I love how the eyes look.
I wonder if it is only fake eye lashes with a good mascara, and nude lip stick
any ideas?
thank you

I think it is fake lashes! Though you can get a similar looks by doing this:
Dust the top of eyes to prime it for the liner with powder.
Then line the top of your eye, thinner towards the inner. I use bobbi brown gel liner, with a very, very thin brush, and follow your natural eyelash line. Steadilydraw you line to the natural edge of your eye and get a little thicker, 1/4" away from it.
Once you have the natural edge done, you can kick it up at the end. Try not to squint or anything because you dont want the line to get caught in the fold of you lid ( it will not last as long. So extend it out, but try not to curl it up, but rather extend it up just a little ( less than 1/4)
Dust the top of your lid with a lighter, (very light yellow or soft white) but not over your line you just drew, Just to clean it up and keep the oils away very close to the line.
Then curl your lashes..
Mascara- Bourjois has the one that has the white fibers to extend- use something like this if you don't have this brand, then apply the darker color. For this look brush your lashes with mascara, instead of up and curled, try to brush outward and then up, more catlike.
Then with the gel liner and brush, very carefully, draw the line at the outer corners of your eyes on the bottom lash line, only draw it in about 1/4". I dont think it is done here, but it really does make your eyes look larger.
Then just do that mascara thing again for bottom lashes, but insetead of sweeping outward. Just take off a clump on the tip of your mascara brush and just go side to side gently on the bottom lash line's outer corners.
Then the way to really get it softenedup is with the lighter shadow, I use bare minerals in chenille and dot it at the part of your eye closer to the inner and blend under eye sweeping upward along lash line..
Works for me..;-)
