Singer & X Factor babe Cheryl Cole has sparked the biggest boom in falsh eyelashes since the sixties.
The Girls Aloud star, 25 has inspired massive numbers of teenage girls to wear false lashes, just as pop icons Dusty Springfield and Twiggy did almost 4 decades ago.
Yesterday Tesco said their sales in lashes has doubled due to the young fashion icon. Other celebrities such as Duffy, Vicky Beckham, Katy Perry and Penelope Cruz also use false lashes.
Tesco’s health and beauty director Mark Tyldesley said: “Cheryl Cole is doing for false eyelashes now what Dusty Springfield did for them in the 60s.
“She’s a modern icon so it’s not surprising so many young women are influenced by her style.”
