So, what is the secret behind those thick brows and the lush lashes? And, how does one actually get that kind of lashes? Well, it is not as difficult as it seems. One can easily get them by using fake eyelashes. But, applying fake eyelashes is a very tricky thing, as well. It requires a good amount of precision and concentration. If not applied carefully, the lash bands can fall off even before the night ends. And, that will be the ultimate fashion tragedy for anyone.  Let’s learn here how to apply fake eyelashes!

What Kind Of Lashes Should Be Worn?

One should use the right kind of lashes, as the fake ones tend to look synthetic and heavy, sometimes. There are ultra-thin lashes available, and there are also thick ones available. Choose the type as per your natural lashes. Get your toolkit ready, and you will be ready to apply these lashes. All you need is a mascara, a set of lashes, and some eyelash adhesive, which will do the trick. And, of course, you will need some patience, as hurry might mess up things.

How To Apply Fake Eyelashes?

Fake lashes are to be placed properly and requires absolute precision. Given below is a step by step guide for applying the fake lashes:

1. Apply Mascara

Applying mascara is the first step. For this, you will need to curl the natural lashes, and then apply a coat of mascara on them. This will create a shelf for supporting the weight of the fake lashes.
 

2. Align The Band With The Natural Line

The next step is to align the band with the natural line and to trim off the excess lashes. When the excess lashes are trimmed off, it will look more natural.

3. Cut The Lashes To Fit

This step involves cutting the lash bands right in the middle of creating a large individual eyelash. This will make it easier to cut and paste. For this, you will need to have a correct measurement of your lashes.

4. Add Some Adhesive

This is the stage, where you will need to apply some black adhesive on each lash band, separately. You will have to wait for a few seconds for allowing the adhesive to dry. Once dried, the adhesive can be easily stuck on the lash.

5. Put Them On

This is the final step, where you can place the extension on your lashes. Remember to use your fingers instead of the tweezers. Start with placing it on the outer corner first, and then hug it to the lash line. If you wish to give it a more intense look, you could use put the outer extension a little bit above the natural lines. While applying the inner extension, try to avoid getting closer to tear ducts, so that you get a little more width on the eye. Closer to the tear duct will make the eye look narrow and cross-eyed.

Tips On Applying False Lashes

Though, applying fake lashes is not too difficult if you follow the steps carefully, you also need to know some tips and tricks, which can help you get a gorgeous look. Given below are some fake eyelashes tips, which will help you in having those perfect lashes.

Tip Number 1: Things Are Better With Curves

When the lash bands are curved, it is easier to apply the lashes. Do not fret if you think you went overboard with it. It is actually quite easy to apply a harshly curved false lash on the eyes, instead of trying to pin down the ends of lashes that are straight. To get the U-shape on the lashes, you can either toggle the ends of the eyelashes between your fingers or try to wrap the lashes on any cylindrical object. As the lashes are not made out of 100 % human hair, it will not bend easily. So, you will need to put in some efforts to bend it right.

Tip Number 2: Keep It Oil-Free

When there is oil on the lids, the lashes won’t bond. So, if your eyelids are naturally oily, try to remove the extra oil, using oil blotting sheets. And, in case, you are reusing the lashes, ensure that you do not remove them with a makeup remover that is oil-based. This will make the oil to stay there and make it hard to be glued back.

Tip Number 3: Keep The Elbows On The Table

Beginners need to have a good precision while applying the lashes. And, the mirror plays an important role in that. It should be placed correctly so that the lashes are applied successfully. A majority of the people apply lashes in a standing position in front of the mirror. This can make the hand to shake, and make you lose the grip. To avoid that, you could keep the mirror flat on the table, with the elbows on both sides of it. This way, you would be able to look down in the mirror, with the fake lash glued, and ready to be applied. This will also give you a good view of where the lashes are to be applied. Or, you could use a swivel mirror, and use them to be placed beneath the face. The angle will need to be adjusted, though. With the elbows propped up on the table, you can support yourself and apply. The mirror should be beneath the face so that it gives a perfect view of the natural lashes and the fake lashes.


In case, your hands are still shaking, you could put your chin on the table, as well. And, then, you would definitely not feel any shakiness.

Tip Number 4: Start With small

It is always better to start with small lashes and then go bigger. The half lashes or the accent lashes are short in width, and they cover only the outer half of the eye. These will be easily stuck to the eyes, without much issues. Once you master with the smaller lashes, you can graduate to the bigger ones.

Tip Number 5: Go One Step At Once

If you love the full strip lashes, but do not know how to set them correctly, you can try to cut them into 2 or 3 sections. Then, you can either use the half lash or the full strip lash. Then, you need to place these lashes on the lids. But, this tip might not work perfectly with the thick lashes, as people might be able to make out where these have been cut exactly. Better to go with lighter-density ones, and shorter lashes, which will look more natural.

Robots are replacing fast food workers at new Shake Shack

 
It’s the future of fast food bytes in the Big Apple.


 


Robots will replace humans and cash won’t be accepted at a soon-to-open Shake Shack in the East Village, reps for the popular burger chain said Monday.


Customers will place orders via an app and at touch-screen kiosks inside the restaurant, which is scheduled to open an Astor Place branch later this month, according to company CEO Randy Garutti.


Workers dubbed “hospitality champs” will guide diners through possible tech glitches as they place orders at the kiosks, which only accept credit cards.


Diners can also pay on smartphones and tablets using the restaurant’s app.


“The Astor Place Shack will be a playground where we can test and learn the ever-shifting needs of our guests,” Garutti said. “[It] represents our dedication to innovation and to providing the best for our guests and for our teams.”


Buzzers at the burger joint, which was founded by famed restaurateur Danny Meyer, will be replaced by text messages to alert diners when their food is ready.


The new notification model allows customers to roam outside the restaurant while waiting for their burgers, fries and shakes. When their order is ready, they pick it up at a counter.
The chain plans to use the Astor Place branch as a testing ground for the cashless kiosk model, which eliminates the job of cashier. It also gets rid of its traditional order placing area.
Staff at the new restaurant will be paid a minimum of $15 an hour in order to attract the best workers — at a time when areas such as New York, California and DC are transitioning to that as a minimum wage, Garutti said.
In the future, the chain also plans to offer high-speed delivery and innovative packaging, he said.
“We’re excited to lead with kiosk-only ordering, putting control of the Shake Shack experience in our guests’ hands, and an optimized kitchen with increased capacity for mobile orders and eventual delivery integration to support ongoing digital innovation,” Garutti said.
The new Shake Shack will have dining rooms and waiting areas similar to other New York City branches.
Shake Shack isn’t the only restaurant chain that has recently gone cashless.
Sweetgreen, a fast-casual salad chain with locations in Manhattan, stopped accepting cash earlier this year.

Concord Cumin Roasted Chicken Salad

Roasted Onions, Pears, Arugula, Cambozola 

Inspiration was somewhat lacking last night, I'm still stuck on concord grapes. I wasn't into the thought of mostarda, that concord jam though....

Roasted a chicken, heavily rubbed with cumin and salt. Didn't brush the concord jam on until the very end.

This was a one pan meal, high heat oven, first chicken and onions, pears added closer to the end of cooking. I thought about rice or potatoes, just didn't have the energy. 

Super delicious salad, satisfying, could have used a little tartness. I think next time, a little balsamic stirred into the jam to give it that little lift.
