Flash Your Lash

Green, red, tangerine, gold, bronze, purple...these are your new coloured mascaras. Add to them a variety of gorgeous lashes, deft strokes and oodles of oomph. We show you how.

Use layers with different shades and let the world go green with envy, as you glam up your eyes. GOLDEN HAZE That’s the colour of restraint, or is it not, anymore? Try a dual effect, let black and golden mascara play hide and seek on a luscious pair of lashes. RED HOT Never ever dreamt of putting red on your eyelashes? Do it now, and enhance it further with a sassy red eyeliner on the upper eyelid for maximum impact. BLUE THE HUE A bit powdery, a bit bright, this blue is just right, if you want to experiment. Put multiple layers, to get a strong colour and line it with another dose of a thick eyeliner for maximum impact. WHITE NOW The tip here is to choose a modest pair of false lashes, or stick to your natural ones. Apply a thin coat and neat it up with a white crayon eyeliner. BRONZE AGE Bronzers have taken a twist and are waiting to cast a spell on your eyes. The trick though is to go minimal. Just one layer and nothing else, nothing more.
