Yesterday my good friend dropped by my apartment in the middle of the morning. She was casually dressed down to the bone, sporting her fedora, heavy peacoat trench-styled, jacket, Dr Martens, matched against her normal everyday bright smile. But I couldn’t help but to zoom in on her eyes. See, my dear friend has a thing for false eyelashes. She claims that wearing false eyelashes is just as addictive as applying layers of lip gloss. Naturally I had to process the thought of even wearing false eyelashes. Not only do I have bad habit of plucking my natural eye lashes away, but I began to wonder if I’d end up having the same problem if I gave this little trend a try. In the middle of the afternoon I made my way to the local drug store to see what options were available. It was pretty basic as far as the selections go – so I proceeded to the nearest exit. On my way home, I continued to think about the theory of sporting eyelashes….and thought about the looks of dramatic styles that I’ve seen over many months back. Amber Rose took on feather styled lashes, while Karl Lagerfeld took sequin lashes to the runway for Chanel’s fall ’09 ready-to-wear collection. Automatically Shu Uemura came to mind. Not only do they have a serious collection of premium lashes on hand at select retail outlets. But there are so many interesting options to choose from that would fit well from season to season. Crystals, beads, high fusions colorways….you name it Shu Uemura has it. Check out some of my favorite dramatic false eye lashes picks after the jump.
