KEEPING IT REAL WITH FALSE EYELASHES

Fuller, thicker and longer eyelashes accentuate the eyes with their hint of additional drama to the well-made eyeshadow and on fleek eyeliner. However, not everyone is blessed with long, thick lashes. To enhance those lovely flutters, aside from swiping a coat or two of mascara, one can give False Lashes a shot.

False lashes are believed to be invented by D.W. Griffith, an American film director. In one of his films in 1916, he wanted the one of the film’s actresses to have longer eyelashes.
