I’m not gonna lie, I am super jealous when I see girls with long, thick lashes…Unfortunately, it is not the case with mine. It could be worse, so I should not complain really.
But there are certain things I can do about it. I have never tried lash extensions for some reason and wearing false lashes every day is not an option, for me at least.
So here are the products that I use to get a make my lashes look decent:
First of all, I curl my lashes with shu uemura lash curlers, they open up the eyes and the curl lasts all day long. It is a great investment.
Then I use a lash primer, currently it’s Urban Decay’s Eyelash Primer Potion, it adds some length and volume without making the lashes look clumpy.
Next step is mascara – black Diorshow New Look or plum Clarins Instant Definition Mascara. I always go for high end mascaras, unfortunately, cheaper versions don’t do “the thing” for me.
Waterproof top coat is something I can’t live without now. It totally changed my life, ok, not life, but beauty routine for sure. I already have a back up!
I have very sensitive eyes that water often but don’t like wearing waterproof mascaras, so this is a saviour for me. It keeps my mascaras from smudging and is easy to remove at the same time.
I don’t use all the products every day, only when I have an extra minute. It’s usually a mascara and a top coat.
I have the Shiseido L/C & have to heat it with the blow dryer in order for my lashes to keep the curl 🙁 I completely agree with you about drugstore mascaras. I was never able to find one that worked for me. I never tried Clarins so I might go for this one next. Thanks for the trick of the “top coat” 😀
I love Dior and Lancome mascaras the best. And yes, that top coat is amazing, I have already got a new one. You may want to try heated lash curlers, Japonesque make one http://www.makeup4all.com/japonesque-breast-cancer-awareness-month-sets-review-and-photos/
A waterproof top coat is interesting to have. I’ll have to try it out.
I can’t use drugstore mascaras either. I tried them but they make my eyes so itchy. I was scared wondering if there was some ingredients in there that I’m sensitive to.
Hi Paige,
I really hope you will like it. What is your favourite mascara?
I like YSL Faux Cils the best and I have been using it everyday ever since I have discovered it (4-5 years ago I think).
Hi Paige,
That mascara is a favourite of a lot of people.
