Eyelash style for different eye shapes

When shopping for lashesonline try not to get overwhelmed with the amount of different styles on offer. The reason for different lash styles is obvious, there are quite a variety of different eye shapes. Start with matching up your eye shape with the chart below then reading what style of  lash will suit your eye shape.

For every eye shape there is a lash style to suit and compliment the eye at Blink In Faux Mink. Some females and males are lucky enough to pull off any style, while others have a specific style we recommend you shop.

ALMOND / AVERAGE EYES: Any lash style will suit you, from natural/minimum (BIFM Human hair lash) to thick and juicy (BIFM New York or London lashes)

WIDE SET EYES: Draw your eyes closer together with a full inner lash such as BIFM Faux Mink lash New York 39 or New York 15

CLOSE SET EYES: to draw your eyes wider apart use lash styles that start off shorter on the inner of the eye and wing out on the outer eye such as New York 22 and London 10

ROUND / PROMINENT EYES: to make eyes appear more almond go for a full  lash style to draw eye out such as BIFM  London 13

DEEP SET EYES: to open your eye choose a full lash such as BIFM London 10 or a dolly lash such as BIFM London03

HOODED / MONOLID EYES: to give yourself a more open eye do not use anything to heavy- use minimal lashes such as the BIFM Human Hair range

DOWN TURN / DROOPY: Place your outer lash a little higher to give the look of an eye turning up (not down), use lashes that wing out such as BIFM London10 or BIFM London19

Blink In Faux Mink Online shop & Kryolan HD Primer

With so many cosmetics out there, where do you start with finding something that 1) Does what it says it will do and 2) Does not cost the earth? I started my journey with trialing products from Blink In Faux Mink Online shop. I chose BIFM as they have a selection of lovely lashes in different materials which are all Cruelty Free, they also sell an iconic brand called Kryolan Makeup which, in “the industry” is a makeup used by professional makeup artists in television and theatre. The website is easy to navigate around and has great product information! My package arrived in a couple of days so I invited some friends around to trial the products with me. All is excited! We started with the Kryolan HD Primer. Now, I’ve used a few primers in my life, some left me feeling like why did I bother putting this on today...behold!! This primer feels silky smooth, you can already feel and see the layer sitting on top of your skin after you apply, this is what we want to see so we know the foundation is going to sit on top of the silicon base beauty. You will also notice fine lines are a little smoother. 

There was a range of foundations to choose from heavy down to medium/natural. I ordered the Kryolan Dual Finish powder and applied with a powder brush, I started with a small dust over my face then applied another layer over eyelids, nose and under the eyes. You can also contour with the Kryolan Dual Finish if you have other colours (there is a 6 pack of this product also which would be perfect for contouring and as a foundation). This powder does not cake and left me looking very very natural with perfect skin! Tick...actually double tick for these 2! The last product we trialled today was the Kryolan Skinliner- I used this in my brows to give a natural hair stroke look, this skinliner is unbelievable!! Not only is it smudge proof and waterproof, the brows looked natural and full. This is now my favourite product in the world! I also applied to my upper eyelid lash line, it was so smooth and very easy to draw a beautiful straight (not wonky as we see on some) line! We recommend the products used at Blink In Faux Mink. This is a trusted Australian Company- to see their range go to www.blinkinfauxmink.com.au

The History of the Fake Eyelash.

The fake eyelash was first documented as far back as the Roman Empire. However it wasn't until 1911 that the idea of the artificial lash was first deemed something worthy of marketing and the first patent was submitted for the artificial lash. By the mid 1900’s fake lashes were being promoted in top New York salons. It wasn't long after, that Hollywood took note of this fashion ‘must’ and the Hollywood director. D. W. Griffith who was filming Intolerance  requested his leading star Seena Owen wear a set! Unfortunately the application and materials used in the 1900’s were not like today and the actress had a reaction to the glue. It was noted in her memoirs that ‘One morning she arrived at the studio with her eyes swollen nearly shut’.

 The fake eyelash still had a long way to go, and in the 1920’s people were still somewhat skeptical of the fake eyelash, this was not the case for the more fashion conscious!

The 1930’s changed everything, with Vogue giving the fake lash its official stamp of approval.

The 1940’s and 1950’ was a game changer and Hollywood starlets like Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth loved wearing Fake Lashes, especially in photo shoots . This would make the eyes look larger and more eye catching.

As the years progressed,the quality of both the glues and lash materials improved.

The Mink lash took hold and not until recently we see the Faux mink range becoming more and more popular  due to awareness of animal cruelty. Blink In Faux mink are proud to supply the best quality lash line with ALL products being cruelty free - Buy your set of lashes today

You can blend it out with a touch of oil for a duey look if that’s the look your going for or mix it with the just as famous Kryolan TV Paintstick for a full coverage finish.
