Eye Love London

Yep, this could be one step closer to crazy than I've ever gone before, but how quintessentially cute are these lashes? The skyline of London town can now take pride of place on your pretty little eyelids. What more could you wish for? Don a pair with all your Jubilee swagger, or get ready for London 2012 in a quick flutter.  These lashes are so fun but also really delicate (as they're made from paper), so they will still look flirty and feminine.

'Paperself' specialise in these unique decorative lashes, inspired by the Chinese art of paper cutting. The 'London Skyline' range (a limited edition) is available from both ASOS and Topshop for £12. They're quite long (to suit all eye sizes) so you may need to lose a London Eye, or maybe even a Big Ben... it's your call.

Adhesive is not included, so be sure to keep stock of your glue from your last set of sexy lash enhancers.

You can stick your peepers on all of Paperself's ranges by checking out their website here. I LOVE the 'Peacock' set. So effortlessly sophisticated.

High Drama: Embrace the Lace

My oh my, Eye Rock's Eye Tattoos in black lace certainly ramps it up in the sexy stakes. High impact? You bet it.

Moseying around the ASOS website I spotted these unusual eyelid transfers for £6. I was a bit dubious to how well they would transfer, but they were so easy. Simply wet the paper side and peel away to reveal instant glamour. Just like the fake spidermen tattoos from the corner shop we slapped on our arms as children, minus the glamour part.

I trimmed the transfer so that it did not go underneath the eye, but if you're a daring doll you could go full frontal with the design. I personally think the sole lace wing is enough of a statement without overcrowding the eye. To apply you simply line it up so that the corner of the design sits perfectly in the crevice of your eye, and the wing extends from the outer edge of your eyelid. After a few dabs with a wet cloth, the sultry lace design transfers.

I like to blend the design with black eyeshadow and eyeliner, creating a smoke and lace effect. It softens the finality of the transfer, making it more sophisticated (and a bit less like a sticker on your face, which is always a plus)

Finish with lashings of mascara and soft black kohl on the bottom eyelid. This will balance out the extremity of the top lid and create a smouldering dynamic to the look.
