Open wide and give your eye lashes a boost | Eva Wiseman

It is the season of 60s-style lashes, heavily mascara-ed and tweaked into sharp little peaks, for understated glamour. At Givenchy, Pat McGrath made eyelashes the focus of the face, creating a look of wide-eyed wonder. It couldn’t be easier to experiment yourself. Try repositioning the wand to concentrate product on the ends, and make sure you’re not overloading the brush for maximum control. It’s time to go on the lash.
