The secrets to getting a professional makeup look at home.
From the time you say YES until you’re headed on your honeymoon, count on false lashes and nails to be your biggest beauty BFF’s. These are every bride’s (and bridesmaid’s) wedding go-to’s, because of the way they instantly make you a standout, in person and in photos. You won’t believe what falsies can do for your eyes! From full sets to clusters, in all lengths and thicknesses, false lashes are the way to go to really make your eyes pop and instantly upgrade even your everyday makeup routine.
And if you haven’t worn ready-to-wear false nails lately, you’re in for a surprise. The design options are endless, application takes minutes, and the nails stay put.
