The brush is made of solid stiff fibers that helps comb the formula through the lashes. Lashes are quickly and easily lush and dramatic looking. Plus, the waterproof formula is ideal for women that need their lashes to look great all day. Going from work, to the gym then out for drinks, over a 12 hour span, lashes continually look perfect with this beauty.

Make It Lash: Get Kardashian Lashes with Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara.

 

Everyone wants to know the secret of Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashians lashes. Could it be their Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara? I doubt it, but you never know. I was glad to hear Kim say that she was wearing Khroma Beauty on "Live with Kelly & Michael" last week! In reality, I am guessing they have lash extensions. But their name is on this new Khroma Beauty Mascara (officially called Khroma Beauty Faux Lash Look Extra Volume Mascara), and I had to give it a try to see how it worked for me.

How to Get Kardashian Lashes

 

On first look, Stroke of Midnight has the type of brush I like. It is made of very stiff rubber bristles that really help separate lashes as it applies the lengthening and thickening, very pigmented mascara.

It is infused with a mix of six natural waxes to glide on and never flake, plus very dark pigments for the ultimate in color payoff.

I find that applying two coats of Stroke of Midnight is best for me. Three coats is maybe too much. The formula didn't clump, but too much made them sort of "gloopy" looking. Like I said, the formula never flakes, nor did it smudge. It lasted all day, and removed with regular eye makeup remover. My lashes did feel a bit stiff, but that also meant that my lashes stayed curled and in place all day too.

Khroma Beauty Stroke of Midnight Mascara sells for $9.99 at ULTA. It will be available in CVS and Sears come March.

Make It Lash: False Eyelash Application Tips.

 

I have always had a problem applying false eyelashes. I am determined to learn how to this year. Hopefully with these great eyelash application tips that I just got from MAKE UP FOR EVER's Pro and Media Educator, Lijha Stewart, I will be applying like a pro in now time.

False Eyelash Application Tips

Select a Lash For Your Eye Shape
Think about your own eye shape and the space you have between your lash line and brows. This space tells you how long of a lash you can pull off.

Trim Your Lashes
Your false lash should start and stop where your natural last begins and ends.

Let Your Glue Get Tacky
After you apply glue to your lashes, wait at least 8 seconds before you attempt to apply them to your eye.

Applying
Make sure you have enough space to work in. Get close to the mirror, throw your head back so you have ample space to work. Anchor the center of the lash first, then attach the inner and outer corner.

Get Close to the Lash Line
After the lash is placed, use the back of a small brush to move the lash closer to your lash line.

MAKE UP FOR EVER has a huge selection of false lashes available at MAKE UP FOR EVER boutiques and Sephora. Whether you are looking for an everyday natural looking lash, an evening dramatic lash, or even one just for fun, MUFE has you covered.
