Bat them lashes baby!
First thing's first, when trying out new and different things in the makeup world, you have to remember what it comes down to: it's just makeup! You can put it on and take it off. That's the beauty of it. So don't fear doing things you haven't done before, practice my dear :)

Here are some of the main points to applying false lashes but to get the full scoop and to become an expert ---> WATCH THE VIDEO! The Easiest Way to Apply False Lashes


1. WRAP your falsies around a cylindrical object (pencil, eye liner, etc) to help it become more curved
2. CURL your lashes...but don't go crazy! A slight curve will help the lash sit on top
3. Apply a THIN layer of glue
4. Start with the OUTER corner of your eyelid first. It'll look odd if you align the inner corner first.
5. SQUEEZE the fake lash and your real lash together throughout
6. Apply a thin layer of MASCARA to make them look seamless. You can apply more but you may not be able to reuse the lash if you cannot remove the mascara.
7. Apply EYELINER to the top lash to cover up any glue that may be showing
8. Bat them lashes and make all the boys HOLLA!

Spring Lookbook 2017

CLICK THE LINK TO WATCH THE VIDEO :) Spring Lookbook 2017

I have a secret. One that is so big, it might break the beauty code...

I love fashion more than makeup!!! **Gasp**

I got my style and passion for fashion from my Mommy. Yes, I still say Mommy and I'm 23. Oh and I still sleep with my giant stuffed Dalmation Pongo while we're at it. Moving on.

Believe me, I'm obsessed with makeup and am guaranteed to leave any beauty store with my arms filled with colorful swatches but honey, there is just something about fashion and style that speaks to me on a whole new level.

I present to you my fellow fashionistas my Spring Lookbook 2017. I dress to my mood so you'll see me in several different looks. It'll give you more of an idea of my style and hopefully inspire you to create a look of your own! (TAG ME in your pics please! @karinamdevine).

PS I shop at many different places and also coordinate pieces that are already in my closet so you may not be able to find the exact same look but I've linked pieces that are pretty darn close. That's why they call it fashion inspiration right!? :)

Kylie Jenner Inspired Spring Makeup Look

CLICK LINK TO WATCH VIDEO :) Kylie Jenner Inspired Spring Makeup Look

All hail King Kylie! Jk, but for realz, can we ignore her stunning beauty and the fact she's only 19 and KILLIN' the makeup scene!?

I don't know about y'all but I'm inspired (and no, it's not because I'm a millennial). She has her own makeup company and she and her family have established so many trends in the makeup world that are here to STAY. (contour/highlight/bronzing).

Pink and black are my favorite colors. So yes, when I saw this look my heart stopped. It's so light and fresh - perfect for spring. And as you can see, despite my tanning efforts, this look will look good on any skin tone. Because, of the lighter and brighter colors, this look is also perfect to make you look more awake.

What types of looks will you be rocking this spring? I'd love to see your recreations or inspired looks! TAG ME @karinamdevine

PS If you want to learn a lot of eyeshadow 101 techniques, this video is for you :)

Love y'all!
XOXO,
Karina
