4 Tips To Achieve Lovely Lashes

The curtains to our eyes, our eyelashes are some of our most precious strands of hair we have. But years of coating them in mascara, weighing them down under false lashes and scrubbing at them with makeup remover could leave our lashes feeling worn out and brittle, as their lovely length is cut short. These four tips naturally deliver the effect we try to achieve through tubes of mascara, instead inspiring feathery and flirtatious lashes through love and care. —Julia Dumbrell

Go Natural | When wearing eye makeup, it’s key to ensure the removal process is proper and painstakingly gentle. Applying a clean and high-quality eye makeup remover makes all the difference, like the Clinique Naturally Gentle Eye Makeup Remover ($34). As a social calendar or Sunday reset allows it, lashes will also appreciate the room to breathe and longer break from eye makeup. 

Holistic Nutrition | Foods that support overall health and hair growth like protein, leafy greens and healthy fats will show the benefits from scalp to lashes. This holistic approach proves that hair and lash wellness starts from the inside out. See how spinach, kale or chard pack a nutritional punch, inspiring a healthier lifestyle for the lashes and beyond.

Serums Show Results | Use a product to inspire lash growth, lovingly applying a lash serum before or instead of mascara. Formulated with clean and vegan ingredients, we swear by the Vegamour GRO Lash Serum ($72). The plant-powered and science-backed haircare line is known for this product, which impressively fills out and visibly lengthens lashes.

Lifting and Grooming | Longer and thicker lashes can be achieved in just 45 minutes with an expert lash lift, offering the benefits of eyelash extensions with just eyelash adhesive and a curling tool. Lifted or not, maintain and groom the lashes beautifully with a simple, specialty brush like the Lash & Brow Comb by e.l.f. Cosmetics ($4).
