Your eye lashes are what frame and draw attention to your eyes. If you have skimpy eye lashes, or light colored eye lashes, then you may look faded when you aren’t wearing any makeup. If you want to add drama and beauty to your eye lashes then these tips are for you.

1. Curl Your Eye Lashes

One of the oldest methods for thickening the look of your eye lashes is to use an eye lash curler. This will help to create a vertical dimension to your lashes that will make them look thicker and sexier. To curl your lashes you will need an eye lash curler. Then you will want to take the curler and open it so that your lashes can be fit inside. Insert your lashes, crimp down, hold, and release. That’s all there is to it. You should note that you never want to curl your lashes after you apply your mascara.

2. Define Your Lash Line with Eye Shadow

To create the illusion of a thicker lash line all you need is eye shadow and an angled makeup brush. To start with select a color that either matches your regular eye liner, or that you will be using to line your eyes with. As you apply your eye shadow around your eye to line it, push the brush into your lash line. This will help to plump up your lash line and make you look like you have a thicker set of eye lashes.

3. Permanent Eye Lash Extensions

If you have skimpy eye lashes and you are tired of going through the steps needed to create the illusion of thicker lashes then you can get permanent eye lash extensions. This is an expensive way to get thicker lashes and it involves minor surgery. Permanent eye lash extensions are implanted just like a regular hair transplant. This one time process will involve the implantation of between 50 and 60 hairs into your lash line.

4. False Eye Lashes

If you don’t want to undergo surgery to thicken your eye lashes, then you can also use false eye lashes. False eye lashes come in two basic forms. The first form is a single piece false eye lash. To apply this type of false eye lash all you have to do is apply the special spirit gum to the lash and pinch it over your regular eye lashes. The second form that false eye lashes come in is as individual eye lash groups. When you buy this type of false eye lash set you will be able to select where you need a little extra volume. To apply them you will need spirit gum and tweezers.

5. Feed Your Lashes

Just like any other part of your body you need to provide your lashes with the proper nutrition to keep them healthy. One product that you can use to help improve the look and fullness of your eye lashes is eye lash oils. These products should be used between curlings to repair damage caused by the curler or crimper.
