Lancome Alber Elbaz Hypnose collection

See the entire Lancôme Show by Alber Elbaz collection! »

Since hearing about the collaboration between Lanvin’s creative director, Alber Elbaz and leading French cosmetics house, Lancôme, in January, we’ve been batting our lashes prettily and patiently.

Launching at the end of June, the Lancôme Show by Alber Elbaz collection is finally coming to beauty counters—and our vanities. A true believer that luxury triggers joy, Alber Elbaz has created a limited collection that not only features Lancôme’s four worldwide best-selling mascaras and colourful Hypnôse eyeshadow palettes, there’s also a set of false eyelashes that come in a box designed by Elbaz himself.

Mascara and False Eyelashes for Spring

It’s been 46 years since Yardley of London introduced Twiggy Lashes and Twiggy Eye Paint to help the masses replicate the doll-like stare of the model of that and many more moments, but her gaze lingers on. This is a season of 1960s-inflected eyes, reimagined as a thick strip of fringe and pale blue lids at Giorgio Armani, spiky top-and-bottom falsies at Moschino and smoky shadow with mile-long lashes at Gucci. The difference now is that we have the benefit of 21st-century cosmetic technology: Faux lashes are being made with laser-cut paper, feathers and mink, and mascara wands are so painstakingly sculpted and engineered, they resemble tiny topiaries.

I recently cut my hair short and it’s at that point of growth where the ends flip out. What can I do to deal with this?
You’re preaching to the choir! I’ve been battling that old-school Carol Brady coif for a few weeks now, and let me tell you, it is a stubborn scene. Your best bet is to smooth the ends under when hair is still damp. After applying a heat protectant spray, aim the blowdryer nozzle downward on the hair shaft and grab a natural-bristle round brush to help decrease split-ends and breakage. Ideally, the brush should be small enough to use on shorter hair lengths, such as Raincry Professional Small Natural Bristle Brush 45mm ($48, raincry.com), to wrap the hair around the brush to curl the ends under in the opposite direction, working in sections and starting with the bottom layers of your hair. This method takes a bit more time, but ultimately, it’s less damaging to hair than the direct heat of a flatiron every time you wash your hair. Read more »

What can I use to battle fine lines and wrinkles in my undereye area? They seem to be getting a little bit deeper each year.
A fair question that many people start to ponder as time goes on! It’s important to understand that fine lines can appear due to dehydration, which can be addressed by adding moisture back into the eye area with an eye cream. However, wrinkles and fine lines brought on by aging are bit of a different beast! Consider enlisting a retinoid-based product, such as Philosophy Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Repair Cream ($65, sephora.com), to help out. Retinoid creams contain vitamin A derivatives that work to smooth fine lines/wrinkles and boost collagen while evening out discoloration and smoothness and this particular one also contains peptides to tackle undereye bags and darkness. Tip: Retinoid creams can make skin particularly sensitive to sun exposure, so don’t forget your SPF and sunglasses when out and about!

How to apply eyelashes and best false lashes

Figuring out how to put on eyelashes can be a tricky process. From finding the best false lashes for your face to mastering the application technique, there’s an almost infinite number of variables that can trip you up along the way. But despite all this, there’s no denying the added wow-factor that false lashes can provide. A good tube of mascara can only go so far: false lashes are certainly the best way to add volume, definition and drama to your look.

Whether you’re applying eyelashes for the first time or consider yourself an expert at falsies, tips and tricks to make the process easier are always appreciated. Which is why we asked our Beauty Panel to share how they apply false eyelashes. Even better, their tried-and-true answers include recommendations for some of the best false eyelash brands to try.
