5. Manicare Glam Eyes and MAC 34 Lash

We’ve called it a tie on the essential false eyelash solution for a vintage-style look. You natural eye lashes, or lack there of for some of us, will determine which product you use. No matter your lash type, the Manicare Glam Eyes range will have an option to suit. The range includes lashes named after famous beauties; Jessica, Beyonce, Cara, Taylor, just to name a few. Our pick for a pin-up look is the Jessica lashes, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their options. For a more dramatic look, choose the MAC 34 Lash, which creates a dark, thick lash look. The Manicare range is available at Chemist warehouse and Priceline for around AU$13 and MAC 34 Lash online from AU$18.
