorial makeup artist Alana Wright what could have possibly gone wrong here, and she said it was either one of two things:
1. It was too long.
Her falsies weren't measured to fit her eye causing the band—which was much too long for her—to droop down on the end.
2. There was an issue with the adhesive.
Maybe there wasn't enough adhesive, or it didn't properly adhere to her lash line. Or, moisture from her eye repelled the adhesive (which should have been waterproof).
To avoid major mishaps like this one, Wright recommends doing a dry run first. Always measure the lash against your eye first, then cut the excess from outer corners. Next, place the band on lash line again to double check the fit before applying adhesive.
So glad we solved the curious case of the lash gone askew! Do you have a problem applying false lashes? Have one of your lashes ever looked like this?
Psssssssssssssssst. This amazing little doohickey makes placing false lashes on yourself oh-so-easy!
