The holiday party season is the perfect excuse to wear false lashes for your holiday glam makeup look. I’ve sampled a bevy of drugstore and high-end false lashes but nothing comes close to Esqido mink lashes, known for their genuine mink fur that can be worn up to 30 times. Their lashes are so luxe and I never have any problems or snafus when wearing them!

For this look, I wanted the focus to be on my eyes. I’m still loving my NARS Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Phoebe, which can be applied wet or dry. During the day, I prefer separated and defined lashes and at night, I like to kick it up a notch using Lancôme Grandiose Mascara. The Swan Neck Wand proves for an easy application to lengthen, lift and volumizes lashes. Now it’s time for falsies! If you’re wearing a brand new pair of Esqido mink lashes, make sure you measure the length of the false lash so it fits your eye shape. If it’s too long, cut the outer edge with a pair of scissors. Check out my simple step-by-step tutorial on how to apply false lashes like a pro. For this look, I’m wearing Esqido Little Black Lash. I highly recommend checking out their Holiday Lash Guide to help you find the perfect pair. Finally, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner is my all-time favorite liner and I use it post-application to fill in any gaps or cover up any excess lash glue. It’s amazing how a simple pair of false lashes can make a big difference in a beauty look!
