This doll-like style also stole the show during Jason Wu’s presentation as models fired up the runway with this subtle but strong look.

Spider lashes are fairly easy to achieve, but there’s more to it than simply applying multiple coats of mascara. In order to perfect your look and put more emphasis on your eyes, follow these easy steps:

1. Start off with a gentle and effective toner to cleanse your skin for a smoother application of products.

2. Prep your lashes by curling or brushing them to make sure they’re neat and untangled.

3. Apply a thin layer of powder to the lash area to help mascara stick easier to the lashes.

4. Keep everything else natural with light shades so as not to draw attention away from your eyes.
