Fine Lashes

Hi girls,
Today, I don't have a specific product to gush over. Instead, it's all about an EXTRAORDINARY bit of beauty advice I learned from my dear friend/legendary makeup artist Sam Fine. Over a delicious gourmet pizza at Franny's last night (if you're anywhere near Brooklyn, look into it...and please ignore the girl-I-am-so-over-you hostesses), Monsieur Fine illuminated my entire world with one single, casually dropped, mascara tip. Now, I've always applied mascara AFTER curling my lashes. Huge mistake. See, according to the genius, adding coats of mascara to just-curled lashes only succeeds in straightening them out. Turns out, you need a pre-curling "primer coat" to provide hold, and ensure that your curl will stay. You know, like how you use setting spray before you using the curling iron. Makes so much sense, I'm furious I never put it together, myself. Anyway, here's how to do it. Whip out your mascara wand, blot it with a tissue (you want the thinnest coat possible), and quickly swipe it through lashes. Now, use your favorite lash curler. While your lashes are "setting," work on the rest of your makeup. When your face is finis, apply two coats of mascara to your lashes. Sam ALWAYS applies his final mascara coats last! I tried it this morning, and it honestly made all the difference. My lashes are popping something crazy. Viva la Fine!
xoxo,
Tia
