FALSE LASHES EXTREME BLACK
Midnight meets its match with False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara. Intensely inky, this lightweight, innovative mousse-like formula saturates lashes in a carbon-black pigment that promises the deepest, darkest, richest look imaginable with full long-lasting coverage. Each stroke of the unique double-lush brush creates vixen volume and lift by filling in sparse lashes, magnifying and multiplying magnificently. Long-wearing polymers quickly coat from root to tip, keeping lashes supple and flexible – never brittle. Captivating curl and divine density with a velvety-fabulous finish…what more could your lashes ask for?
M·A·C False Lashes Extreme Black Available October 6, 2011 in the permanent collection

Ask Sandy! Under Eye Dark Circles
September 22, 11
QUESTION:
Hi Sandy, What product would you recommend to hide under eye dark circles, I have a lot of visible blue veins – and a very similar skin tone shade as you? Please help – Thanks xoxo Natasha!
ANSWER:
Hey Natasha!
Thanks for your email! Have you tried the Portfolio Concealer in Beige from Lise Watier ($30) – it’s awesome!
Start by mixing together the Beige Peche & the Beige Rose on the back of your hand – and apply a light amount under your eye – all the way up to the lash line – to help hide blue veins and dark circles (STEP ONE). Followed by a light layer of Beige Beige to conceal the whole area (STEP TWO).
I hope that helps! And, don’t forget to Wake.up & Make.up!
