LASH OUT

If you’ve got it, float it

Lush lashes were all over the spring/summer catwalks: from the extravagant 60’s eyes at Moschino to feathered, lace-print numbers at Chanel. Get the jump on next season’s eyes by preparing your lashes now.



Latisse may take three months to work, but work it does: originally developed to treat glaucoma, this drug happened to have the pleasing side effect of making lashes twice as long and thick : it’s our desert-island essential. Apply it like liquid liner every night and in time you could have a set to beat the Moschino girls.

Curlers won’t cut it on long lashes so try a chemical uplift treatment like Nouveau Beauty Group’s LVL Lashes, the modern alternative to perming. Lashes are treated with a gentle formula and lifted upwards on tiny rods; 30 minutes later you’ve got a freshly curled look that stays in place for two months. Perfect for beach holidays, it nixes the need for mascara, so your poolside make-up will stay pristine.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Image
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.

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

Image
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 . . .

The claim: One drop of MyLash applied nightly along the lashline is meant to give 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker lashes. The verdict: After clocking a barmaids full and fluttery set (of lashes!), she tells me it’s all thanks to MyLash , so I decide a road test is in order. She was onto something: it’s crazily effective. After just one application, I notice a difference the next morning. Who Magazine, November 2014. Written by: Suzanne Scott
