Long lashes draw attention to the eyes by enhancing the shape and creating a natural frame. Over the years I’ve experimented with different techniques and products to get the best results for longer, thicker eyelashes, and have found I’m always coming back to these 2 simple steps:

  1. Apply neuLash eyelash growth serum on a regular basis (I’ve been using it for years).
    1. Tip? I always make sure my eyes and lashes are clean and makeup-free. When I first started, I applied neuLash across the base of the lashes 1x per day (at night). It took about a month to start seeing results. After two months, I reduced my use to 1x per week (at night).
  2. Apply 2 layers of one of my favorite mascara – Bobbi Brown Eye Opening mascara and bareMinerals Lash Domination (I like to rotate!).
    1. Tip? I apply the first layer, then wait a few minutes while applying my other makeup before applying a second layer for thicker results.
    2. Trick? Instead of pulling the wand straight out, I twist it out. This helps avoid accumulating mascara on the edge of the bottle and adds a more even amount of mascara on the wand.
    3. Tip? I regularly wipe off the wand and clean-off the top of the mascara bottle to avoid clumping, and replace my mascara every 3-4 months.
    4. Trick? For maximum results, I apply mascara to my top lashes by moving the wand in a back and forth motion, starting at the base, moving upward to the tips, starting on the inside lashes, working to the outside.
    5. Trick? To apply mascara easily to my bottom lashes, I hold the wand in a vertical position, moving wand back and forth across the lashes.

It’s important to note that I don’t wear mascara all the time. I like to give my eyelashes a break from makeup on a regular basis, just as I do for my skin. And I make sure to diligently remove mascara after each wear with makeup remover or wipes. Nothing creates brittle, broken eyelashes and prevents them from growing like left-on mascara. Follow my two simple steps to create long and luscious lashes!
