What women do for thick eye lashes…we spend hours looking in the mirror, painstakingly applying mascara, eye liner, eye shadow to create the illusion of lush, thick eye lashes. Eye lashes are alluring, and really make your face pop, so we love a good tutorial that makes faking thick lashes quick and easy. This tutorial from Amy Clarke is the end all for creating the illusion of thicker lashes. Finally, you won’t have to spend hours prepping in the mirror to create the perfect eye!
Fake Thicker Lashes:
1. Apply one mascara, starting at the base of your lashes, wiggling the mascara wand back and forth until you reach the ends of your lashes. We used Rimmel’s Extra Wow Lash Mascara.
2. Using a small eyeshadow brush, apply a loose powder to your lashes, coating all sides. I used Laura Mercier’s Loose Setting Powder in “Translucent”.
3. Then, apply one more coat of mascara. But this time, just brush upward with the mascara wand, coating the top and bottom of your lashes.
One bonus trick: Use tweezers to pinch the ends of your lashes together in little sections. This almost gives an illusion of false lashes.
