When did eyelashes become solely about the eyes? Making them long and voluminous to enlarge the eyes, correcting their shape, and refining the overall impression of the face. Most eyelash makeup we know follows the natural lash line, simply adding to and extending what is already there. Makeup artist Audrey questions this seemingly obvious placement from the start. In her work, eyelashes abandon the eyelids entirely, stretching beneath the eyes, across the cheeks and forehead, and sometimes hanging far beyond the face.

Multiple strands extend across the skin in different directions, transforming into musical staves or straight hair so long it demands to be pinned back. Her eyelash work goes beyond being merely strange or experimental. Some ideas are inventive enough to actually want to try. If there is no right place for eyelashes to be, is there really a right way for a face to be beautiful?

FAQ

What are the characteristics of makeup artist Audrey's lash work?

Audrey's lash work defies traditional placement, traversing the entire face—under eyes, across cheekbones, onto foreheads. Multiple strands extend in different directions across skin, resembling musical staffs or long straight hair, presenting ideas inventive enough to inspire actual experimentation beyond mere conceptual play.

What is the traditional role of lash makeup?

Traditionally, lash makeup enlarges eyes, corrects eye shape, and refines facial impressions. Most lash applications have remained confined to adding to and extending natural lash lines without departing from their actual location.

What question does Audrey's work pose?

Audrey's work questions whether there's truly a correct facial form we consider beautiful if there's no definitive placement for lashes. Her core challenge is prompting reconsideration of beauty stereotypes and standards themselves.
