Long, beautiful lashes are on most people's wish list — but you don't need expensive extensions or false lashes to get them. Here are five simple tips that make a real difference.
1. Choose the right mascara
Start by identifying what you want to achieve. Is it length, volume, or a better curl? It's worth investing in a good mascara, because the difference between cheaper and better-quality options is often significant. Cheaper mascaras tend to clump more easily and rarely last the whole day. Our Lash Hero Mascara delivers length, volume, curl and definition all in one, whilst Weightless Mascara is perfect for a natural, lightweight look.
2. Use the right technique
Apply a thin line of dark eyeshadow or eyeliner along the lash line before your mascara. It gives your lashes a fuller appearance straight away. Then curl your lashes with our Eyelash Curler for an immediate lift.
Position the mascara wand as close to the root as possible and wiggle it gently back and forth as you slowly draw it upwards. This separates the lashes, prevents clumping and ensures an even application. Use the same technique on your lower lashes.
3. Build up in thin layers
More mascara doesn't always mean better results. Wipe any excess from the wand onto a piece of kitchen paper before you apply, and build up in two thin coats rather than one thick one. This gives a more natural and long-lasting result without any clumps.
4. Use an eyelash serum
Mascara enhances what you already have — but an eyelash serum changes the foundation. Xlash Eyelash Serum is applied every evening along the lash line and gives visibly longer, fuller lashes within 28 days. With well-nourished lashes as your base, mascara results look completely different, and many people find they don't even need mascara on everyday occasions.
5. Take care of your lashes
Always remove your mascara thoroughly before bed using our Caring Eyes Make Up Remover. Save waterproof mascara for special occasions, as it's harder to remove and puts more strain on your lashes. Give your lashes a rest on days at home, and remember that diet and hydration affect lash health more than you might think.
With the right products and the right technique, amazing lashes are well within reach.
