FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GHOST WHISPERER HAUNTED BY ARDELL® LASHES & ANDREA® EYE Q’S

Universal Studios, CA - October 12, 2005 – Ardell® Lashes are once again gracing the small screen thanks to make-up artists Julie Socash and Kandace Westmore whose beautiful work can be seen every Friday night on CBS’s new hit drama GHOST WHISPERER starring the stunning and talented Jennifer Love Hewitt and costarring the equally talented and beautiful Aisha Tyler as her best friend and business partner.

“To draw the camera’s focus to Jennifer’s gorgeous brown eyes, I like to use the knot-free Ardell® DuraLash Natural in Short Flare Black in the middle of the lid and the same lashes in Medium Flare Black on the outside corners.” says her make up artist Julie Socash. Off set, Julie makes sure Jennifer travels equipped with Ardell® Invisibands in 120 Black Demi or Demi Pixies. “I also use the Demi Pixies for on-set ‘event’ scenes like parties.”

Ms. Tyler’s make up artist, Kandace Westmore, also uses Ardell® DuraLash Naturals. “For Aisha, I use the Short Flare Black across her entire lid to define her eyes but still look natural enough for her close ups” Kandace recommends using DUO Eyelash Adhesive in Dark.

Both make up artists swear by Andrea® Eye Q’s Oil Free Eye Makeup Corrector Sticks. “We use them for everything, touching up lip liner, eye shadow, even the fake tattoos we apply on set.”

Julie and Kandace have worked together numerous times, most recently on NBC’s drama AMERICAN DREAMS where they used Ardell lashes extensively and exclusively to catch the spirit of Dick Clark’s AMERICAN BANDSTAND during the 1960s. Said Kandace of her experience preparing 300 extras for a day on set, “Even if we didn’t have time to do full make up, we made sure everyone had on lashes. Just that simple gesture captured the essence of the era.” Julie and Kandace received the MakeUp Artist Guild Award for their work on AMERICAN DREAMS.

Ardell® false lashes have long been a favorite of make up artists, Hollywood A-listers and Vegas showgirls. Ardell lashes are made of 100% human hair and are no longer reserved for special occasions; they’ve become part of many women’s morning routine. The #1 seller of faux lashes and adhesives, Ardell offers hundreds of styles in strips and individual lashes with a full line of accessories including adhesives, combs, curlers and tweezers. Ardell lashes use a patented knot-free technology. Lashes can be used again and again. Available nationwide through beauty supply stores, drugstores and other fine retailers. SRP: $3.99.
DuraLash individual lashes are the closest thing to natural lashes ever developed. These exclusive knot-free individual lashes are permanently curled, waterproof, easy to apply, and comfortable to wear for up to 6 weeks at a time. One DuraLash package contains 56 lashes and are available in Flare and Naturals styles and come in black or brown and short, medium and long-lengths.
InvisiBands have an invisible band that connects the hair strands to form a strip. They are knotted and feathered by hand for perfect uniformity and an absolutely natural look.
Ardell® lashes have been featured in Seventeen, YM, Latina, Allure, Woman’s Day, InStyle, Elle Girl and Redbook. They’ve recently been spotted on Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Terri Hatcher, Gwen Stefani, Kristen Davis, Angela Bassett, Rachel Hunter and were exclusively used by Julie Socash during the film of NBC’s American Dreams.
