So I read a study a year or two ago on the subtle definition of "allure" in a japanese beauty magazine similar to Allure in the US.
After flipping through another million pages and reading a thousand plus+ studies on "beauty," I don't quite recall the details and the statistics but a little experiment that I would love to try someday (hmm, maybe tomorrow morning?) stuck in the back of my head.
"A woman who has a sexy, come-hither, yet a little "off-beat" allure is a woman who has a subtle exotic twist to them."
The article started...
"Try this trick, it's easy to do and anyone can do it with just two wands of mascara. Use a black or dark purple mascara and layer it on the lashes of one side only. Take a subtly different tone of mascara, a dark blue or dark green or a blackish red and coat the other eye lashes with it. Keep eye shadow, liner, and everything else the same on both sides. The slight difference in the eyelash shades is so subtle that no one would be able to tell exactly what is different but it creates that subtle, "off beat" attractiveness of exotic beauty."
Is that completely strange or a little intriguing? If you try it, let me know.
For me, just the idea of wearing two different shades of mascara is kind of alluring in itself. LOVE eye makeup, as you can tell from the side bar...
