L.F DOES A/W - SPIDER LASH

Pat McGrath showing you how it's done. Best tip I picked up from the video was just to 'paint' the lashes by just patting/dabbing on the mascara to build the layers rather than combing them though each time.

I'd say this is a more 'cleaner' version of the 'spider lash' look but I love the simplicity of the lash and bold lips look.

Charlotte Free looks AMAZING. The lashes border that gross but cool line.. I personally LOVE it.
HOW TO CREATE THE SPIDER LASH:
  1. GIVE YOUR LASHES A REALLY GOOD CURL USING EYELASH CURLERS AND SET THEM WITH A MASCARA THAT WILL HOLD THIS- I USED A WATERPROOF ONE
  2. NEXT I APPLIED INDIVIDUAL LASHES RANDOMLY TO THE TOP LASHES, THIS COULD BE DONE WITH THE LOWER ONES TOO
  3. NOW GRAB A MASCARA THAT DOESN'T SET TOO QUICKLY (E.L.F) AND START BUILDING- I DID ONE INITIAL COAT/COMB THROUGH AND THEN USING MCGRATH'S METHOD I USED STARTED TO DAB ON THE MASCARA TO 'SET' MY DESIRED FORMATION
  4. TO THICKEN THEM EVEN MORE BETWEEN THE LAYERS I DUSTED ON LOOSE POWDER AND REPEATED THE MASCARA METHOD TO SLOWLY BUILD THE LASHES
  5. KEEP GOING TILL YOU ARE HAPPY- I THINK MINE WAS AROUND 6 COATS
Hey guys, this make-up is more of a 'trend' one but I really enjoyed creating this. It was fun to go mascara crazy and breaking a make-up 'faux paus'.
Since the eyes are so full on - I just perfected the skin, defined the brows and for the lips I exaggerated the shape and patted on an eye-shadow on top of my lipstick to create a matte velvet look. I also used a gold glitter cream to highlight the cupids bow and tear duct area.
This look has the looks wrong but right kind of vibe but I hope you like it :)
