Full Lashes without the Falsies



Long and voluminous lashes are the key to a bold or subtle eye.  With all the different mascaras how do we know which one to choose? Well Despite the brand, here’s the trick.


Step 1 Take the tip of the mascara brush and  gently swipe it across the root of the eyelash.

Step 2 Take the brush and work through the lashes using a side to side motion from root to tip.

Step 3 Wait a couple minutes (Apply the rest of your make up) and repeat Step 2.

The extra mascara applied at the root of the lash allows for fullness and the motion prevents clumping, this way your lashes are expanded and you get the volume you desisre.
