How To Get Movie Star Eye Lashes

Eyelashes can really add in-your face-drama to the eyes. People even go so far as to glue on false ones individually, and hey, if you've got the patients it's well worth it.

Here are my tips I wanted to share for getting the hottest "traffic stopping lashes" in a few simple, easy steps.

For night time:
Use an eye lash curler!

1. Apply your foundation and eyeshadow before you do your eyelashes. (Powder and eyeshadow are going to end up on your lashes anyway, so using mascara after is always a good idea to camouflage those powder specks. Plus that powder will add thickness to lashes.)
2. Curl your lashes.
3. Apply one coat of your daytime mascara. Personally I like Maybelline Lash Discovery because it separates so well without clumping. You may also want to comb your eyelashes with an eyelash brush.

4. Apply a second coat after about 2 minutes. I use "Covergirl Volume Exact". This one gives volume and length. My lashes end up looking so dramatic and almost fake. And I love it! :)


TIP for daytime and the "natural look":
1. Curl lashes.
2. An easy way to draw attention to your eyes without putting on a pile of makeup is use clear mascara. This gives a natural look and leaves lashes conditioned.

You can also try putting a dab of petroleum jelly/Vaseline to condition lashes... but only a dab or you'll end up with a load of grease  under eyes.
