Much like fashion, beauty looks that are often seen parading down the runway get translated into wearable versions shortly after. In what was one of the most sensational runway makeup looks to date, the Pat McGrath porcelain doll trend spread like wildfire as soon as the show ended. While this dramatic look slowed down, there’s a more wearable version that has trickled into this season’s trends. This coquette-approved look features large dolly lashes that can be achieved with a few different techniques. We’re here to spill the tea on how to try this youthful look out for yourself.
The dolly lashes look pays homage to the mod movement of the mid-60s, channeling Twiggy’s iconic beauty with bold, spiky lashes. Recreating this look yourself is easily achievable in two distinct ways. Firstly, opt for a pair of spiky false lashes to do the heavy lifting for you. Start by applying a liquid eyeliner to slightly wing out the eyes, helping to blend the lash band for a natural appearance. If you are a self-proclaimed lash master, consider using single lash clusters for more precise placement. Remember to curl your natural lashes and use a strong eyelash glue for long-lasting wear.
If you prefer to skip falsies, you can still achieve the dolly lashes look with mascara and a steady hand. Begin by using the tip of the mascara wand to coat small sections of lashes in an upward motion. Before the mascara dries, gently press the top of each section together using tweezers. Repeat this process for all lashes, including the bottom ones, to create a wide-eyed, doll-like effect.
