WHAT’S NOW & HOW TO DO IT ...

TOP LASH MASCARA

FOR the ultimate anti-ageing trick, apply mascara just to your top lashes.

Victoria Beckham’s models did so on the catwalk at New York Fashion Week — Pat McGrath, Max Factor’s global creative director, chose it for a more dramatic effect.

You need a brush that gets right in to the roots, then wiggle the wand towards the tips of your lashes, leaving the bottom set bare.

Try Max Factor Voluptuous False Lash Effect Mascara (€15.99, boots.ie), which has plastic bristles, the comb-like wand of L’Oreal False Lash Sculpt (€11.99, boots.ie), or Elizabeth Arden’s Grand Entrance Mascara (€29.95,
