Do you struggle with trying to get your lashes to look long and luscious? Well don't worry, there's no need for fake lashes. These simple tips will take your lashes from mediocre to diva in no time. Seriously, you won't believe your eyes!
Avoid Those Unwanted Clumps
Multiple coats of mascara is always a good idea. But, be sure to let each coat dry completely before applying another one. If you don’t, you run the risk of clumpy lashes.
Choose Mascara That Will Help Lengthen Your Lashes
Instead of just buying any type of mascara, opt for a formula that has certain properties that will enhance your lashes. Some mascaras have certain oils and wax-properties that work together to hold your lashes’ shape. Yay for long lashes!
Curl In Multiple Directions
It’s easy to grab an eye lash curler and press it once to get your lashes to curl. However, to get lashes even longer, switch directions and the angles in which you curl your lashes using an eye lash curler. This will fan out the lashes, making them look longer and fuller.
Create An Optical Illusion
For a look that gives you thicker lashes, apply eyeliner to the upper waterline (inner rim) of the eye. It’ll look like you have a bed full of thick, full lashes.
Apply Mascara With A Rolling Motion
When applying mascara, roll the wand upward. This will push the wand teeth deep into the lash roots. Roll from the roots to the tips.
Try Not To Sleep Face Down
While this may be your favorite sleeping position, it’s not the best one for your lashes. If you sleep face down, your lashes can get caught on your pillow and fall out. If you absolutely have to sleep with your face down, use a silk pillow case instead.
Two Is Better Than One
For the perfect luscious lashes, use two different types of mascara instead of one. Use one mascara that will get into the root of the lashes, while another that lengthens and extends them.
Find The Right Wand
If your goal is to lengthen your lashes, choose a wand that’s smaller with a lot of teeth bound close together. It’ll be able to reach the root and extend all the way out. If you want voluptuous lashes, a bigger and fluffier wand is best. The teeth hug the lash curves, making them seem thicker.
Be On The Lookout For Certain Ingredients
If you want dramatic lashes, there are a few ingredients you should look for in your mascara. Soy protein helps build lashes. Acrylates copolymer enhances lash length. Panthenol, pantethine and pro-vitamin B-5 are the best for making your lashes stronger.
Coat Those Lashes With Baby Powder
It may not sound like something that will work, but believe us, it does. Dust baby powder on your lashes with a brush after your first coat of mascara. Then finish with a second coat of mascara to get lashes that are fuller and thicker than ever.
Condition Your Lashes
Yep, it’s exactly like what it sounds. Just like that hair of yours, your eyelashes need conditioner too. Use a q-tip to apply a conditioning oil, like castor oil or jojoba oil, to the length of your eyelashes to keep them hydrated and healthy.
Primer Isn’t Just For Your Face
The same way you use primer to give your face a nice canvas to work on, you should put primer on your lashes before your mascara to create shape and fullness.
Ditch Your Old Cleanser For Moisturizing Remover
Facial towels and cleaners can be harsh on the lash line and cause eyelashes to fall out. Instead, try a makeup remover with moisturizer to help keep your eyelashes in place.
