![]() In the mirror, framed by gently lush, doe-eyed filaments, my eyes carried a distinct magnetic charge that was invigorating. Kendal actually suggests applying a base of mascara as a tinted anchor for false lashes, which I did, using Kjaer Weis’s exceptional new organic formula before test-driving LoveSeen’s Iris, a delicate, eye-opening curled style. A host of new mascaras offers similar flexibility for the strip-lash-averse, from Róen’s Cake Mascara, with a uniquely fluffy brush that separates and boosts individual lashes for a gloriously full fringe, to the delicate, precise extension created by the curved wand in La Perla’s mascara, part of the lingerie brand’s debut makeup line. “There was nothing in between,” Lyons says of the impetus for LoveSeen, which creates space for lash moments that aren’t too subtle or too “vamped up.” Before she launched last year, the 52-year-old former J.Crew president and creative director rounded up a group of friends and used their lids as a blank canvas to try new combinations that embodied distinct points of view-from doll-like to earthy to edgy and punk-rock. Jenna Lyons-who is enjoying a second act as the founder of LoveSeen, a line of user-friendly and customizable lashes that allow for interchangeable looks on a range of eye shapes-prefers to use her brand’s applicator tool, which resembles an eyelash curler and helps lift the lash into position and secure it in place. While some people swear by a glue-on-skin technique, Kendal likes to line the lash itself with Velour’s Lash Adhesive before fitting it across the lid by hand. ![]() I have always dreamed of wearing big eyelashes, but I have never gotten them to stick-literally or figuratively. Getting them to adhere to us is a different story.
