This winter, forgo the heavy makeup in favor of a refreshingly clean look that places all the emphasis on your eyes. Consider it the beauty equivalent of a detox: instead of eyeliner and shadow, enlist an eye brightener to whisk away dark circles and a false fringe (hey, we didn’t say it was completely low-maintenance) to doll up your lashes. Finish with a generous dusting of blush to create a healthy just-in-from-the-cold look and all eyes will be on you. Read on for the step-by-step instructions.
We’ve got the ’60s on the brain here in the office lately. Not only are many Birchbox staffers die-hard Mad Men fans (just look at graphic designer Charlie), but now we’re also hearing a lot of good things about the new shows Pan Am and The Playboy Club. Given that we adore everything about this super-chic decade (especially the fashion!), it was only natural that we flipped over this picture of Twiggy from a Gloss Daily post yesterday. Truly, it was only a matter of time before we decided to try the iconic look ourselves. Here’s our game plan:
Step 1: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. Use a small liner brush to paint a thick curved line along your crease and across your top lash line. Also use this brush to create an exaggerated spiky lower lashline.
Step 2: FAUX Estelle Lashes. Apply false lashes for oodles of volume and wide open eyes.
Step 3: Anastasia Lash Lifting Mascara. Coat lashes with mascara and direct wand through bottom lashes.
