The Windows To Our Souls
If eyes are the windows to our souls, then eyelashes are the carefully crafted curtains and pelmets that beautify them. The more you invest, the better the look.
There was a time when I was a strict off the shelf, cheap and cheerful Ikea girl. Needless to say, as time has passed, I’ve progressed to handmade curtains and bespoke blinds. The difference they make is indescribable.
Gone too are the days when a lick of No. 7 mascara would be all my lashes were treated to. They now have a strict regime all of their own, and one from which I’ll never deviate.
The number one trick is to curl them. What’s the point in having beautiful curtains without tie-backs to die for ? I’ve experimented with many a method, including electrically heated appliances, however have now settled on Tweezerman Eyelash Curler as my hardware of choice. For extra curl try heating briefly on the radiator or with a hairdryer, however hopefully it goes without saying to check the temperature before putting anywhere near your eyes.
For extra glamour try the super duper Jinny Lashes. Professionally fitted, these extensions are attached to individual lashes for a look that will last up to 3 months. Martyn Maxey’s salon in Mayfair is the place to go, however be sure to save your pennies. With a full set ringing in at £ 150 it ain’t cheap but after all those years of frugality at Ikea maybe it’s time to splash out ?
