HOW TO GET LONGER LOOKING LASHES

Hi everyone! Today I’m going to share with you one of my most precious beauty tricks: How to make it look like you have awesomely long lashes ;)

Here are our basic tools:

·        Water-proof mascara

·        Non water-proof mascara

·        A teaspoon

·        Your everyday lash curler

NOTE: I recommend that one of the two mascaras has a really thick brush; this will make a huge difference with volume.

First of all, you’re going to curl your lashes the old-fashioned way: with a spoon. If you’ve never used a spoon as a curler, just grab it upside-down in a fist, with your thumb on the edge and pull them lightly and carefully as if you were brushing them. In the video it might seem like a vicious attack against my lashes but in reality I’m being very gentle LOL. Here’s the demonstration:

Once your lashes are spoon-curled enough to make a soft curve on your lash-line, it’s time for the eyelash curler. The trick when using this glorious invention is to try to get as close to the roots of your lashes as you possibly can and then press gently, pulsating about 8 times. You can work your way up to the tips with each pulse to make them curlier but you need to be careful because if you overdo that then the lashes will curl in on themselves and ruin your day (at least it would mine haha!)

       Now, get that thick brush mascara out and apply the first coat, focusing on the lash-line (roots) to keep them up. An important tip here is to move the brush horizontally through the lashes as you make your way up. This will keep the mascara from leaving clumps and it will distribute evenly.

This is how it looks after one coat:

Now, for the second coat, use the non water-proof mascara, applying the same way as the first coat.

Ok, so for the final coat, go back to the water-proof mascara and give it one more go, but this time focusing on the tips and the corner lashes to elongate and widen the eye. Use the tip of the brush for this part. See the difference?

END RESULT:

NOW FOR THE BOTTOM LASHES:
 I love to use Volume Million Lashes by L’Oreal for my bottom lashes because they are a lot smaller and not as full and the brush is perfect. I recommend you try it J

      Apply one coat first, wait a few second for it to dry, and then apply the second, again using the tip to separate and elongate. Add a little extra on the outer corners as well.

AND VOILÁ! FINAL RESULT: LONGER LASHES EFFECT

If you put this next to the first picture, you never would’ve guessed this could be done right? All you need is to know and apply the right tips and tricks to give your lashes a little volume.

Hope you try this and get awesome results!

Lots of love and yours truly,
