In my last post I mentioned that I was going out for a meal to celebrate my mum's birthday, so I've decided to show you what makeup I wore out that night! This look is a dark brown smokey eye with full, volumised lashes and a nude pink lip. It's very easy to wear and is my "go-to" type of look for when I go out during the evening.
Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer (Review HERE)
Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eye Primer
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light 2
Stila Angel Whitening Powder Foundation in Shade B
Benefit's She's So Jetset Makeup Kit: First-Class Face Powder for blusher
Benefit's Sha La Lovely Makeup Kit: brown eyeshadow for my brows
Urban Decay Naked Palette: Sidecar for the lid and Darkhorse for the outer corner (Review HERE)
Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette*: Faint for the crease and Venus for inner corner and brow highlight
SHF False Eyelashes in Style 0074*
2True Effortless Eyeliner in 01 Black
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara in Superjet Black (Review HERE)
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 206 Nude Pink
I decided to go with a pair of SHF false eyelashes in the Style 0074 as I found these very natural looking yet still gave my lashes added length and volume. The lashes themselves are quite thin, but have a criss-cross design that helps give a lot volume and definition to your lashes. They also have smaller lashes in between the larger ones which also helps with volume. I did have to trim them down a little bit so they would fit my eye as I don't like lashes going right into the inner corner. But this does mean they should fit quite a few eye shapes and sizes. Unfortunately, I couldn't use the adhesive that came with the lash set as I couldn't pierce the seal with the lid (I'm far too weak haha) to get the glue out, so I used one that came in my beauty kit that's by Salonsystem.
These lashes are meant to be lightweight and comfortable to wear which, at the start, I did agree with. However, after about 2/3 hours, the edges of the lashes were beginning to dig into my eyes and became really uncomfortable. I had to take them off! I was quite annoyed by this because I loved the way they made my lashes look. In the end I just reapplied some more eye liner and mascara and left my look at that.
As much as I liked how these looked on me, I don't think I'll be trying these lashes again or the rest of the range as they are either very dramatic or colourful. I think these lashes would be great for fancy dress or for making your eyes the feature point of your makeup. But personally, I don't think these are for me.

Have you tried SHF false eyelashes before?
They look so natural, I could hardly tell they're fake they just look seriously long!
ReplyDeleteHope your mum had a lovely birthday :) Xx
They don't even look fake lashes . Lovely look .

The lashes look amazing on you. They don't look fake at all, very subtle.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the rest of the range and I think you got the best pair, the other look a bit like their meant for fancy dress or a rave!

You look lovely :) I hate it when lashes dig into the corners of my eyes too, usually I trim them right down and just apply them on the outer two thirds of the eyes its much more comfortable x
ReplyDeleteWow they do look so natural, I could hardly tell they're fake, if you hadnt have mentioned it, I wouldnt have known x

They're so natural, I would expect false eyelashes to go all "essex" but they seem like they genuinely belong to you! x

I love this look on you. It looks natural but not too 'bare.' I had exactly the same problem with not being able to pierce the seal a few weeks ago, and it really put me off wearing lashes as I then had to go buy another glue on its own and it wasn't a good one anyway! Hope your mom had a lovely birthday :)

It's a shame these weren't super comfortable, because they look so pretty and natural on you!
ReplyDeleteThe eyelashes do look nice, but it's such a shame these weren't too nice for you! Your reviews are normally very positive, so it's such a shame that these didn't work out for you :( xx

I've never used lashes - I'm always afraid I'm going to glue my eyelids shut. I love how natural they look on you.

you look so lovely in this photo!! i've never tried SHF fakes before.. are they easy to put on? because i always muck up the glue. .so i just resort to lots of mascara instead:L
ReplyDeletealso could you take a look at my blog ?:) http://soph2381.blogspot.co.uk/
Thank you! They are fairly easy to put on, took me a couple attempts on each eye. So do I, I either wait too long so the glue's dried or put them on too early and they just fall off haha! Just takes a lot of practice I think :) xx

They're pretty. I used to wear false lashes on nights out religiously and then I stopped and haven't looked back. I actually think my face looks much better without them!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely! You can't even tell you have fake lashes on! So natural :)
