Volumizing mascara, lash plumpers, falsies, even extensions...augmenting eyelashes is a big business. And while Maybelline Great Lash may be the quintessential miracle beauty product, nobody does glamorous lashes better than Shu Uemura.
The best Japanese import to emerge since sushi, Shu Ueumura's array of luxe gold eyelash curlers (the pride of my makeup bag) and false lashes make any woman feel like a diva. So it's not surprising to discover that the brand's Tokyo boutique is home to the most outrageous, fabulous lash bar in the world. But don't just take our word for it-beauty editors like Glam.com's India-Jewel Jackson can't stop raving about the extraordinary merchandise.
"This over-the-top lash bar offers art for the eyes and fashion for your lashes," Jackson enthuses. "Whatever you want, they've got it: polka dot, peacock feathers, turquoise, or metallic; they've even got a mink and diamond set (that retails for $10,000!). Could falsies possibly be any more fabulous?"
We think not. However, if a trip to Tokyo's Omotesando district isn't in your beauty budget, take heart. Shu Uemura has lash bars in the States where lash stylists will personally apply each lash. If you're confident with the lash adhesive, you can also purchase falsies-ranging from the basic to exotic-online at ShuUemura-USA.com. Want to unleash your inner J.Lo? Try on the label's $50 handcrafted, butterfly-inspired brown feather lashes. Unlike those breast implants, you can simply take these off at the end of the night when you're done playing.
