The Ten Lashes Commandments

There's no denying it - every girl wants a set of eyelashes that are going to blow people away. Although these little hairs are just there to protect our eyelids, many women enjoy using them as a tool to make themselves look even more beautiful. I for one, have learnt from experience that the trick to perfect lashes is trial and error! So what's the secret to perfect lashes? Here are my top 10 rules to live by when it comes to the perfect eyelashes. In order to make the most of what you naturally have:

1. Thou shalt not go to bed with makeup on. Any left over residue of mascara from the day will dry out your lashes and usually cause them to fall out.

2. Thou shalt not be addicted to extensions and curlers. These things are very damaging for your lashes. 

3. Thou shalt not search for the "perfect mascara". There are many factors to consider - the type of lashes you have, the brush, the composition of the formula itself etc. Find the one that is perfect for YOU!

4. Thou shalt not be afraid to use two different mascaras. For example, I use one mascara to separate and define my lashes and another mascara to add depth and thickness. 

5. Thou shalt not only apply to the middle of the eye. There's no point just using mascara in the middle of your eye - the inner and outer corners make a big impact so make sure you show them attention too!

6. Thou shalt believe in the power of the extra coat. It's okay to apply a few coats, but not all at once. Give the mascara some time to set, switch over to your other eye and then come back to the other one. 

7. Thou shalt not use the same mascara forever. Mascara isn't meant to last you a lifetime so after 3 months or so, make sure you toss it! There does come a time when it stops working like it did when you first got it. 

8. Thou shalt not deny the wiggle. Make sure you wiggle the wand from the base of the lashes upward softly rather than just one big motion upwards. 

9. Thou shalt not be a serial "pump in and out" victim.  Please oh please, do not pump the wand in and out like a crazy person! You're not getting any more of the product on there, and you are drying out the formula quicker than you need to. 

10. Thou shalt not let the lashes be dry. Since wearing mascara daily can really dry out your lashes, you can pop a dab of Vaseline or Almond Oil to the base of your lashes before going to bed. 

My absolute favourite mascara is Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara. It is such a God send and works wonders. My lashes aren't exactly the easiest to curl, however this mascara lengthens and curls my lashes very well. This is definitely one beauty product I will continue to purchase.
