Guest Beauty Blogger Wednesdays - Makeup For Life on False Lashes

Filed under: Cosmetics, Beauty Tips

With the gazillion different kinds of false lashes you see on the market nowadays, it is no surprise that you feel lost.

But fear not, our Guest Beauty Blogger Makeup For Life is to the rescue! Click through her gallery for the skinny on every type of false lash - from single to natural looking to all out crazy!

Cat Lincoln

Cat Lincoln is a writer and photographer, and lives in San Francisco with her husband. She is theoretically very private, but in practice will reveal almost anything if it will get a laugh.

Although now firmly a West Coast resident, Cat continues to be influenced by the strict fashion rules of her Boston roots. That means she wears white year round, but has the good grace to lie about it to her grandmother.

Celebrities make frequent appearances in her pieces, and Cat is able to expound at length on the (huge!) difference between People and Us Weekly to anyone who will listen. She can talk about hair for hours. Also, she is a Gemini, and yes, it matters.

Completely addicted to products and in the habit of telling strangers on the bus about her latest find, Cat is equally at home cruising Sephora, haunting the Walgreens makeup aisle or scoring extra samples from Neiman Marcus Cosmetic Professionals.

Cat loves a bargain, junior mints at the movies and wearing false eyelashes with heavy black eyeliner. A former corporate marketing executive, she is thrilled to be writing non-fiction.

You can get more Cat at:
  • Green Daily, where she covers a surprising quantity of (eco-friendly) nudity
  • 40 Whatever, age is just a number
  • Holidash, your one stop site for all things holiday related
  • UpTake, all about hotels
  • TONIC News, where she writes a regular column celebrating positive efforts to make the world a better place

False lashes are easier than you think - Tip of the day!

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style Tip of the Day, Beauty Tips

The holidays are coming. A time filled with good food, fun, and parties galore. Most of us girls love dressing up but if you really want to give your holiday look some oomph, try false lashes. They are the perfect accomplice to a fire engine red lip, pared down nude palette, or even smokey eyes.

Crazy cravings: Lashes To Die For night time eyelash conditioning treatment

Filed under: Cosmetics


Even though we know we'd use this twice, maybe three times and then get tired of painting each individual lash...and even though we know it probably doesn't work...

...the promise of luxurious thick lashes is almost enough to convince us to fork over $125 for Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die For Night Time Eyelash Conditioning Treatment.

Yes. This tube of eyelash conditioner costs $125. And it doesn't even help crows feet!

It does supposedly help with "length, thickness and fullness," which could be both misconstrued and considered extremely tempting.

We'll spend a pretty penny on eye creams and moisturizers, but sadly this is a beauty product too far. It's the falsies for us...false eyelashes. What did you think we meant? Sheesh!

Pricey lash conditioner: Cool or crazy?

Would you dye your eyelashes?

Filed under: Cosmetics


We looove long, dark, sexy eyelashes. Love them, love them, love them. We have no qualms about layering on the mascara, or even using false lashes should the occasion call for it. In fact, if we had the funds, we would probably be devotees of eyelash extensions. However, when we read about dying our eyelashes, we were a little surprised.

Gwen Stefani, style inspiration

Filed under: Style in the News, Hair Care, Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style


Recently our sister site Stylelist did a beauty evolution slideshow of Gwen Stefani. She had a lot of kooky looks, that Gwen. Blue hair, bindis, and that red, red lipstick. Something about that story stayed on our minds, and we finally figured it out.

Gwen owned every single look, no matter how off the wall or potentially unflattering. True, some worked better than others, but she always seemed comfortable with herself and really excited about her style. And because of that she looked terrific all the time.

We could all benefit by taking a page out of Gwen's book, and just go for it once in a while.

Make Up For Ever's lashbar

Filed under: Cosmetics

make up for ever lashbarYesterday I took a breather in Sephora -- I mean really where else can you find inner peace? I found myself in Make Up For Ever's section of the store, which is a section I am not too familiar with. What I found was a bevy of bright eye shadows, glitters, and ridiculously stylish fake eyelashes -- I was in heaven.

I am not a fake eyelash type of girl at all. I have really long eyelashes (don't hate), in fact once when I was at MAC I bought a pair of fakes and my lashes were longer than the ones I bought -- true story. Anyhow, the lashes from Make Up For Ever are amazing, even a girl like me can appreciate these.

The lashes are over the top (to say the least) and super-affordable (about $14 a set). Many of the lashes are made with funky feathers or are so long they surpass your eyebrows. These lashes aren't for daytime use, unless you want to look like a complete fool. I think these hot pieces of beauty are best suited for hitting town and painting it red.

Rest in Peace, Shu Uemera (1928-2007)

shu uemura tokyo lash bar, the artist, the curler
It's been a few weeks now that the news has been out, but we haven't gotten around to mentioning it here on Styledash until now. Shu Uemura, legendary makeup artist, passed away from acute pneumonia on December 29 in his home in Tokyo. Many of us know the name "Shu Uemura" either because we are die-hard fans of the miracle-working eyelash curler, or more recently for the launch of the Tokyo Lash Bar, a line of false eyelashes that make Tammy Faye look bare-faced. However, Shu Uemura is more than just eyelashes.

Uemura's life and career had always been underscored by a defiance of convention. He was the only man in his Tokyo Beauty School, then began his career as a makeup artist in Hollywood with an incredible transformation of Shirley Maclaine's Caucasian face to that of a Japanese geisha. From there, Uemura went on to become one of the most favored makeup artists in Hollywood.

We are sad that Mr Uemura has passed on, but we will most certainly remember his influence in Beauty every time we use a facial cleanser that cleans our faces better than soap because it has oil in it, curl our eyelashes, or put on a dramatic pair of false eyelashes.

Rest in peace, Shu Uemura.
