Other than eyebrows, eyelashes can make a big impact. What girl doesn’t want think and long lashes we all grew up with our female female cartoon characters sporting long lashes, think Minnie Mouuse or Barbie. I have tried eyelash extension and have loved having them but the truth is they will ruin your natural lashes and it gets pretty pricey (about $100/month).

Nowadays I use two tools for nice lashes. The first is my Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler. I can do a whole post on just this curler because you will find this in every top makeup artist’s bag from Pat McGrath to Mario Dedivanovic. Most recently Karl Lagerfeld put his own unique touch on the famous eyelash curler.

My favourite mascara is Benefit’s They’re Real. It’s a bit more pricey but well worth the price.  This mascara will give length and volume to your lashes and it will not cause any clumping. I guarantee that you love this easy to use mascara!

If you are on a budget, a mascara that I really do love and find myself using at the moment is Rimmel London’s Scandaleyes Mascara. It gives me lots of volume and length is very easy to build.

Steps to beautiful lashes:

1. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and keep for 12 seconds
2. Apply mascara while looking down so you really get it from the lash line
3. Build up the length by lightly going over with your mascara
