Hi, I love the fake eyelashes and I had bought a few pairs, but the problem is I am unable to stick it myself. Any tips of wearing it easily at home myself?

Denize

hi Denize, sorry I was away *achoo* Feeling a lil??? sicky here from the weather.

I love Shu Uemura???s adhesive glue; it???s whitish in colour but once it dries on, it turns transparent and it isn???t messy at all.

What I do is, leave a little trail of the glue along the false lash line, give it a gentle blow and then stick as close as you can to your lash line. If you have knobbly hands, use a tweezer.

Then, press one end to the other end and hold for 30 secs. Voila! You???re flutter-ready. It takes practise and you???ll get the hang out of it =) G???luck!

Here’s another tip: While everyone can wear shimmer, older women should be careful to not overdo it as shimmer actually highlight fine lines around the eyes. So, if you have crow’s feet, you may want to avoid metallic makeup. You can get away with shimmer powder at the center of your lips, regardless of your age.

Younger women in their twenties and early thirties can simply get away with shimmery makeup. Pick the most vibrant of colours like, metallic makeup, as you can go all out with it.

One trend is the ethereal look where shimmer powder is used all over the face, to give a seemingly lit, glowing sheen. That look is absolutely apt for a party if you like the spotlight on you.

Alternatively, the smoky eye look using a bright metallic colour is very in right now. Choose a metallic eyeshadow colour like gold or silver. But first, line your eyes with an eyeliner and gently smudge the line. Then, apply the eyeshadow over the line. Keep lips matte or choose a light peach shade lip colour. If you decide to go glimmer with your lips, try using a shimmery lipgloss over your favourite lip shade. And remember the rule: go easy with your eyes since your lips are shiny.

Here are some must-haves you can use to achieve your ultimate party look.

Ettusais Aquatic Shimmer Gloss, RM61

Givenchy Prisme Again! Shimmer’Eyes in 44 Precious Shimmer, Price Unavailable

M.A.C Mineralize Eye Shadow in Danger Zone, RM70

Have fun shopping at the Apple store.

The vicinity outside the boutique was transformed into a red carpet runway, with rows of chairs dotting the area for media and special guests to watch the fashion show. Guests feasted on canap??s like tomato salsa on buschetta, satay chicken skewers and sushi rolls washed down with a choice of champagne, wine or sodas when emcee Sarah Lian took to the microphone decked in bebe ??? a clingy violet mini dress and strappy gold stilettos. Models then strutted down the catwalk in various bebe outfits that embodied what the label is known for ??? sensual, body-concious cuts in the latest trends. Hunky male models livened up the show unexpectedly when they showed up shirtless clad in just jeans!

The combination of a red ruffled top and black pencil skirt brought the ruffle trend to another level. Paired with the gold sandals, this is a look suited to anyone looking to dance the night away (doesn???t it remind you of hot flamenco dancers?). If you have plenty of curves and a tiny waist, this is a great look for you as it will enhance that waist all the more and make you look very curvy.

No one can get enough of strapless party dresses as they are so versatile. If you can wear this with a blazer thrown over it, you instantly have a smart, office look, and when taken off, of course you???ll be ready for a night out with the girls. Since this piece is clingy, slim figures will rejoice in looking fuller, and if you have great shoulders, this is the dress for you too ??? just make sure that the skirt isn???t too clingy that it shows off hips (if you are conscious of this part).

bebe also has very party-worthy tops like this rusty gold tunic with beading at the neckline. It???s great for those who don???t want to show too much skin, but who still want to look sensual. It???s great with fitting pants, or if it???s a little long for you, leggings. The top can also be worn casually when paired with a pair of white or denim shorts and some gold sandals.

This is the dress to don if you have been hardworking at the gym and want to show the results, or if you have all the confidence in the world (and a great body corset underneath). Simply cut but very, very effective with your highest pair of heels and glitzy earrings, everyone will be looking at you twice if you are wearing this violet number. It???s shorter than the dress Sarah wore, and less forgiving.

The models also paraded bebe???s casual pieces including jeans, dresses, more ethnic, flowing tops and maxi dresses that can be worn for day or night. Whichever item of clothing you purchase from bebe, you know for sure that not only are their styles attention-grabbing, you also know that they design for the epitome of the confident woman.
