What girl doesn’t long for lush, full lashes? They make your eyes look bigger and brighter, so we apply all kinds of mascara and try to coax them with curlers and brushes. But if you’re looking for longer, fuller lashes, there are a lot of other things you can try, too! Here’s my list of 7 tips for long, lush lashes…

1. Use a Serum

I highly recommend using a lash boosting serum, in particular, the one offered by L’Oreal, if you want longer, fuller lashes. Apply it in the morning and before bed and you’ll see results in just four weeks. I can attest that it’s not just marketing, either - I’ve been using the serum for only three weeks, and my lashes are so thick, I don’t use mascara anymore!
2. Wash off Make-up Each Night

Mascara, shadow, and eyeliner are fine for during the day, but if you leave it on all night, not only will you stain your pillow case, you’ll also dry out and damage your lashes! Before bedtime, use a gentle wash and clear away all of the day’s make-up.
3. Don’t Rub Too Hard

Most eye make-up will come off easily with a gentle cleanser on a soft wipe, so there’s no need to rub with too much vigor. All you’ll do is break off or pull out your lashes.
4. Use Fresh Product

If you tend to get attached to your eye make-up, try to remember that as it gets older and drier, it’s more likely to attract and keep bacteria. To save your lashes, and your eyes, pitch it every eight weeks and get fresh!
If you're in the relentless hunt for the perfect mascara, that not only volumizes but also gives your lashes the much-needed lift, then you should absolutely give the dior show mascara a try. It's undeniably one of the best mascaras that guarantees both length and volume while leaving no clumps behind.
5. Eat Well
If you eat junk food and especially if you smoke, your hair and skin will show it, and so will your lashes! Eat well, drink plenty of water, and quit smoking! As terribly unhealthy as smoking can be, lashes might be the last thing you’ll need to worry about… but add them to the list.

6. Don’t Trim Them
I have a friend who trims her lashes to keep them even, and she always ends up pulling a few out. First of all, I don’t want scissors that close to my eyes, and second, lashes at the outside corners of your eyes are longer for a reason. To review: okay to trim your bangs, not okay to trim your lashes!
7. Get a Prescription for Latisse

If you try all of these, and your lashes are so sparse and brittle you start to suffer from dry eyes, ask your doctor for a prescription for Latisse (or something similar). It encourages lash growth, but beware. It does have side effects, like all other prescription drugs.
Follow these tips and you’ll notice longer, lusher, fuller lashes! I know, because I have done these things myself, and I have the lashes to prove it! Do you have another lash tip to share? Please let me know!

Mia: Eyelash serum makes my eyes water, so I use castor oil instead. My lashes are incredibly thick and long now. I have to push my glasses forward a tiny bit or else my lashes are bent against the glass.
Carol: good tips. I use olive oil to nourish my eyelashes. Just wash an old mascara wand or use a cottom ball or pad. Seems to work for me.
Nicole: I agree with not trimming the outer corner lashes, but if i have one really long one sticking up past all the others on my eye, i'll take a little pair of eyebrow scissors and snip that one shorter
Danielle: I've started using the lash serum and its great. The only thing I don't like about it is my eyes water with it, but other than that I can already tell my lashes are longer and I have only been using it for 4 days.
Shakti: I am blessed with extraorinary natural lashes so thanks for telling me how to take care of them.
