Every year makeup trends seem to focus on different parts of the face. For years,The Eyes Have It: Eyelashes Matter in 2016 Articles women ripped out their eyebrows, only to be told that now the bushy, natural look is back. Luckily, staying on top of trends can be easy with the right toolkit.

When it comes to makeup trends in 2016, focus is back on the lashes. While there are mascaras promising everything from lash regrowth to tripling lash size, it is false lashes gaining the most buzz. Not only are they easy to apply, but they give wearers a glamorous wow factor that is guaranteed.

False lashes are being used with a number of popular looks these days, and are perfect for every occasion.

The Dressy Look

For those times that a dressy look is required, false lashes will add just the right drama, no matter the style of dress. Mink lashes are soft, easy to apply, and add depth to lashes that no mascara can achieve. A defined lash is perfect for looks that incorporate smoky eyes, as well as for those that emphasize other areas of the face, such as heavy rouge or a dominant lip color. Balancing these elements with well-defined eyelashes makes sure that makeup looks complete.

For formal occasions, adding eyelash emphasis will create an overall royal effect. With more modern cocktail ensembles, looks can become more dressy with heavy eye makeup or lip definition. No matter the style of dress, fake eyelashes are a must for dressy occasions.

The Casual Date

It’s not just the dressy looks that incorporate false lashes, casual dates and cocktails are perfect opportunities to emphasize the eye area. In these cases, if a full set of mink lashes is too overwhelming for the rest of the look, individual eyelashes can be placed to emphasize the eye’s natural shape. Again, whether paired with dramatic eyes or just simple makeup, using fake eyelashes will accomplish far more than any mascara can.

For the ultimate come hither look that doesn’t overdo it, fake lashes add drama without taking up time, and are perfect for any date look.

Everyday Looks

Even for everyday looks, false eyelashes can be incorporated to add a bit of glamor to day-to-day life. Eyelash extension kits can be helpful to increase the drama in the eye area without overdoing it. For business clothes, if heavy eye makeup is inappropriate, defined lashes can be used with neutral colors on the lips or the eyes, pulling focus without making you look washed out. For casual daytime events, individual eyelashes will both look natural and relaxed, but still provide a polished and trendy look. Particularly when there isn’t enough time to spend applying complicated looks, fake eyelashes are perfect for any occasion during the day.

Eyelashes matter in the makeup trends of 2016, and can be perfectly tailored to fit to any look. Products like MeagenEllise’s eyelash extension kit can help anyone access today’s trends, without requiring a visit to a salon or expensive treatments.
