TheVelour Would I Lie falsiesare more dramatic on the outer corners, which adds to the fluttery-ingenue vibe.
But there is, actually, a teensy bit of effort involved to verify this look doesnt read flat.
You dont need to show up to your wedding totally bejeweled (last one).
A subtle touch of shimmer can give a natural bridal look a little extra magic.
Kitten Eye
Acat eyeisn’t exactly natural, for a human, anyway.
Just a casual flick at the outer corners of the eyes can be sexy without looking painted on.
