7 Tips to get gorgeous lashes

1. Vibrating Mascara

Yes, there is such a product! If your lashes are looking a little dull, why not invest in one of these beauties. What makes this unique product different to all other mascaras is that it releases micropulses per second, as you use it – therefore enhancing the volume of your lashes whilst applying product evenly. Product Recommendation: Estée Lauder TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara, R465.

2. Eyelash Extensions

They seem to be one of the hottest trends right now in the celebrity world. Kim Kardashian certainly couldn’t do without them! Some words of advice when going for eyelash extensions:
a) Go to someone who is well-known for doing lash extensions and is highly recommended; b) If you have a function that you’d like to attend, have your lashes done at least three days before the event; c) Rather opt for a natural length eyelashes – you don’t want to look over the top.

3. Falsies

Great for themed parties – one hardly goes unnoticed when sporting a false lash. In my opinion, the bolder, the better! If you’re stuck for an outfit for New Year’s Eve, rock a pair of sexy false lashes and you’ll be the star of the show.

4. The Eyelash Curler

It’s one of the most commonly used beauty tools in the world and is really one that you shouldn’t fear! All an eyelash curler does is gently bends the lashes. This instantly opens up your eye and creates a fresher look.

5. Eyelash Tinting

Tinting your eyelashes is a great way to enhance the general appearance of your eyes. It’s recommended for those who don’t have time to apply make-up on a daily basis, or who participate in sport. Ask your beauty therapist to recommend the colour you should tint your lashes if you’re unsure.

6. Eyelash Serum

If you want fuller lashes, why not try an eyelash serum? Rapid Lash, for example, is an eyelash serum with a formula that nourishes and strengthens your eyelashes and makes them grow in just 4-8 weeks. For more information on Rapid Lash, visit www.rapidlash.co.za.

7. Cult Product

If all of the above scares the life out of you, then I suggest that you try one of the best-selling mascaras in the world, Maybelline Great Lash in blackest black (R89,95). It’s an affordable and trusted product that gives great results (plus, it’s waterproof). You cannot go wrong with this gem!
