Your eyes are the windows to your soul so they better have some fantastic fringing, right Primpers? Every woman I know covets thick, killer lashes and thankfully, getting popping peepers is as easy as booking a blow-dry. And that’s pretty damn easy. All you need are a few products and the know-how, so let’s lift those lashes and frame those bright, Bambi eyes of yours.
Always curl your lashes
Start by clamping an eyelash curler as close to the roots as possible without pinching the sensitive skin on your upper lid. Pump the curler two to three times and release for perfectly curled, lifted lashes. Remember to curl before you apply mascara otherwise your fragile little friends could break. And we don’t want that do we? Heck no.
Use a lash primer
Put the wand down Primpers. Before you do anything, swipe those lashes with a lash primer for extra length and volume. This little guy is usually a clear or white nourishing formula that goes on before you apply mascara to plump up your lashes and make them appear fuller and longer. It’s time to invest ladies.
Choose a voluminous mascara
There are SO many mascaras on the market that choosing just one can seem like an epic task. Look for a product that will lengthen lashes and add some oomph. Place the brush at the root of your lashes, wiggle diagonally to the tips and repeat until you’re overjoyed with your look. Our pick? Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara, $21.95 not only plumps up those little pretty’s, it also contains a formula to enhance and strengthen them with each use. Genius.
Finish by feathering
In between each coat, gently brush out your lashes with an eyelash comb for a feathered effect. For extra definition, apply individual falsies to the outer corners of each eye using a pair of tweezers. Make sure you place them as close to the lash line as possible so they blend with your natural lashes. Now step back and admire those amazing eyes.
