How to get long, thick eyelashes
Beauty lovers dream of having long, thick, dark eyelashes. They’re beautiful, they accentuate and frame your eyes, they help intensify any makeup look, and they wow everyone you meet. It’s rare to have thick, naturally black eyelashes that reach to your eyebrows. False eyelashes are often used by those who did not have the eyelashes they wanted when they were born.
Unfortunately, wearing false eyelashes every day can be expensive, time-consuming, and overall a grand hassle that most people would rather avoid. However, there are several ways you can extend and thicken your eyelashes without wearing false lashes. Read on the following tips to discover five ways to fake the appearance of Long, thick eyelashes Without using false lashes.
1. Curl Your Eyelashes Correctly
Curling your eyelashes will make them appear longer, thicker and more prominent. However, many makeup users remain unaware of how to correctly use an eyelash curler in order to maximize the increased length and thickness that you can achieve by curling your eyelashes.
Start by curling your eyelashes with dry, clean lashes. Make sure you do not have mascara on them. You should look downwards and secure the eyelash curler as tightly as possible on the base of the eyelashes. Avoid clamping your skin. Be sure to clamp the base of your eyelashes in a line. This will help you achieve a uniform curl.
To ensure that your curl holds, you should hold the eyelash curler at the base for a total of ten seconds. Next, line up the eyelash curler with the middle of your lashes between the base and the tip. Hold the curler for another 10 seconds and then release it. Then repeat the process on your very tip lashes.
You should always line up your curler straight before clamping and holding each curl for at least ten seconds. This will ensure that the curls you get are natural looking.
The eyelash curler can be heated with a hair dryer before use if you have a tendency to lose curl. Simply turn the blowdryer to its hottest setting and hold the dryer a few inches from the curler for fifteen to twenty seconds immediately before use.
2. Use Primer
Many people use primer to extend the life of their foundation and eyeshadow, as well as to keep them looking good all day. It is less well-known that you can make your eyelashes appear longer and thicker by applying primer before mascara. If you apply several coats to your eyelashes, they will also appear thicker and longer. If you apply too much mascara, it can make your eyelashes look cakey, clumpy and dry. Your mascara will also be more likely to flake throughout the day. Instead of applying multiple coats of mascara, you can achieve the same lengthening and thickening effects without the flakes or the clumps by using mascara primer.
Mascara primers come in packaging similar to that of mascara and are applied with the same type of brush. The formula and color are similar, but they look whiter. Apply one or two coats as you would your regular mascara to get the best results. You can continue applying your mascara after the primer has dried for a minute. If you’re looking for a great mascara primer to try, Tarte Opening Act Lash Primer and Dior Diorshow Maximizer 3D Triple Volume Plumping Lash Primer are both top-quality choices. You can remove mascara primer from your eyelashes using the same makeup remover that you use to remove regular mascara.
3. Line Your Rims
You can easily create the illusion of thicker, darker eyelashes by applying eyeliner to the upper and lower rims on your eyelids. You can use an eyeliner stick that matches your mascara color (or is just a few shades darker if you’re not planning to wear mascara), and apply it to your upper eyelid and lower waterline. This will make both top and bottom eyelashes appear thicker.
Unfortunately, eyeliner can fade and melt quickly from your upper rim and waterline. Seal the eyeliner on your upper rim and the waterline with eyeshadow.
4. Use Enhancing Mascara
The purpose of this article is to provide you with a way to create the illusion that you are a professional. Long, thick eyelashes, your focus should always be on enhancing what you have rather than trying to drum up something that isn’t there. Choose a color mascara that highlights the natural color of your lashes, rather than adding a new color. For example, if you have blond eyelashes, don’t buy a jet black mascara.
Wearing a mascara color that is too much darker than or is in a separate color family from your natural eyelashes can cause them to appear strange or unnatural. You can achieve a darker, longer lash look by choosing a mascara that is just a few shades darker.
If you have naturally blond or auburn eyelashes, try a medium brown makeup. Dark brown mascara is best for auburn or brown eyelashes. If you have darker brown eyelashes or hair, you can still use true black makeup without looking unnatural.
5. Apply Baby Powder
You can use baby powder on your eyelashes to increase their length and thickness. Before you put baby powder on your eyelashes, start with two coats of mascara primer in order to get your lashes wet and allow the baby powder to stick to them without falling into your eyes or onto your face. It will not harm your eyes if the powder gets into them. If you experience discomfort, simply close your eyes for several seconds to allow the natural moisture in your eye to dilute the irritation from the baby powder and continue with your makeup routine.
To apply baby powder, cover a qtip in powder and then roll it onto a paper towel. While looking down to avoid getting baby powder in your eyes, swipe the powdered q-tip from the base to the tip of your lashes. Allow the powder to dry for a few minutes, and then use one coat of mascara on your lashes.
You can apply another thin layer to cover any powder that is still visible after you have applied a thick coat of mascara. Baby powder can be removed from eyelashes using regular eye makeup remover.
