One of my best-kept beauty secrets is an elegant pair of false lashes, and my favorite brands are the L'Oreal-owned brand Shu Uemura, Sugar Cosmetics, and Ardell. Nearly every celebrity gal on the red carpet wears false lashes, and when properly applied, they can be hard to spot.

Those too timid to put on false lashes have excellent mascara alternatives. For big and bold runway model lashes, try Dior's Diorshow mascara, which comes with a larger-than-life-sized brush that coats every lash. For super-volumized and long lashes, check out Too Faced Lash Injection mascara by the makers of the popular Lip Injection products that plump up your lips. If natural and full is the look you're longing for, try organic brand Bare Escentuals mascara. Don't forget that swimming season is coming up, and you'll need waterproof mascara formulas that keep your lashes looking great even when wet.
