How can I have that perfect eyelash look?

I’ve always wondered what made celebrities’ eyes look so big. Obviously they get their make-up done by professionals and that’s why they look so stunning all the time. I’ve also noticed models with those perfect eyelashes.  You would think that they all use fake eyelashes or get lash implants. But you can do it yourself, too.

Short eyelashes –
If you have trouble showing your eyelashes because they are too short, you want to use a thin line of eyeliner. If it is too thick, you will only make it obvious that you have no eyelashes. You can also apply it only halfway on the bottom of your eye, to bring a better focus on your eye.
Then put on two layers of mascara. After the mascara is dry, curl your lashes for one minute on each eye, put on one more layer of mascara and you’re done.

Medium eyelashes –
Sometimes people with medium eyelashes don’t realize what they can do to make them look a lot bigger.
Start out with a thin line and go big on the outside corner of the eye. This way it will give the illusion that the eyelashes on the corner are longer. Use three layers of mascara also, and wait one minute on each eye as told for the short eyelashes. Do not apply on the bottom. It will look like you have to much. It is always good to look as natural as possible.

Long  eyelashes –
You already have them long, so you just need the right look. Put eyeliner only halfway on the top this time and all the way on the bottom. Curl eyelash before applying the mascara, then give it two layers and you’re ready to go out.

We now have something that will keep away all those losers out there. Not more saying, “No” nicely or using that pepper spray that does not look good hanging from your purse.

I was wondering in the Internet looking at fashion and I found myself admiring these shoes that I would totally wear. Talk about getting respect.

I love heels, and these are my favorite on this Web site. Of course, I don’t know how safe they can be. You don’t want to trip while wearing these. These are some awesomely killer shoes.

I think socks say a lot about a person. You can look pretty “fly” on the outside, but wait until  you take off your shoes.
Socks do matter. When you wear dark or dressy clothes, white socks do not go well. You might think you’ve got it all figured out with your outfit. Then you sit down, your pants go up, and you can see those cloud white socks. It just make me want to laugh — and I think, “I guess people don’t have style after all.”

Case in point:

Why does this always seem to happen: You go out wearing the ugliest socks you have, but you think it doesn’t matter; your clothes look cool anyway, right? But then it seems you always get invited to a house where they take off their shoes inside. You know, those people who have that little rack of some sort at the very entrance. Oh, and that person just so happens to be the person you like.

Why is it that so many people don’t give much thought to what they wear underneath?  We will buy the coolest shoes, but not make the time to at least buy the cheapest bag of, oh, six pairs of normal socks.

Here are some socks spotted around Westminster High School:
