Three Essentials For Thick, Fluttering Lashes

In need of a lash boost? Everyone has their own thing when it comes to makeup. Maybe you can create the perfect cat-eye swoop, or your red lip is so on point that you always get compliments. Whatever your signature or statement, lush-looking eyelashes will never go out of style, and, even better, they go with literally every look.

And if you’re someone who puts their lashes on display every time they leave the house with the aid of a volumizing and lengthening mascara, or you’re someone who suffers from a sparse, spread-out fringe, here are three notable ways to help improve, boost and enhance your lash potential.

All you need is a little patience and these handy makeup hacks.

Get growing

Grab L’Oréal Paris Lash Serum Solution to get started on your best eyelashes yet. With the help of glycerin, pro vitamin B5, hyaluronic acid, madecassoside and arginine, this lash serum works hard to promote the health of each hair, starting at the root line. But be patient—this formula needs to be applied twice a day for four weeks in order to see the best results. And fret not: This concoction works even if you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses. You can apply this alone—i.e., before bed—or even under a lash primer or mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow, and you’ll still see results. Now, let’s get growing!

Prime of your life!

Lash primers are enjoying a bit of a resurgence at the moment, thanks to our never-ending quest for an alluring full set. Your best bet for mimicking falsies is to apply a swipe or two of L’Oréal Paris Lash Paradise Lash Primer to both sets of eyelashes before you apply your fave mascara. This mascara primer is tinted pink, and the applicator brush has more than 200 bristles to help with maximum distribution; both help add volume and density to each and every eyelash. Make sure to glide the brush from the base of your lashes all the way to the tips and allow the primer to dry before you apply mascara overtop. Just like the serum, this product is safe for you, even if you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses.

Truly uplifting

There are loads of mascara tricks online, but one that stands the test of time is a dual-position brush. When it’s straight, it can grab a high percentage of lashes, and when it’s bent (a hack made famous by makeup artists), it can place product on those tiny harder-to-reach hairs in the corners of your eyes. If you can get a long-lasting, lifting and lengthening mascara onto all those lashes, well, your look would be set to perfection. L’Oréal Paris Unlimited Mascara has a dual-position brush, and it comes in two formulas: washable and waterproof. The 24-hour formulas are both stretchable, meaning not too dry or too wet, and won’t clump or flake.
