When Mascara Is Not Enough: Japonesque's Eyelash Collection!

Few things are as seductive as a woman or (man) batting their long lush lashes; just ask every vamp in the movie Twilight, all of whom sported Japonesque’s Eyelash Collection. Yes, there are fabulous mascaras for everyday, but there are times when you've got to go faux...a hot date, canoodling, or if you have a thirst for blood. Japonesque's lashes provide a seamless transition from flat to fabulous, and can be found in the kits of busy makeup pros like Lauren Gott (Jewel's personal MUA) and Jeffrey Paul (Freida Pinto's MUA).

Crafted by hand with high-quality synthetic fibers, the lashes are available in a variety of lengths and textures to compliment all eye shapes and sizes:

FLIRTY & FABULOUS: To achieve thick, luxurious lashes, apply the Long and Lush Lash Set. Each synthetic fiber is thicker at the roots while tapering to the tip. The final result is a voluminous, defined eye line with full, lush lashes.

WIDE AWAKE: Tired of holiday gift shopping? Get your second wind instantly by applying the eye-opening, Wide Awake Lash Set. The lashes fan out in a wide arc, maintaining fullness along the entire span of the lash line. For an extra dash of wide-awake glamour, apply the Sparkly lash version. The perfect New Year’s accessory, the sparkle of your eyes will rival the sparkle of your glass of bubbly!

COMPLETE LASH KIT: This kit contains all the tools for at-home application and voluminous variety! Includes full and partial lash sets, lash adhesive and precision application tweezers. The ultimate way to achieve to gorgeous, beautiful lashes.

TO APPLY: Before heading out and making an eye-opening first impression, first trim lashes to fit eye line.

Apply glue to lash band at the base of lash set. Position lashes just above natural lash using the Japonesque Lash Placement Tool, distinguished by a soft-touch applicator that grips false eyelashes and flawlessly follows the contour of the eyelid. Then, smooth base and hold in position until set.

TO REMOVE: Once it's time to call it a night; remove lashes easily and without fuss. Grasp outer edge of lash set and gently peel lash toward nose.
