Luscious Lashes

There is nothing faster and more effective than false lashes to give extreme lengthening to your peepers.

However, that said, Drag Queen Lashes are not what we're aiming for here. Natural strip lashes or individuals without the long lasting glue - toss it.

With either choice it's a good idea to curl your lashes first. If you're using the strip lashes (which should have been trimmed to fit well) apply them next. Press your lashes together with the false ones. When dry, apply mascara under the upper lashes, let dry and for extra oomph curl your own and the false lashes together. Then stand back in awe.

For individual ones, curl, apply mascara and then add the individuals to the ends first and work your way in until you are satisfied. Add another coat of mascara and you too have peepers to remember.

It takes no more time for false lash application than using mascara once you hone the skill and they look and last much better.

Either apply a lash primer under your mascara or apply a mascara revitalizer ON TOP of your mascara to add thickening and lengthening. (RAMY Triumph Mascara Revitalizer and One Stop Shopping Mascara – also sold as a set called Lash Extension 101)

My favorite eye lash trick is to apply two different mascaras. One that is lengthening and the other, thickness. You'll get the perfect lashes every time. And since we tend to apply two coats anyway, you might as well make them count. I also like applying on top lashes only, keeps the attention away from what's underneath the eye.
