Edgy and Wearable: Purple Eyelashes!!

Image

I’ve always been attracted to colored mascara from the time I was about 13 and discovered navy blue mascara *ahh memories* I tried some purple mascara by Maybelline not too long ago and I was NOT impressed. You couldn’t even tell it was purple at all! Fast forward to a few days ago: me browsing the cosmetics at Wal Mart and coming across the HARD CANDY section!! I was unaware HARD CANDY was even sold anymore!! Shows how much I know. The display was quite pillaged and plundered, but I did find a tube of 1000 lashes Mascara in Divine purple. It was 6 dollars so I didn’t even think twice about buying it. I did some limited research and found out it wasn’t all that great according to a few sources. BOO!! I WANT purple lashes!! So I got an idea to try it in conjunction with my Essence volumizing lash powder and here are the results!! 

Steps:

1. Curl your lashes! I curl twice on each side.

2. Apply a generous coat of 1000 lashes mascara in color of your choice. I chose Divine purple 🙂

3. Before mascara dries, apply lash powder with enclosed spoolie.

The powder resembles Splenda sweetener 🙂

4. Apply 2-3 more coats of mascara until desired volume and color are achieved.

5. Optional: Apply a eyeliner in a similar color to upper and lower lash line. I used Stila Smudge stick in purple tang.
