Patches with an immediate lifting effect

Those with slightly droopy eyelids will certainly fall for this little novelty:patches to stick on the eyelid that immediately give the eyes a "lifted" effect! The principle is very simple:we apply a small sticker in the shape of a half moon on the eyelid to tighten it. The "Magicstripes" were discovered in Asia by German make-up artist Natalie Franz who decided to launch them in Europe. The price is quite correct:19€ for 64 patches.

We love this very simple, fresh and fun polka dot nail art for summer. It's a cinch to pull off with animated GIFs from Harper's Bazaar! We apply a base layer then with a dotting tool, we draw aligned blue dots. Once completely dry, we add a layer of top coat to our manicure.
