With all the innovations on beauty, one may still be unable to fathom how styling eyelashes came to trend. Yet when you look at fashion and beauty icons like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and Twiggy, you would recognize how lashes play a role in defining a woman’s beauty. Here in the country, it is quite common to see women having bold eye looks. A beauty maven like Heart Ongpauco-Escudero recognizes partnered with NÉW Lounge to share how styling eyelashes can make a difference in a woman’s self-esteem.
How luscious lashes came to trend
Men and women in ancient Egypt used kohl and ointments to darken the lashes. Apart from making them look beautiful, it was meant to protect eyes from the rays of the sun. It is interesting to note that in Rome, the Philosopher Pliny the Elder claimed fallouts result from excessive indulging in sexual pleasures. Hence, women protect their eyelashes for the sake of chastity. After Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne, dying lashes with red became the private routine of women.
During the rise of silent films in the 1900s, a fluttering effect for the eyelashes of the actresses trended. It became well-known with Hollywood Director D.W. Griffith’s idea to glue false eyelashes on actress Seena Owen. As the concept changed from waterproof to groovy to mixed, more fashion and beauty icons like Marilyn Monroe, Twiggy, and Madonna wore innovative and statement-making eyelashes. At present, some social gatherings like the MET Gala call for dramatic eyelashes. Thus, from a doll-like effect to glitter-tinged, styling lashes have become a meaningful part of a woman’s routine.
Turning it into a lifestyle
NÉW Lounge partners with Heart Ongpauco-Escudero to share how self-care is important for a woman’s self-esteem.
