I used to have such a hard time applying false lashes when I began wearing makeup. I always used my hands and would sometimes smudge my makeup. I never wanted to use tweezers out of fear of poking my eye out. Then I ran across this amazing tool by Sephora, the Bulls Eye Lash Applicator. It retails for $12 on Sephora.com. It is a very easy to use product, but it does take practice like any other tool to use it effectively.
These are the lashes I have been using lately!
I love the look of amazing full lashes I get with out having to apply two sets of lashes.
I'll be the first to admit that I enjoy the "Love & Hip Hop" reality show on VH1. I do have my favs and others that just urk me to death (Stevie!). However, Karlie Redd has intrigued me during the show and I have been loving her makeup. I was inspired to do a makeup look that I think she consistently is rocking during most of the episodes.
She keeps it neutral with just a touch of a smokey eye. She also has a very contoured nose and jaw line. Her hair is also for the most part always long and bone straight.
Since I've been natural, I have come to love a number of tools that help me in my daily, weekly and even monthly hair care routines. My advice for buying any hair tool is to make sure it's comfy and also that it will not damage your hair in any way.
Hair clips, and funky had bands are my go-to accessories for adding pops of color to my hair styles. These are easy to apply and don't snag my hair.
These are my STAPLE hair tools! I enjoy them the most. All (except the bobby pins) are Goody brand products. The Spin Pins (upper right) are great for keeping buns in place (tutorial below), and my Goody brand Soft Flexible Clips (bottom center) are great for keeping hair out of my face.
The Goody hair elastics have no metal bands so they do not damage my hair via snagging, and I also make sure my bobby pins have the little "bubble" on the end so as not to snag my hair as well.
My final tools help me the most on wash days. The Denman brush is great for smoothing and detangling. Soft head bands, mostly in cotton or satin fabrics, help to keep my hair out of my face and my edges covered and controlled. The hair sectioning claws or clamps (left) help to section my hair during wash day so that I can effectively clean my hair.
