Do eyelash serums really work? Yes, here's how!


False eyelashes can be difficult to apply and can damage your natural lashes. The obvious downside is losing your lashes due to damage caused by the glue. Thankfully, there are techniques you can use to style your lashes into a number of flattering shapes.

Round Eyes

If you have round eyes, go for cat-eye shaped lashes. Achieve this look by using a translucent powder on the lashes near the outer corners of your eyes. This increases thickness and volume to the outer lashes, accentuating the cat-eye effect. Apply mascara as you normally would on your upper lashes, with a special focus on the "cat-eye corners."

Hooded Eyes

With hooded eyes, you want to focus on lengthening the lashes in the middle of the eye. This will help create depth, making it look like your lashes are longer. When using Xlash, pay special attention to applying the serum to the central lashes. Emphasizing the lashes in the middle of the eye makes them more noticeable and less hidden. This is an excellent way to enhance how your lashes are accentuated.

Almond Eyes

Women with monolids achieve stunning looks with long and fully volumized lashes. If your lashes are short, you can extend them with an all-natural lash growth serum. To go from long and straight to curled lashes, use a lash curler that is flat or straight as opposed to the traditional curved one. You'll find that a flat lash curler anatomically fits the eye better, making it easier to curl lashes on monolids.

Monolid Eyes

Almond-shaped eyes look beautiful when framed by many different styles of lashes. You can easily achieve an attractive look with various styles of lashes with this eye shape. To highlight your almond-shaped eyes, start at the root and work the lash curler out to the tips of your lashes, curling them three times.

Large Eyes

You can do a lot with large, beautiful eyes. You'll find it beneficial to get a lash curler that is flat and long, making it easier to curl all your lashes at once. Play up your lower lashes to fill in your eye frames. Do this by highlighting the outer corners of your lower lashes with Xlash and mascara.

Small Eyes

It's easy to make small eyes appear larger by extending or giving the appearance of length to certain lashes. Use lash serum to focus on growing the middle and outer lashes. When applying mascara, concentrate the product in the middle of the lash and outer corners. You can also use a thin blue or white color along the waterline to make the eyes pop and appear more open. Using thick eyeliner on small eyes will only make them look smaller.
