#winkswelove: olivia wilde's cat eye is pure purrfection

while jennifer, angelina and lupita may have won hearts for their impeccable oscar style, we think olivia wilde should have won an award for her glamorous red carpet beauty! the actress' best accessories of the evening? a darling baby bump and classic cat eyes straight from breakfast at tiffanys. 

follow these 4 super-easy steps to recreate the look this weekend:

starting at the inner corner, lightly trace your upper lash line with inky black liquid eyeliner (we love marc jacobs' magic marc'er pen), stopping just short of the end of your natural lashes.

create a v-shaped outline for your wing, extending it outwards and up.

fill in the wing with soft strokes, intensifying the color and thickness to your liking.

finish by applying blinkbop's flirty kitty false eyelashes and—voila—major meow!

false eyelashes: the it girl

you know her, the girl you'd love to hate but simply can't. she's got joie de vivre style and a rockstar boyfriend. with places to go and people to see, her glamorous cool is an endless source of inspiration. she's the it girl.

blinkbop's #1 best-selling it girl false eyelashes are an homage to all the it girls throughout the ages--the cara delevegne's, the kate moss's, the edie sedgwick's, the alexa chung's. we were especially inspired by holly golightly, the original it girl with the eternal coquettish twinkle. 

  our 'it' girl fake eyelashes are loved by beauty editors, makeup artists and girls about town for creating a gorgeous, wide-eyed effect that looks totally natural—yet still pops in snapshots.

thanks to our signature crisscross layering, these false lashes blend seamlessly to your own fringe. what's more? they feel so light & airy on lids, you can easily wear them from morning to moonlight.

and the award for most memorable oscar dress goes to...

our girl gwyneth paltrow in powder pink ralph lauren, circa 1999--red carpet royalty, at its finest.

#winkswelove: brigitte bardot

...the original blond bombshell.

recreate brigitte's sultry, smoky eyes by dusting lids with charcoal eye shadow (we love mac's knight divine, a black with silver pearl) from your lash line to crease. use an inky, long-wearing gel liner, such as bobbi brown's, to trace upper and lower lashes. apply blinkbop's sophisticate false eyelashes to enhance your eyes and dial up the sex-factor.

blinkbop basics: how to apply individual fake eyelashes

while they may take a little more time to apply, individual fake eyelashes are a makeup artist’s secret weapon for creating gorgeous, insanely natural-looking fringe. place them along your upper (or lower) lash line to add a touch of oomph exactly where you want it—whether it’s just a little or a whole lot. here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply blinkbop's new individualist individual fake lashes like a pro…

step 1: prepare lashes for lift-off... curl your natural lashes to give them some bend, followed by one pre-coat of mascara. this will help your real lashes blend seamlessly with your individual falsies.

step 2: grab & glue squeeze eyelash glue onto the back of your hand and use as a glue palette. using the pointed end of mehaz's double-sided eyelash applicator, grab one lash cluster from your set of falsies and lightly dip the end into a dot of glue.

step 3: apply individual fake lashes starting at the outer corners, apply individual falsies as close to your natural lash line as possible. allow it to dry for a few seconds, then continue to fill in as many lashes as you need.

step 4: put on the finishing touches after the glue dries and sets, brush lashes with a wand’s worth of mascara to ensure all the false and natural lashes blend beautifully without poking out. for the most natural look… apply a few sparingly to fill sparse areas between lashes.

for extra dramatic appeal… intensify by applying dense clusters along your lash line.

for a coquettish cat eye… add a couple clusters to outer corners.

for a doe-eyed effect… apply at the center of your upper lashes.

false eyelashes: rebecca minkoff's spring beauty

goodbye, polar vortex… hello spring!

we hope the worst of winter '14 is finally behind us for many reasons, but especially because we can’t wait to rock rebecca minkoff’s super cool spring threads. to match the chic, embroidery-heavy pieces in the collection, hair was pulled back into ethereal milkmaid braids; makeup featured warm navajo neutrals—think soft, smoky brown eyes, fresh pink lips and a warm complexion.

to recreate the natural eyes at home, wash lids with a neutral taupe eye shadow, accentuating your crease in a deeper shade. use a creamy brown eye liner to trace your upper and lower lashes, smudging it out with your fingers or a brush before color sets. give lashes a curl and a quick coat of mascara, then finish by applying blinkbop’s light natural falsies. our whisper-thin natural false lashes are designed with delicate crisscross layering, lending a touch of fluff & fullness that looks 100% real.
