When it comes to eye makeup, there is one thing that we never leave the house without -- lashes that look longer with every eye-batting.
To make your lashes look longer, there are three methods you can try. First, use a lengthening mascara with a formula that lifts and holds a curl or contains tiny fibers that extend lash tips. Second, consider false lashes for a more dramatic effect, applying them carefully with glue for a natural look. Lastly, try the baby powder trick by applying a light layer of baby powder to your lashes after curling them and before applying mascara. This can add volume and length for a false eyelash look.
Here are our top five choices for products that make your lashes longer:
False Lashes: Mink Envy Lashes Sade or Mocha
Mink Envy's Sade lashes offer a natural look with varying lengths, adding volume and longer winged ends. The Mocha lashes, on the other hand, have a uniform 16-millimeter length, offering a consistent, glamorous look. Both are cruelty-free and can be reused up to 25 times with care.
False Lashes: Lilly Lashes Click Magnetic
Lilly Lashes Click Magnetic offers a range of vegan, reusable, and trimmable magnetic lashes with micro-magnets for easy application and all-day comfort. Free of harsh chemicals and fragrances, these lashes are gentle on the eyes. Crafted from luxurious, vegan, and faux-synthetic material, they use 12 micro-magnets for secure attachment to the Click Magnetic Felt Tip Eyeliner.
With proper care, these lashes can be reused up to 50 times, making them a sustainable choice.
Mascara: L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise
The L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise mascara delivers a full lash fringe that's soft and feathery, without flaking, smudging, or clumping. It provides 20 times more volume and up to twice as much length, as proven by a consumer study. Pair it with L'Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Mechanical Pencil Eyeliner for a complete, long-lasting eye makeup look that stays put for up to 16 hours.
MAC Cosmetics MACStack Mascara
This buildable mascara by MAC Cosmetics is a game-changer, offering infinite layers of volume and length. Its clump- and flake-resistant formula allows for customizable volume, from natural to dramatic, and instant length.
The mascara comes with two brush sizes tailored to your lash needs: the Superstack Mega Brush for longer or upper lashes and the Superstack Micro Brush for shorter or lower lashes.
Stack on the volume by pressing the brush into lashes and shimmying from roots to tips for a bold, beautiful look that lasts all day.
Era Organics Baby Powder Talc-Free Dusting Powder
This talc-free dusting powder by Era Organics is a gentle and nourishing powder suitable for delicate skin. Made with organic arrowroot powder, cornstarch, kaolin clay, calendula extract, and rosemary extract, it's perfect for soothing and protecting sensitive, irritated skin.
Using it to lengthen your lashes is easy. After curling your lashes and applying mascara, lightly dust the powder onto your lashes using a cotton swab. Finish with another coat of mascara for dramatically longer and fuller lashes, giving you a false eyelash look.
