Lash Hack: Cheap Falsies to Wispy “Mink” Lashes

By | Eyelashes, Prép Beauty Parlour

The internet is always coming out with fun and sometimes quirky makeup trends! Like the silisponge, and chome nails! 

Recently there was a ‘makeup hack’ that surfaced on Facebook where a user brushed her synthetic lashes and transformed them into beautiful ‘mink like’ wispy lashes!

Makeup hack cheap lashes to mink | Prép Beauty Parlour

The video makeup artist Makeup artist Paloma Garcia shared had over 11 million views!

With all this excitement, we decided to try this little hack out to see if it really works! 

First, we picked a pair of falsies, we tried a few pairs, the best outcome were the ones that look a little more dramatic with either clumps or criss-cross patterns. The natural sets didn’t change much after the brushing. 

Second, we brushed the lashes side to side with a spoolie (you can also use a clean mascara wand or a brow spoolie), and then brushed them from top to bottom every so often to straighten the lashes out.

Here are our results!

So what did you think? Let us know your comments below and if you tried this hack, send us your photos to info@prepbeautyparlour.com, we would love to see all the variations with different lashes!

Miku ♡ Hair & Make Up Artist

 

As one of Prép Beauty Parlour’s newest members, Miku, (yes! You read that correct! Miku, not Mika who we all know and love!) is one of Prép’s most promising artists! Not only is Miku a fabulous make- up artist, but is a hair stylist and dresser as well! She is able to do blow-outs, cuts, and highly skilled in prom/grad hair, as well as intricate wedding up-dos. Before her arrival in Vancouver early Spring 2017, Miku worked at Chiba Salon in Tokyo as the salon manager. Miku is able to do a variety of make up looks, from natural and cute, to glamorous, red- carpet ready looks! Miku says her favourite events to do are party makeup, photoshoots, and of course, Prép’s favourite as well- weddings! Make- up and hair is not Miku’s only area of expertise! She also does pedicures at Prép and loves to help with large spa parties! She has worked alongside Mika with many bloggers and influencers such as Instagram Influencer Chailee Son, and Blanca Blandon from Vancouver’s ‘Populist’.

Besides loving to do hair and makeup, Miku spends her free time watching movies- sometimes back to back- at the theatre and has a guilty pleasure of loving all unhealthy foods! (Though the team at Prép oppose to this as a problem and continue to open their hands to all of Miku’s goodies!)

To book with Miku, give us a call or text at 604-764-6452, or email us at info@prepbeautyparlour.com. We look forward to hearing and seeing you!

Youngblood Luxury Cosmetics | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | Prép Beauty Parlour

Pauline’s Story:
Pauline Youngblood was a paramedical aesthetician to dermatologists and plastic surgeons, since her time as a medical aesthetician she founded Youngblood Cosmetics in 1996 and is president of the company.

“The concept of mineral makeup was great, but the quality was missing,”  “The colors weren’t realistic; they were too pink or orange, and they looked artificial.” Pauline says.

Pauline worked with chemists to create a makeup line that would cover raw, inflamed or discolored skin, while allowing it to breathe and heal. More than 15 years later, Pauline’s Natural Mineral Foundation is the flagship product, and Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics is now a complete line, offering dozens of products in a comprehensive palette of shades with realistic skin tones and beautiful, natural finishes. Youngblood continues to create top-quality products that are innovative in both formulation and packaging.

Why Mineral Makeup?
A mineral is an inorganic solid substance that occurs naturally in rocks and in the ground.When used in cosmetics, these micronized crystals reflect light to help smooth the appearance of fine lines and blemishes. Did you know mineral makeup does not support growth of bacteria or micorobes and provides natural sun protection?

Ingredients:

Although many mineral lines claim to be “jet-milled” or “triple-milled,” not all milling processes achieve superior results and, oftentimes, result in potentially dangerous ultra-fine particles known as nanoparticles. Youngblood does not use nanoparticles in its formulas.

Prép Beauty Parlour carries Youngblood’s famous foundations in liquid & powder, ultimate concealers, lipstick/ lipgloss and of course their contour palette.
