Best ways to make eyelashes look longer and thicker
Most of us want longer and thicker eyelashes and meanwhile there are countless methods to make the eyelashes look longer and more voluminous or to let them grow. But you don’t need expensive eyelash serums or artificial extensions from the beautician – even small household tricks serve their purpose. You don’t even need a tool for this trick, just your mascara. It’s all about the right application technique.
How to make your eyelashes look longer
This mascara trick is based on the technique of brushing your eyelashes. The trick is to first apply mascara to the tips of the eyelashes before applying the rest of the lashes. Touch the tips of your eyelashes with the mascara brush and spread the color on them with a slightly circular motion. So the mascara settles on the seats and provides a few extra millimeters in length. Let the mascara dry for a few minutes and then make up the rest of your eyelashes as usual.
How to make your eyelashes look thicker
Do you want fuller lashes? With these tricks and a little mascara, the perfect look is achieved. We all would rather have fuller lashes. But you don’t necessarily need to go to the beautician for this. With a simple mascara you can still make up fuller eyelashes.
Mascara mix
Sometimes a single mascara is simply not enough to achieve the desired effect. With a mascara mix it can look very different. A basic mascara that separates the eyelashes evenly from each other and gently fanned them out is best suited. Apply another mascara to this, which provides more volume. And the style for the eyelashes is ready.
The right move
When you apply mascara, there is a trick to automatically bend the lashes upwards. This makes the eyelashes look fuller and longer. To do this, place the mascara on the lower lash line and move it slightly to the left and right. In this way, the mascara is distributed perfectly and at the same time separates the individual eyelashes. Then pull the brush up to the tips of your eyelashes. You can also use eyelash curlers to bend your lashes upwards.
Apply to both sides
Do you only ever apply your mascara to the underside of your eyelashes — the side you see when your eyes are open? Then you should try this trick. For fuller lashes, you should also cover the lashes from above with mascara. To do this, close the eye and apply the color to the top side of the eyelashes while they are pointing downwards. It can be helpful to put a facial tissue under the eyelashes so that the color does not get on the face.
