Why is Michelle Obama wearing false eyelashes? These falsies were meant for drag-act divas and Mrs Obama seduced Europe with them. How do you get fantastic lashes? Michelle Obama's eyelashes Sarah Vine
I know, you're fed up with reading about Michelle Obama. But let me just tempt you towards one last, tiny detail: the First Lady's falsies. Michelle Obama is normally so natural looking, it's surprising to find something about her that is so unapologetically fake.
Those eyelashes weren't even trying to look real.
No, they were full-on, all-out diva lashes, the kind you normally find on D-list celebrities or in drag-act dressing rooms. The allure of the long lash is well-documented. They define and sexualise the gaze, making the eyes appear bigger (and therefore younger). Gazing up at someone through luscious lashes is considered an act of seduction; it's even entered the vernacular: “you batted your eyelashes at him”.
Given that Mrs Obama's intention was to seduce Europe, she chose those lashes well, making no attempt to conceal the artifice. She did not, for example, opt for lash extensions which give the most natural finish. These are bonded to the wearer's own lashes, a painstaking process that nevertheless yields fantastic results. You can choose various degrees of amplification, from just a few extra lashes to a full-on fan. Suzie Lung (tel 07957 771503) does a mean set, or try Vaishaly (020-7224 6088).

Hi GOP (waves!!!) Lady!!! You are speedy!!!
I was gonna ping you!
Fake eyelash alert!!! There are much, much better ones out there...
Your antenna needs to be calibrated.
This is my favorite Freeper image. I am going to do this for Halloween next year.
OMG, someone, please add some balance to all the comments at that article. Comparing MO to Doris Day...barrrrfffff!!!
The word entrhalled comes to mind..
my thoughts exactly...........
For once, I’m on the ball. LOL.
You ladies are great! You did all the work during the European trip last week.
I agree, there’s enough to be critical about these two without going after cosmetics.
But, but, I thought it was all about the ARMS!
I have four boys and one girl; I am ‘known’ in the neighborhood for my time honored ‘barfing JackOlantern.’
‘Waaaay cool...its blowing seeds!’
er, enthralled
Bring Rosalyn Carter back even!
She just wanted to tickle the face of Sarkozy’s wife when she planted that big kiss on her mouth.
Heck, I want to know why she keeps wearing those hockey pants.
If you could only hear me laughing.
I can’t stop! Help me!
I think Michelle’s make up (in that photo) is in official ‘anchor woman’ mode. Under really, really bright lights, shadowing has to look that severe; but...those eyelashes scream $3.99 off a j-peg at the drug store.
Wasn’t anyone in the 500 plus entourage a licensed cosmotologist?
Her lip-liner is too dark, too...
