Eyelashes, these little brushes of strong emotions

INot long ago, the term “routine” was associated with the sluggish repetition of daily life, with the sequence of recurring tasks more imposed than chosen. A flat and ordinary horizon that Bill Murray, whose character was condemned to tirelessly relive the same day in an endless day, taught us to subvert, on the condition of enshrining repetition in a virtuous system of improvement and creation, of self-fulfillment and openness to others.

Today, routines, when they are so called, particularly concern appearance and the body, the first vehicle of success. Since these rituals relating to sport or beauty are relayed on the networks by stars, they project the individual who believes in his star towards a version star of himself. Thanks to an iron discipline and an economy of time – where every passing minute must be captured and put to good use – the subject becomes stronger and more attractive. After sun salutations and squats comes the solemn moment when you put color or black on your eyes.

Emojis and romantic comedy

An unmissable moment in the history of animated film and the height of loving cuteness, the scene at Walt Disney’s during which Lady and Tramp flutter like possessed around a dish of spaghetti-meatballs consecrates the battering of eyelashes : in the mind of every child, this rapid movement of the eyelids is imprinted as a ploy useful in any relationship.

Already present in silent cinema, this motif will be used to excess in the cartoons of “Club Dorothée”, kawaii culture, emojis, romantic comedy films and advertising. The increasing use of slow motion will complete this cinematographic grammar of feelings.

We remember the knotted throat of Maggie Cheung in In the Mood for Love, of these scenes that stretch into the night where the inner world of the heroine is fully visible in her blinking eyelashes, magically captured and poetized by Wong Kar-wai’s camera.

Sensual and sparkling theater of the play of love and the birth of feelings, eyelashes (true or false) are also the little brushes of strong emotions. The eyelids are then like a blank canvas where the sticks of ink and the shadows come to draw the particular calligraphy of the wounded hearts.

To console yourself, you can also giggle heartily in front of the beauty tutorials and the whole gallery of grimaces of our idols on social networks. Or open Instagram and have fun with insane filters, which are so funny, but which we know well that they concentrate in them some of the canons of beauty of tomorrow.
