How I put on falsies

Well, hello there!

This video is a raw procedure of how I apply my falsies.
My favorite is MAC #3 because it looks au natural.
My other favorite is the slightly slanted falsies from Makeup Forever, great for an evening look.

When applying your false eyelashes:

1. Prep your real eyelashes, curl it and apply mascara, if preferred.
2. Don't be in hurry! Remember to wait at least 15-20 seconds or until the glue is tacky before application.
3. Measure the length of falsies so it matches the shape, curve and size of your eyes.
4. Don't neglect to apply your eyeliner, gel liner, cream liner, whichever one you use to hide flaws.
(I prefer MAC's blacktrack fluidline)

Claire

So, I've been battling with zits, acne, pimples, you name I've had it for years now.
I've also tried many different products and it only works for a month then it's back to my irritated skin!
Also tried microdermabrasion, facials, laser treatment, blue light, chemical peel..the whole nine yards!
But thank God for liquid Vitamin E. Not only do I skip my usual moisturizer (only use it when needed)
but I also use liquid Vit E to prevent my acne from scarring.
My usual regimen is washing my face with a cleanser with 2.0 Saicylic acid and I use a cottan swab, dip it inside the bottle and then dab it on the blemish/acne, once in the morning and before bedtime. The results have been amazing!

Try it and let me know how it works for you.

xoxo,
Claire
