HOW TO GET LONG LASHES - NATURALLY!

*No eyeliner, curling, false lashes or extensions*

Time for a beauty related post here on FF! One of the questions I get asked most frequently, is whether my eyelashes are real and then how I get my lashes so long. They are in fact 100% my own, but I have some - until now - close-held secrets, that has helped me get the most of the ones I've got. The eyes have it all they say, so we might as well have some fun with it and care for them in the best way, and I'm going to let you in on how I like to do it!

NATURAL GROWTH

The first step is prepping, and this step is not one to skip. Years ago, a close friend told me, that she put sesame oil on her lashes each night to naturally stimulate eyelash growth. I gave it a go, and applied it after removing all make-up to my eyes before bed with a Q-tip as I would apply eyeliner. For about a month I would do it every day, and the following month every second day. Having done it for years now, I just remove my eye make-up with it, but I've seen such a difference after doing this. Best thing is that you can get it at the supermarket! No need for expensive eye-lash serums.

THE POWER OF 3

Next step, and this is something that will no matter your length of lashes help you make the absolute most of what you have: the power of using 3 mascaras. It is such a game changer! Instead of choosing a mascara that advertises that they do-it-all (which in my experience, they never really do), get the ones that are best at what they do, one for length + one for volume, voìla! Apply a "base" mascara - I use MAC's Extended Play mascara, which alone will not do anything exciting whatsoever to your lashes, but it's fantastic if you like me just use it as a prime mascara. Leave it for 15-20 seconds (they're not aloud to go dry!) and then add a lengthening mascara. The Rimmel Lash Accelerator is great, as it has fibres, that will help extending your lashes - apply all-over and blink through the wand. Leave your lashes for another 15-20 seconds and finish off zig-zagging through your lashes with Benefit's they're Real before they go dry. Looks pretty good now, right Bambi!?

IF YOU ONLY BUY 1 MASCARA

Get Benefit's they're Real mascara. It really does what it promises, but don't just add one coat and leave it. You'll get the most of it, if you follow the procedure from above, applying it once, wait about 15-20 seconds and then work the lashes up for more volume and length before the first coat dries.

I HOPE THIS POST WAS HELPFUL, AND THAT YOU'RE ALL HAVING AN AMAZING WEEKEND!
