What annoys me about this product is the marketing. This model is clearly wearing mega false lashes. Does Maybelline really think women are that dumb?

I didn't see that photo until now, when I was looking for a link to the Maybelline page. I'd heard some good buzz about this mascara, and even Nigella Lawson loves it:

[T]here's a sort of game I play with a girlfriend of mine, and we each try and trump each other with a better mascara. I was very smug about Max Factor Masterpiece, and she countered with Estee Lauder Turbolash. I thought I'd got her with L'Oreal Telescopic but she bounced back and bounced higher with her latest offering: I have to say I have yet to find a better mascara on the market than Maybelline's The Colossal Volum' Express. It delivers what its slightly comical name is driving at, and it doesn't clump.

Indeed, this product nails separation, which is hugely important to me. My lashes are naturally long (which I had no hand in), so lengthening isn't important for me. But this is a very neat formula; the anti-Great Lash, I suppose. I didn't wear it on my lower lashes - I almost always leave them bare, for reasons of neatness - but loved the effect on my upper lashes.

New Creative Makeup Ideas

If you feel lack of self-confidence when it comes to how to apply eye make then you need some easy to follow guide that will teach you to put on eye make up without any hassle. Of course, you will be an expert in no time, but it is not enough. Fashion is so changeable that you need to take an active interest in modern tendencies to keep up with the fashions and create your own make up ideas. It is not an easy way, furthermore it is well known fashion is changeable but style is constant.

When you find your own advantageous make up style, you’ll need just some creativity to make it more multifarious and corresponding to fashion make up ideas novelties of the season. Let’s turn to some makeup ideas as creative so for all the time:

Eyeliner

You may use eyeliner is in liquid or pencil form and you should choose the one that is easiest for you to manage and, and not least, to wash away. A good eye makeup is quite tough but you should always be able to wash it us without stretching and traumatizing eyes sensitive skin.

Today the eye makeup idea where eyeliner is applied to only have the lid is not popular. Stylists say that lining only the outside half of the eye makes your eyes look smaller.

Another of the eye makeup ideas known as cat eyes it appropriate for all eyes forms. Try to extend your eyeliner upwards outside the corner of your eye. Someone says it gives them a very harsh look but it is a matter of taste.

Eye Shadow

The first secret of beautiful eye makeup is a beautiful makeup color. You should also match colors complement each other. Medium color is traditionally used for the lower lid, with a lighter color for highlighting.

Have you ever thought that cream eye shadows are one of the best eye makeup beauty aids? Their colors are deep as against of powder shadow. You’d better apply your eye shadow by sweeping your brush across your eye lid making color more deep. Don’t use eye shadow the same color of your eyes. There is a possibility your eyes disappear instead of accenting of their beauty.

Mascara

Mascara is one of the most commonly used eye make ups. It can be used alone without eye liners or shadow and is quite able to accent your eyes. Start applying from the base of your eye lash line and go on out to the tip. Mascara should better be applied to both the upper and lower lashes.

What about powder, ruddy and lipstick, powder and ruddy main aim to make your face color steadier and their applying technique is quite humdrum. Lipstick choice depends on the fashion tendencies and your own lips form.
