#1 Taking care of your eyelashes is the first step to ensure you have thicker and longer ones. In order to maintain them, trim them from time to time. You can buy special scissors for this purpose.
#2 Buy a lash comb or an unused mascara brush to clean them and comb them. This habit will keep your eyelashes strong and prevent their breakage too often.
#3 In order to enhance them naturally, you can make use of home remedies. Applying olive oil on them regularly will help to a certain extent. Even castor oil works wonders for your lashes.
#4 Another lash enhancer is petroleum jelly. You can apply it using a fine brush or a Q-tip. Many people use almond oil also to make their eyelashes grow. Mix in a little egg white to avoid their breakage.
#5 Apply carefully to avoid these going into your eyes. Though these remedies have been known to strengthen and improve the appearance of eyelashes, they do take time to show effects. Eyelashes do not grow very quickly. And even when they do, it is just a few millimetres.
Make-up
#6 If your eyelashes aren’t too long and thick but you would like to make them look that way, you can choose the right mascara to do so. Here’s a video to help apply mascara the right way. There are volumising products which make the eyelashes more prominent by adding more intensity in them.
#7 The only thing to remember is to always remove any speck of make-up before you go to bed. This is because, using it extensively and not taking it off will make your eyelashes finer than before. It will leave a chemical deposit on them which can also go into your eye. Watch this quick video to learn the right way to remove eye make-up.
#8 If mascara does not give you the desired result, you can also opt for fake eyelashes. These come with a glue-like solution which helps stick the fake eyelashes on the real ones. This gives an illusion that they are part of your eyelashes and enhance their length and volume. Again, do they take them off before sleeping to not cause much harm to your eyes and eyelashes. You could also use an eyelash curler for a more dramatic appearance.
