There is nothing—and I mean nothing—more I love in the makeup world than having false eyelashes professionally applied. Whether it’s a strip lash or some wispies, they make my eyes pop and elevate the glam in a way that mascara just, well, can’t. Or so I thought.
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to sit down with celebrity makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell to learn a few tips and tricks for holiday glam. We covered a ton of ground: how to prevent brows from getting flaky, the best new foundation on the market (it’s Natasha Denona, FYI), and what you need to create a glossy eye (it involves a little KJH Brand Hyper Shine Lite). But my favorite takeaway is a little something that Sewell calls “ombré lashes,” which is essentially the world’s best falsies dupe.
