Go it one better, when graphics departments digitally enhance lashes to make them look long and lush and, amazingly, just like the lashes we all want to have, too. P&G’s Cover [...]
When friends ask me how long I intend to work, my answer comes rapid-fire: “Until I don’t want to, which at this point, is never.” Really. I can’t imagine not working: What would I do?
