Oops, Forgot to mention my beauty tip…
So I learnt a very cool make-up trick the other day.
I have always wondered how to achieve that thick, kinda clumpy, model-esque eyelash look. And now I know.
And so will you in just a second.
So, you put a layer of mascara on. Then poke your finger in some talcum powder and then put this on your lashes, so it sticks to the mascara. Then add another layer of mascara so cover the whiteness of the talc. Then add more talc. Repeat until you achieve the desired result!!
Here is my freaky looking eye with just a bog standard 2 coats of mascara (yes I am aware that my eyebrows need taming):
Here is my eye with a couple of repetitions of the talc thing. I did it in quite a hurry but with a little effort, and maybe some eyelash curlers, I think it could look very good.
A lot thicker and longer I am sure you will concur!
I’m going to bed now. xxx

The first picture looks more doe-eyed and innocent, which I like. It’s a good tip though. I’ll have to give it a shot.

Why thankyou! Yeah it is a bit of a mission to remove it. A couple of lashes did come out during the process, I can’t deny! But that’s prob more to do with shitty eye make up remover. Happy talc-ing! xxx
