Eight ways to look smart now

Play up your eyes

Our obsession with lashes lives on. For a special occasion, why not visit a lash bar and choose a pair of statement falsies. Need help? Lash bars have experts who will put them on for you! Or for a DIY option, choose a mascara that lengthens and curls. Wiggle the brush from root to tip, paying special attention to the outside corners and bottom lashes. Now layer, layer, layer — more is better for this '60s-inspired look.
