Thick, long, and fluttering eyelashes give our eyes a dramatic look by making them stand out easily. But we are hardly blessed with such gorgeous eyelashes. Here comes the importance of tricky eye makeup or natural home remedies or other simple ways that can help us get long and lush eyelashes. Read on to know more about the ways to get thicker lashes.
# Apply Mascara Like A Pro- Start with curling your lashes with an eyelash curler. As you are trying to make your lashes thicker, cover them with one or two coats of primer to avoid clumping before getting into the main job.
- Choose a cream-based mascara for obtaining killer fat lashes. Beginning from the base of your lashes, twist the wand a little back and forth and then move it through their edges. You need to apply at least 2-3 coats with a drying time of 2 minutes between them.
- Make sure that you brush the upper section of your eyelashes after each coat dries. Doing it with an eyelash comb will create a ‘feathery’ effect, which will eventually make the lashes appear thicker.
- For mega-thick eyelashes, you should grip the mascara wand straight up and swipe it from internal to external corner of your lower lashes.
# Get A Pair Of Falsies
- Wearing falsies can give you a more dramatic look by making your actual eye lashes appear voluminous. However, always buy false lashes that are well-manicured and glue them to your lash lines perfectly.
- It is better to use a good quality adhesive instead of the one that comes with the fake eye lash kits. It will help the falsies stay still in their places for long, thereby offering you an amazing lashed-out look.
# Try Eyelash Extensions
- If false eyelashes are not your cup of tea, go for eyelash extensions. In this method, artificial lashes (available in small strips or sections) are placed in between the actual lashes of a person. The result can last up to a few weeks.
- Always lie on your back while sleeping with your eyelash extensions on. Also, carefully brush them out every single day. These would prevent tangling, thereby improving the life of your fatter lashes.
# Use Eyelash Growth Serum- There are several go-to serums in the market which can be used for enhancing the growth and thickness of our original eyelashes. They contain essential vitamins and other nutrients to make the lashes strong and healthy, which can eventually turn them rich and lush.
- You can also prepare your own eyelash growth serum at home. Just pour 1 teaspoon of castor oil into a empty and clean mascara bottle. Add 2-3 drops of lavender and cedarwood essential oils to it and shake very well. Apply this serum on your lashes every night so that the follicles get nourished by the castor oil and the growth of the hair gets promoted by the essential oils.
# Consume Right Nutrients- If you want to grow your eyelashes thicker in a natural way, focus on your food consumption. Instead of taking readily available food supplements, live on a well-balanced diet to support the healthy growth of lashes and avert their fall naturally.
- You must take ample amount of proteins (fish, egg, poultry, lean meat, milk, cheese, etc.) and healthy fats (olive oil, sunflower seeds, avocado, almond, etc.) to get beautiful lashes.
- Include lots of fresh fruits (citrus fruits, apple, guava, strawberry, blueberry, cranberry, etc.) and vegetables (green leafy veggies, broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, peas, Brussel sprouts, etc.) in your daily diet to thicken up your eyelashes naturally.
- Increase your vitamin intake as much as possible. It has been found that vitamin H or biotin-rich foods can lead to lesser eyelash fall out. Hence, consume plenty of carrots, legumes, bananas, egg yolks, mushrooms, and so on. Biotins supplements, which are readily available in the market, can also ensure the growth of healthy hair on your eyelashes as well as your scalp.
