Bigger is better: take your look to soaring heights by turning up the volume on your lashes, lips, and hair. Get ready to go over the top.(The Sexy Issue)

* You've heard the expression Go big or go home Translation: As long as you're putting the time into something, invest as much effort and passion as possible for the most awesome results. It's a motto that works these days not only in life and love but also in beauty. "We're more confident than ever, and we want our hair and makeup to take us to the next level," says trend and lifestyle expert Jane Buckingham, CEO of the Intelligence Group. In other words, big is beautiful. So think ultrasexy lashes, lips with major impact, and supervoluminous hair. Because if you aren't going to take it to the max tonight, why bother?

Get Superbig Lashes

"Lush lashes have an innocent yet flirty effect," says Chanel makeup artist Kate Lee, who created the looks seen here. Dust loose powder over your lashes first--it'll absorb oil and help your mascara stick. Then squeeze an eyelash curler as close as you can get to your roots, and work your way up. Coat on volumizing mascara (Rimmel Volume Flash Mousse Air-Whipped Mascara. $6.75). To stand out, attach a small section of false lashes (just a bit longer than your natural ones) for a dramatic flutter every time you blink, says Lee.
