False lashes are the best way to glam up

It would be great if the pictures show their dresses too. This way it'll be easy to compare how well the make up goes with the dress. This certainly would give me lots of ideas for any occasions and dresses.

Falsies are definitely a great way to go glam :) I love putting them on for special occasions!

I loved these looks!!!! I also love wearing golden shadows when I am tan. It not only brings out my eyes like crazy ( I have blue eyes) but it also accentuates my tan! I really liked that they were using the false eyelashes I just bought from Ulta. I wasn't sure if those were a good brand to get but got them anyway (hey, the price was right!!). After seeing how nice they will look once I put them on ( I haven't done that yet) made me excited for when I do try them.
