Lashes
First use a lash comb to separate. Next curl the lashes with an eyelash curler and comb again to give good separation. Curling your lashes can make an eye-opening difference, but a lot of eyelash curlers can be pretty scary to use. It's so easy to catch your skin with them as you squeeze. Maybelline's experts eyes lash curler is a good choice but the lash curler of choice is by Tweezerman. Choose a mascara close to or darker than your hair color. I use a dark brown. Lightly wipe mascara wand on a Kleenex before using it on lashes. Apply mascara to top and bottom of upper lash. The application on the top helps thicken when you do the underside. When applying to underside, start at the base of the lashes and sweep upward and outward. When doing the lower lashes use only the tip of the brush, sweeping across each lash until darkened. Many of us have very few lower lashes anyway. I understand that doing the lower lashes makes us older girls look older, but I do it regardless. Just brush lightly back and forth across the the lower lashes with the brush held as shown in the far right picture below. If you can just not get the look you want using these methods, purchase some false eye lashes. You can even try the individual kind to augment what you have. Good luck on trying individual lashes. My hand is just not ready for that.
