How to Get Beautiful Eyelashes

Kimberly Scott
Every woman wants beautiful, long eyelashes. The eyes are called the window to the soul, and they are often what attracts a guy first to a girl. So how do you get them noticed? Below are eight steps to tell you how you can make your eyes shine.

1. Wear mascara or false eyelashes. All eyes are beautiful, but they are more noticeable if they are surrounded by dark, alluring eyelashes. However, girls should not wear mascara until they are at least thirteen- and preferably older yet.

2. Curl your lashes. It's most helpful to have a lash curler for this job, but it can also be done with your fingers or with your mascara wand. After applying your mascara, squeeze your lashes with the curler until they dry. Curling your lashes opens up your eyes, making them appear larger.

3. Bigger is not always better. Using huge amounts of mascara or huge false lashes will look unnatural, which is generally not considered attractive. Choose your false eyelashes wisely, and when using mascara put it on in layers rather than a large amount all at once.

4. Use individual false eyelashes. If you prefer false lashes to mascara, use small individual stick-ons rather than strips. They are much more natural, and look similar to mascara-painted eyelashes.

5. Don't wear dark eye shadow. Because most mascaras are dark, they stand out better against lighter surfaces. Bare lids or soft colors of shadow will really showcase your eyelashes.

6. Keep your eyebrows tidy. If your eyebrows are scruffy, they will decrease the beauty of your eyelashes. Keep them clean and well shaped to keep your eyes beautiful and noticeable.

7. Don't put on huge amounts of makeup. Too much makeup decreases the face's beauty as a whole. Focus on one particular aspect of your face- in this case, the eyelashes- to really make them stand out.

8. Apply mascara to your bottom lashes. Doing this will give you a lovely, doe-eyed look. If you are concerned about getting dark rings, place a tissue under the lashes when applying it. You may also want to leave mascara off the lower eyelashes on rainy days to forestall smudging.

These eight steps towards lovely eyelashes will really showcase the beauty of your eyes. Try them out, and listen for the compliments that are sure to come from your family, friends, and maybe even that cute guy in class.
