Nicole Abe's new line of eyelashes + using NYX cosmetics for a gal look!

Ranzuki's Nicole Abe released a line of eyelashes called "Princess Tiara" last month which include 3 sets of eyelashes plus 1 set of accent lashes. If you're curious about buying them, you can purchase them here (but you need to use a shopping service). But what I liked about this spread was that they included how to do her gal makeup using NYX Cosmetics, an affordable brand that is very comparable to MAC Cosmetics.
I'm personally not a big fan of Ranzuki (I only bought the October issue which came with a set of eyelashes), but Nicole is absolutely adorable and I might have to buy it in the future for her.
Nicole's Natural Look:
1. Use NYX's Single Eye Shadow in shade ES130A (Golden Amber - $5.50) and Slim Eye Pencil in SPE901 (Black - $3.50)
2. Gently line your eye with the second shade of Glitter Cream Palette in GCP06 (Ice Queen - $6.00) where B is, and line the inner corner (where C is) with Candy Glitter Liner in CGL12 (Crystal - $4.50)
3. Curl your lashes and do whatever you usually do to prep for putting on fake eyelashes. To get your eyelashes to be similar to hers in this look, I recommend using lashes that are similar to MAC's #7. I would go for Ardell's #102 (Demi - $3.49) on top with Ardell Accents Lashes 305 ($3.49) and Red Cherry's #49 on bottom ($1.99)
4. Use Powder Blush in PB06 (Peach - $6.00) on your cheeks.
5. Use Mega Shine Lip Gloss in LG112 (Frosted Beige - $5.50)

Nicole's Glamorous Look:
1. Use NYX's Single Eye Shadow in shade ES63A (Cryptonite - $5.50) and Slim Eye Pencil in SPE901 (Black - $3.50)
2. Gently line your eye with the first shade of Glitter Cream Palette in GCP05 (Bronze Goddess - $6.00) where B is, use the Cryptonite eyeshadow where A is, and line the inner corner (where C is) with Candy Glitter Liner in CGL12 (Crystal - $4.50)
3. Curl your lashes and do whatever you usually do to prep for putting on fake eyelashes. To get your eyelashes to be similar to hers in this look, I would go for NYX's Eyelashes EL 123 (Bondage - $4.50) on top with Ardell Accents Lashes 305 ($3.49) and Red Cherry's #104 on bottom ($1.99)
4. Use Powder Blush in PB21 (Copper - $6.00) on your cheeks.
5. Use Mega Shine Lip Gloss in LG159 (Smokey Look - $5.50)

Nicole's Dolly Look:
1. Use NYX's Single Eye Shadow in shade ES150A (Utopia Gold - $5.50) and Slim Eye Pencil in SPE901 (Black - $3.50)
2. Line the inner corner (where C is) with Candy Glitter Liner in CGL12 (Crystal - $4.50) and half your eyeline with Slim Eye Pencil in SPE901 (Black - $3.50)
3. Curl your lashes and do whatever you usually do to prep for putting on fake eyelashes. To get your eyelashes to be similar to hers in this look, I would go for layering Red Cherry's #47 + #600 ($1.99) together on top with Ardell Accents Lashes 305 ($3.49) and Red Cherry's #104 on bottom ($1.99)
4. Use Powder Blush in PB01 (Mocha - $6.00) on your cheeks.
5. Use Mega Shine Lip Gloss in LG158 (La~La~ - $5.50) and Black Label Lipstick in BLL118 (Chakra - $7.50)

Another product of theirs that is also incredibly noteworthy is their Highlight + Contour set. A lot of people forget this step when doing gal makeup and it happens to be a really essential part (to accentuate certain parts and give you a more "3D" look) and you can get it in a set here for $30.
