Who doesn’t want long eyelashes? They look gorgeous and make your eyes look bigger and brighter at the same time. One of the most common complaints from women across the country is that their eyelashes aren’t long enough. You may have stubby hair or limp lashes that just don’t pop.
It makes you feel a little self-conscious and you wish you could immediately grow longer lashes. Well, these three quick tips will help you do that with minimal stress. You’ll get the long fluttery eyelashes you’ve always dreamed of and will encourage them to keep growing!
Get Eyelash Extensions
When you think about getting longer eyelashes, you instinctively buy fake lashes. They’re okay, but you can only wear them for a day before they need to be taken off. Plus, some fake eyelashes are poor and they can irritate your eyelids so they’re not always worth it.
Instead, you should consider eyelash extensions. They’re semi-permanent and can last for weeks at a time while also being a much higher quality. You can get them put on by professionals or enrol in some eyelash extension courses to do it yourself. Either way, you elongate your natural hair with some subtle extensions that look very natural and brighten your eyes, rejuvenating your whole face!
Brush Your Lashes Every Day
How often do you brush your eyelashes? Most of us rarely do this, which is weird considering we regularly brush our eyebrows. You assume your lashes don’t need to be brushed, but this can help them grow much longer.
It’s similar to how men need to brush their beard to keep it in tip-top condition. In that scenario, the brushing untangles beard hair and encourages the beard to grow more uniformly. With your eyelashes, the goal is to untangle the hair follicles so they can grow in a straighter line. Hair doesn’t lie or tangle up, which often causes limp and lifeless lashes. A cheeky brush every day will keep your lashes healthy and provide room to grow.
Go Easy On The Lash Makeup
Let’s be real, what happens when you aren’t born with naturally long eyelashes? You do anything to make them look longer and thicker, which usually means laying on lots of mascara. There’s nothing wrong with some mascara or lash makeup, but you tend to overcompensate, which leads to a long-term negative effect. To avoid this, using a lash primer before applying mascara can help enhance your lashes while minimizing damage.
Too much makeup can suffocate the eyelash hairs and cause them to fall out or curl over. As a result, the hairs can’t grow properly and your lashes constantly look short and stubby. Cool it on the lash makeup – you only need small amounts. Plus, if you follow this tip (and the two others) it’ll mean your lashes look healthier and there’ll be less need for makeup anyway!
You see, getting longer lashes isn’t rocket science. Anyone can do it; it doesn’t matter if you were born with naturally long eyelashes or not. Use extensions for an instant lift but focus on encouraging healthy lash growth by brushing and easing off on the makeup front.
