Bedroom Eyes

In the delicate dance of flirtation, the most powerful weapon has always been the eyes. Since the beginning of civilisation, humanity has been using cosmetics to draw attention to the eyes, both to heighten sexual appeal and heighten the emotion they convey. Long ago, the Ancient Egyptians were painting their eyes with kohl, and Anthony was fast falling under the spell of Cleopatra's fluttering eyelashes. She must have been all too aware of the effect they were having upon him, because of all the charms the eyes posses, the lashes are the most bewitching.

To this day, our eyes continue to captivate our lovers and signal our interest, and we continue to use makeup to enhance their beauty. And this is no surprise, considering the amount we use our eyes to show our intent. When we converse with the object of our affection, we deliberately gaze into their eyes for longer than usual, and sometimes we simply cannot help ourselves. When our eyes fall upon someone we like, our pupils enlarge, like it or not, nature makes our feelings clear. In fact, when it comes to the art of flirtation, our eyes are determined to reveal our secrets, entice our mates, and steal the show.

And surely the show stopper has to be the eyelashes? Long, lustrous lashes make our eyes all the larger, and in turn we appear all the more youthful. Nature is not always kind, and as we age, features such as the nose and the ears continue to grow, but our eyes remain the same. The lady who wants to maintain her youthful appearance must work to make her eyes seem bigger, in order to balance her features. Eyelash extensions are the perfect way to achieve this.

Though don’t be fooled into thinking that these kinds of extensions are only for those ladies interested in maintaining their youth. We have already spoken of Cleopatra, but who can forget the dazzling Hollywood legend so often associated with her? Who can forget Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes? When she starred as Cleopatra, her luxurious lashes were false ones applied whilst she played the part, however, lash extensions can create exactly the same effect for longer.

Of course, once you have the lashes, it is important to use them. A fluttering of the eyelash is one of the oldest and most beautiful ways to display an interest in someone. Indeed, women have been shown to subconsciously blink more frequently when conversing with a person they find alluring. So the next time you find yourself in the company of a handsome stranger, make sure you have some enchanting eyelashes to flutter their way.
