Hourglass Lash Lacquer and FOTD

I went along to the Hourglass counter in Liberty today to take a look at their new Lash Lacquer. I also spent quite a while taking swatches of various products which I will share in the next couple of days. Lash Lacquer is a bit like a top coat for lashes. You apply over mascara. Over their Film Noir mascara for preference but it does work over other mascaras too. As the name suggests the lacquer has a shiny wet finish and it maintains this glossy appearance even when dried. It's also completely flexible and won't make you lashes feel crispy.

Personally, I think Lash Lacquer really taps in to this seasons trend for spiky, spidery lashes. As the lacquer is painted on, it does have a tendency to pull lashes together. If you're after very natural, feathery looking lashes this isn't a product for you. But for a dramatic evening look or for moments when you just want something a 'bit more', I think this would be perfect.

I had this applied to my lashes but I also had the pleasure of watching Mel use the Lash Lacquer on a beautiful lady more blessed in the lashes department than myself. She was kind enough to agree to let me take a photograph and I think you will agree that it is a very striking result. I only wish I had noted down the combination of eyeshadow duos that Mel used in this look.

This is how it looks on my (more feeble) lashes.
