Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes · Product guide
False lashes
Strip or cluster lashes applied over the natural lash.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca. Part of the Eyes: Shadow, Liner, Mascara & Lashes guide.
When to use it
Whenever the eye must read under flash — which at a Moroccan wedding is most of the night.
On Moroccan skin, in a Moroccan climate
Not decoration on a bridal face. They are what stops the eye vanishing in the photographs that matter.
The rule that runs through every product on this site: check undertone, not just depth. Most Moroccan skin is olive or golden, and a neutral or pink-based product greys within the hour however precisely the depth matches. And for any long event, set in thin successive passes rather than one heavy layer — accumulated product slides in coastal humidity, while product laid down thinly stays.
What it will not do
Comfort for a first-time wearer without a trial. Try them before the day.
The most common mistake
Applying glue straight from the tube to the lash band. Let it tack for thirty seconds first.
