LED Eyelashes Light Up Halloween
Straight from Japan comes the newest innovation in false eyelashes — light-up LEDs that come on and off at your will. Totally necessary and probably prohibitively expensive? Yes.
Lotsa Lashes: 21 of the Most Extreme Looks
Back in 1919, famed makeup artist Max Factor invented false eyelashes to enhance the dramatic performances of leading Hollywood starlets.

These "lotsa lashes" looks are always quite memorable.
The Look For Less: Fun Feathered Lashes
False eyelashes are a lot of fun, especially when you have the opportunity to play around with unusual and wild styles. Sometimes, wacky lashes are bold and brash, but other times, they're artistic and fantastic. Shu Uemura's Fleur-Ever lashes fit firmly into the latter category.
Reader Review of the Day: Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes
There are many pros for lengthening your lashes, particularly when the method is inexpensive and works in an instant. Recently, reader Krissysrose reviewed Ardell Invisiband Eyelashes ($4), and here's what she had to say about these temporary enhancers:

How Much Would You Pay For Longer Lashes?
The desire to draw attention to the eyelashes has been going strong since around 4000 BC, when ancient Egyptians used kohl to darken lashes and eye areas. Fast-forward thousands of years later, and the mascara industry brings in over an astonishing one billion dollars a year. That's not even including other eyelash-enhancing products such as extensions, false eyelashes, and now Latisse, an eyelash-growth drug approved by the FDA last December.
Bat Your Lashes at This Cool Typeface
Graphic designer Amitis Pahlevan created this typeface out of individual false eyelashes. No, it's not a font that you can install on your computer — yet — but it's an inspiring example of the creative things people make out of everyday items. I particularly like how the softness of the lash flares sets off the black tips, giving the letters a fuzzy quality that's retro and artsy at the same time.
Doing Drugstore: Andrea Modlash Starter Kit
I love the festive look of false eyelashes but have trouble swallowing the price. Many times I've passed by this lash line in my local drugstore, and decided to pick up the Andrea Modlash Starter Kit ($5.79) for a holiday party. I was most intrigued by the applicator – I've used tweezers before but this fits the entire length of the lashes and looked to me like I could get quite the grip, but did I?The Look For Less: Madonna's "Diamond" False Lashes
Remember Madonna's famous mink-and-diamond lashes from a few years ago? Her makeup artist, Gina Brooke, made them by hand; they proved to be so popular that she developed a Madonna-inspired set ($25) for Shu Uemura. For Halloween or just a glam night on the town, they're super-slick.

Be a Clown With Viktor & Rolf For Shu Uemura
Remember when I told you back in January that one of my favorite design duos, Viktor & Rolf, were teaming up with Shu Uemura to create a line of false eyelashes? Well, the fruits of their labor are finally ready for the public, and the lashes are just as fresh and whimsical as you would expect. The three falsies were inspired by Viktor & Rolf's Spring 2008 collection, which itself was inspired by Marcel Marceau.
