To lengthen the lashes is to open up the eyes, exaggerate the color
and strengthen an overall beauty look. So when mascara doesn't quite cut
it, celebs turn to tried-and-true false lashes. Hey, fake ‘til you make
it, right?
While many stars opt for lash extensions, there are several red carpet darlings who love the one-time wear of falsies. It requires less maintenance and you can dramatically switch up your look by simply using different designs or techniques. Need inspiration? Hollywood's lashy ladies are here to help.

Coco Rocha had the beauty blogs reeling after
she showed up to the American Ballet Theatre's spring gala this year
with eye-popping, dual-colored lashes. The model—or her makeup
artist—actually applied electric-blue mascara to her natural eyelashes
and then layered falsies in black on top for a dynamic contrast. She
applied blue mascara to bottom lashes for a look that was edgy but not
too costume-y.

For the perfect winged-out effect, draw a cat-eye with liner and
then apply individual lashes to the outer corners of the lash line, or
cut a strip in half and adhere it toward the outer ends of your eyes.
You can also opt for a strip that is already longer on one side. Either
way, it instantly creates a sultry look.

Even though Jenna Dewan-Tatum
wore a bold lip to the White House Correspondents' Dinner this year,
all we could see was green…her green eyes, that is. Makeup artist
Patrick Ta mixed and matched celebrity-favored Ardell lashes in medium and long to dramatic effect.
A singer serving of something good is never enough—which is why Nicki Minaj
likes to layer her lashes with a double set of falsies. It's even been
speculated that the singer used to wear up to three rows of lashes at
one time.

Sometimes, it's not so much about the fake lashes as it is the
bright liner behind it. For the Fendi spring 2015 runway show, makeup
artist Peter Philips went above and beyond and glued thin
cornflower-blue leather strips to models' lash lines, as seen here on Cara Delevingne.
He complemented the fashion-forward look with short, blunt falsies.
Because we don't all have time for arts and crafts, using a bright blue
liner on top will net you the same stellar effect.
