Eyelashes: Thick, Long and Shiny

Ironically, thick and long eyelashes have been related to feminine character when most of the men have thicker and shinier eyelashes than women. Whereas, then those women who desire to have attractive eyelashes can fulfill the desire either with some make-up tricks or by growing them long naturally.

Understanding Eyelashes Growth

Eyelashes have a specific cycle of growth. It is a misconception that trimming of eyelashes can help them grow longer. Also, if you are using fake eyelashes and accidently pull your own eyelashes while removing the make up, chances are the re-growth will need several weeks. Therefore, you must take care of your natural eyelashes.

Instant long eye lashes

This can be achieved by using mascara. Most women use just one coat of mascara and they even do not let it dry. Mascara can actually make your eyelashes look thicker and longer but a little patience is need.

Always apply mascara after you are done with your eye make-up. Let the first coat of mascara dry. It should roughly take 30 seconds (time varies for different products). Reapply the second coat and let it dry. Do not apply just to a certain part of the eyelash and always start from the tip to the end. Use an eyelash curler for perfect finishing.

Most women use eyelash lengthening cream and lotions to boost growth. Make sure these products are hypo-allergenic.

Natural Remedies

Natural remedies may take time to show results but the results are long lasting. Olive oil, castor oil, sweet almonds oil and Vaseline give you the perfect eye lashes.

Few drops of either of these oils can be applied on the upper eye lid. Gently massage with the oil so that they are entirely covered with the oil. Take care that the oil does not enter into the eyes.

Studies have shown that Vaseline (petroleum jelly) can actually make the eyelashes grow longer and shinier. Simply apply a thin coat on the eyelashes just as you apply mascara. These remedies must only be done during night.

Care

Protect your eyelashes from excess dirt and dust by wearing glasses. Splash water often and keep them clean. Basic eye care tips work well in protecting eyelashes too.
