Something New! Something Different
by Silva Petraite
No live model needed! Create any time, take as long as you need! All you need are foam mannequin, two pair of strip training lashes - for top and bottom lash lines, colour lashes, decorations and your imagination.
New Goals! Dream Big! Plan! Do!
The above is how the invitation sounded for the 1st edition of Doll up! International Lash Art competition by Silva Petraite - organiser of the competition.
Silva says: the idea was to create something different, new and unusual. I checked and nobody else was doing this type of competition. I wished to create an event where shy, lack confident participants could enter, push Lash artists from their comfort zone.
Also, because not everybody can afford or are able to attend live competitions due to having to look after children or work commitments, this setting makes it the perfect alternative.
We have hundreds of talented creative lash artists and it was a challenge in the beginning because not everybody believed that it could work.
However, I am so glad that it has transpired to be a successful first try because we received a lot fantastic entry photos.
Thank you to everyone who believed and participated. Congratulations to our winners! A massive thank you should be extended to the judges and sponsors; without your help this competition would not have been the success it turned out to be. I hope it will grow to even bigger competitions.
