A while back I got all hot and bothered over the amazing new false eyelashes available from Shu Uemura Tokyo Lash Bars in select stockists. Feathers. Spiders' webs. Bejewelled creations and outer flares that can (and did) make a grown man weep.
Well, ladies, they were nothing compared to the latest batch that have just started making their way into the stores! Ever wanted to create the perfect smoky eye make-up but readily admit you are not the best blender? Have a look at the Smoky Layers Lashes. Almost furry-looking and they instantly transform your eyes into smudgy bedroom eyes without any other make-up. Add them to a full eye make-up and you will be a sensation. If you are not sure you can manage the lashes, Smoky Layers also come in smaller ¼ inch segments. Add those to the outer corner and three seconds later your eyes will become registered deadly weapons. And if you are feeling flirtatious, Black Velvet Feathers are wispy thin fluffy feathers that give a velour-like finish to the lashline. And they are applied as easily as any other strip of lashes. Unexpected and fabulously dramatic. Not enough? Try the double length Brown Velvet Feathers!
All of those sound like a Drag Festival gone wrong, but they are so girly and easy to apply that I have used the Segment Smoky Layers on the last eight brides I have done weddings for.
The new lashes range from £12-£15 and if you go to one of the Tokyo Lash Bars, they will teach you how to apply them for the price of your lashes. And if you have a special occasion, they will customise any lashes you want with Swarovski crystals to match your frock or your mood. Check their site at www.shuuemura.com to see the entire range and find the nearest Shu Uemura Tokyo Lash Bar to you.
