If you ever wanted to give yourself crazy huge lashes with a doll or comicbook-esque feel, now’s the time. Usually paired with an almost naked face, these are lashes that will bring all the attention to your eyes, while still having a bit of fun. Go with big and dramatic, or try something more playful like the lashes seen at Louis Vuitton’s SS16 show.

Makeup artist Pat McGrath created the look by applying long, thick and sharp lashes in the outer corners of the upper lash line. On the bottom, lashes were placed in clusters to get that manga-inspired style.
