The biggest question pertaining to your baby blues (or foxy browns) is whether you are planning to purchase faux lashes to add a little 'oomph' to your look. Falsies can create a dramatic look without looking like Cruella Deville. There are even gentler choices such as 'cluster lashes' which are little grouped clumps of falsies containing two to three fake lashes that you can apply to the outer corner of your lash line to add a bit of a spark. These types of lashes give a hint of lift and thickness to those who do not favor a full length of falsies. Your brows are the liners and emphasizing points that crown your peepers so you may want to schedule a waxing appointment a week in advance in planning for your prom. Be cautious when planning your brow waxing due to the possible irritations that may arise; you must leave a few days of time available for 'healing' after the appointment since there may be some reddening of brow area (you know you don't want to show at prom with beautiful everything else and red, blistered eyes). Once you've decided on your appointment with the salon brow specialist and also chosen whether to go with real or faux lashes, and then you to move onto the colors, glosses, shimmers, and design portion of the lash deco.
