How To Make Your Eyelashes Longer
 
Close To Eye
Whenever applying liquid eyeliner, apply it close to the lash line, i.e. the point from where lashes start. It will give the impression that there are more strands of hair at the root than there actually are. Along with that, if you were to extend the line of application a little towards the outer side, it would also give the impression of more lashes. Now you know how all the actresses of yesteryears gave the impression of long lashes?
 
Curl-N-Twirl
Many a times, flat lashes look short, even if they are long enough, because of the angle from which they’re seen. In such cases, an eyelash curler comes in handy. If used carefully and with caution, it can do wonders to flat eyelashes, making them look fabulous. The only thing, to keep in mind is to be ultra gentle as eye is perhaps the most sensitive part of the body. Tug a little too hard and lose a few strands of your precious lashes. You wouldn’t want that, would you?
 
Mascara
Mascara is an excellent way to make your eyelashes look full and thick; it has been used for as long as we can remember. The only thing, to be kept in mind is to invest in good quality mascara that wouldn’t clump. In addition, it should be removed thoroughly at the end of the day.
 
Here is a permanent way to make your eyelashes grow longer. Yes, actually GROW longer, provided you have the patience to see the results. 
  • First of all, you need to keep your lashes clean. At the end of the day, thoroughly remove every trace of makeup from your eyes.
