Elisabeth TNT gives up eyelash extensions and revamps her holiday beauty look.

Mylash recommended by American Vogue
When the dernier cry at the Vogue offices last year was a pair of long, fluttery lashes, I promptly made a visit to i-Plaza, an unassuming downtown salon where the meticulous Yoshi worked his magic. An hour later, I opened my eyes to the Jessica Rabbit gaze of my dreams. I was instantly addicted. But intervention came by way of an allergic reaction to the lash glue after a top-up in Paris during Fashion Week turned my eyes red, itchy, and swollen. Sue Marsh, who runs a tiny lash atelier back home in London, recommended an “eyelash lift”— an increasingly popular alternative to extensions— to take the edge off. It worked.
The gentle perming gel-and-tint treatment that bends hairs at the root, pushing them up rather than down, gave me eye-opening lashes for weeks— no maintenance necessary. The best part? They were all mine. With added help from treatment serums, like the polypeptide-packed NeuLash to minimize breakage and the medical-grade Mylash to promote growth, a soft, defined effect soon replaced what was once brittle and artificial. My lids will never be Yoshi- level luscious again. But I’m OK with that— especially after a spring runway season that has left me wanting mlnimal-meets-glamorous makeup rather than anything over the top, especially for the holidays. Healthy, natural-looking lashes are in— and they happen to be the perfect canvas for an understated flick of festive glitter or a demure red lip.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Mylash is offering a consultations for individuals that wish to grow their eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Anyone who has heard of Latisse UK  – the revolutionary lash lengthener that’s only available on prescription will also know its incredibly hard to get a hold of outside the US. Not any more….  Down some narrow steps at the back of a make up salon on a quiet backstreet in Londons’ Knightbridge, lash expert Sue Marsh is now organising Mylash, an identical substance to Latisse with exactly the same active ingredient – bimatoprost, which works by stimulating prostaglanding receptors in hair and increasing the follicle activity – and exactly the same results.  Complete the online consultation and, if suitable, you will receive treatment in the post. Stylist tip: manufacturers say you need to apply it every day, but once you’ve established full growth (about three months), you only need to use it every three days to keep lashes lush.

THIS STUFF REALLY WORKS! I have always wanted longer, thicker lashes so when I heard about this miracle treatment I was thoroughly intrigued. I met the doctor in a chic central London salon to be walked through the treatment and what it involved.  It contains prostaglandin analogue that stimulates the eyelash follicles to grow hairs that are much longer, thicker and darker. It is simple to use and after 10 weeks I can say that I’ve had amazing results.  A must have beauty treatment and a celebrity secret. Author: Danielle Lineker MIRROR, 8TH FEBRUARY 2011

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

You may not want to know this — so shut your eyes now! — but if your hair is going grey, there’s worse to come. Your eyelashes may be starting to turn grey, too. It’s perfectly natural: the hair follicles from which they grow just give up on producing melanin, the pigment that gives them their colour, though it doesn’t usually happen before your hair is grey. And going grey isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Thanks to changing hormone levels, lashes naturally thin as we get older, too. This leaves us with less definition around the eyes and can make us look more tired. You could resort to just piling on extra mascara — but if you want something more permanent, there’s plenty you can do to counteract it. In fact, there’s a bewildering array of options to improve the way your lashes look. Here’s our pick of the treatments that can really make a difference . . .
