Re: Eye lashes...what is the big secret?

You probably need something like this: eyelash separator

I have a few cheap versions of this thing that I got as a part of a gift with purchase from different brand. They all do the same thing.

Re: Eye lashes...what is the big secret?

This is what I have started doing and I think my eyelashes look ten times better than they ever did..

You will need two mascara's doesn't matter which kind but as long as they are two different ones... An eyelash curler, and either a clean mascara brush or an eyelash separator.

Curl your lashes (heat your curler up with the blow dryer for about 5 seconds.. this will help them stay nice and curled.

Apply mascara one (wipe excess mascara off on the bottle or a tissue) - from the base to the top vibrating in a back and forth motion. Now after that take either the eyelash separator like the poster above showed you or you can get use an old washed off mascara brush (I usually take a few from sephora ) and now do the same motion with the clean brush (this will get ride of clumps and separate the lashes..
Now apply your 2nd mascara (wipe excess mascara off on the bottle or a tissue) and do the same thing..

The real trick here is using something else that doesn't have product after you have applied the product. The product makes the eyelashes clump together and using something that is clean will remove some product and separate the lashes.


I have tried all the primers and stuff and they don't work for me.. this is the only method that really makes my lashes look great (fuller, longer and separated).. Also remember don't use your mascara after 3 months.. it will dry up and the separation process will be almost impossible.

At night I also put Vaseline on my eyelashes to keep them nice and conditioned.

Hope this helps!
