Do eyelashes grow back?

Lashes, lashes, lashes, we all want longer, darker, thicker lashes. Whether you want to go for the natural beauty or the glamazon babe look, if mother nature hasn’t been generous with you and you haven’t been blessed with naturally long lashes, mascara can make it look as if you were. As a matter of fact, most women answered our survey stating that without mascara “they almost feel naked”.
So here are some tricks of the trade that will come in handy to make the most of your eyelashes and frame your eyes beautifully.

1. Layer clear & regular mascara
If you want your lashes to look thicker, use a clear mascara as a “base” the way you put a primer to your skin before foundation or a clear basecoat before nail polish. Then put on your regular mascara: the clear mascara will create a thicker base for mascara to stick to.

2. Try a different color
Instead of choosing always the same black, try brightening up your eyes with a deep navy mascara. Dark blue will make the white of your eyes look whiter, and it will emphasize the natural color of your eyes. With your eyes popping out like that, no one will notice if your lashes aren’t super long.

3. “Comb” your lashes as you put mascara on
You must know by now that we like the Savvylash comb a lot. It will turn your regular, clumpy mascara into a perfectly defining one. While lashes are still wet, carefully comb through the lashes to separate them into beautifully defined ones. No more need for expensive revolutionary-wanded mascaras.

4. Some wands work better than others
From our experience, thin mascara brushes are better compared to big, fatty ones. A thinner brush allows you to reach into the corner of your eyes and coat each and every lash – thus making it look like you have tons of lashes. In other words, thin wands give you and your eyelashes more control.

5. Remove excess mascara from the wand
Especially when you have a new mascara, smudging happens. To avoid that, pat your mascara wand lightly on a paper towel before putting it on. The paper will absorb big clumps of mascara and the application will be risk-free.
