When it comes to looking good, many women believe their most important asset is their eyes. Eyelashes have long been considered an indicator of beauty, so it is no surprise that classic beauty Elizabeth Taylor was recently revealed to have a genetic mutation that gave her lush, thick eyelashes naturally.

Since we all can’t grow our own second row of eyelashes, Barbara Rattigan, founder of Shavasana Eyelash Extensions, has the next best option: natural-looking eyelash extensions. According to Barbara, “adding volume to your lashes with extensions can create a beautiful, natural look.”

Barbara notes that eyelash extensions commonly mistaken as a “one size fits all” service, which is not the case at all. “Adding eyelashes can create a wide variety of looks and styles,” says Barbara. Below; she has shared her top five favorite “Lash Looks” for spring and how to obtain them with eyelash extensions.

Barely-there lashes for the “fresh faced” look

Barbara says, “this is my favorite look, because it’s for the woman that doesn’t want a lot of fuss, doesn’t wear a lot of make-up, but wants to feel beautiful when she walks out the door every day.” To achieve subtle, long lashes that appear natural but give a boost to your everyday look, Barbara suggests a very thin lash that is identical to your natural look, but slightly longer.

“Chocolate brown lashes are a great way to really soften the face if you don’t want to appear harsh,” says Barbara, “people shouldn’t know you are wearing extensions – they should just know you look great, but can’t figure out what ‘it’ is!” (more…)

The “Twilight” star has taken up the cause of prom dresses for teens in need. She helps the organization DonateMyDress collect used formal gowns for the cause, including some of her own. The actress told People, “I had a blast at prom! Every girl should have the chance to have that experience.”  This is the third time Greene has been the official spokesperson for the worthy organization.

Greene has promised to donate the white Lela Rose dress she wore to the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball. She has also given away some of her red carpet gowns.

Recalling her moments at school, Greene spilled to People magazine that she had to go through difficulties to have a prom dress.

Greene said “In high school, I had to work several jobs to save enough to buy a prom dress,” so the 24-year-old actress said. “It was so worth it: I had a blast at prom! Every girl should have the chance to have that experience.”

The beautiful actress is also scheduled to host TwitterView on Wednesday March 23 at 4:30-4:45 P.M. EST. She will talk to girls around the world and they can ask about dressing for prom, doing makeup and hair, as well as handling date and friend dilemmas.

The actress tweeted “Can’t wait to talk to all of you guys at the DonateMyDress.org Twitterview Tomorrow!!! Hope you’re as excited as me!!”

Beside Greene, Selena Gomez also lends her celebrity power to support the DonateMyDress organization. CurrentMovieReview.com reported the 18-year-old singer, who is currently dating pop sensation Justin Bieber, has made a promotional video for the charity.
