The Stiletto Lash: Fringe As Fierce As A Fendi


The Stiletto Lash.

It's the style of lash you're batting when you march into the corner office of the boss of your boss' boss to demand a salary hike because dammit, you're worth every penny.

Or the kind of lash you wear when ordering a diiiirty martini for the hot boy at the bar - the one you brazenly marched up to even though he was surrounded by a pack of pals so thick you had to crunch some toes to get to him.


Stiletto lashes were created by Sephora Beauty Pro Emily Massa for ladies who don't mess around. "Stiletto lashes are those long, thick, separated lashes," she says. "To really be a stiletto, you need major length."

For this look, "First, you gotta work the brush," she says. "Get it right into the lash line and work the brush back and forth, starting from the lash base and moving the brush all the way to the top."

Next up, her picks. She's got two that'll do the trick
:


I-mju Fiberwig Mascara








Dior Diorshow Mascara








These lashes aren't for the shy or timid...if the shy or the timid are still reading this post. For the rest of you - go be beautifully bold.

I think you'd really need falsies to create this look! Fiberwig is great but it really lacks that Va-Va-Voom appeal and it just lengthens without volume, whereas Diorshow just volumizes. I'd suggest the two together if you don't want to do falsies :)

Jared, one of our teammates from Portland, dished up a good trick for fake-looking lashes that aren't: MUFE Primer + Fiberwig. The MUFE primer has fiber in it, so layered with the Fiberwig it's outta sight.

I like Emily's tip for a fast lash that still rocks - I've been practicing her technique and getting good at my "mascara hand."

I recently tried "Enormous Lash" and OMG what a fantastic product! i now have thicker, longer lashes without ANY eye irritation!! Once you get started with this product you wont need to go anywhere near your eye with those fake lashes! Within 2 weeks I could see the results of this fabulous product! I now get tons of compliments on how fantastic my eye lashes look. For the first time I my life I have long thick lashes!
