Many professional dancers rely heavily on false eyelashes, however this may not be a luxury for every dancer. It is possible grow, maintain and curl your lashes quickly and easily for that dramatic wide-eyed look often only achieved by false lashes.
Nothing is more of an eye-opener than having long, thick, curled lashes. Beautiful lashes are a sign of health and as they are hair, they require good health and vitamins. Vitamin B can help increase hair growth and strength by eating foods such as cauliflower, salmon, bananas, carrots, egg yolks, sardines and mushrooms.
Curling lashes opens the eyes and makes lashes look longer. Position an eyelash curler as close to the roots of your lashes as possible without pinching your skin. Clamp gently, and hold in place for a few seconds. Move the curler a little farther out, and very lightly press again, and so on. Avoid curling them daily as this can stress lashes and don’t curl them with mascara on!
Use mascara to your advantage: hypoallergenic mascara is for sensitive eyes and this is especially helpful for contact lense wearers. Any mascara that can be irritating can also cause lashes to fall out. Remember waterproof mascara should be used just for the beach or pool, not for every day as this formula can be drying and difficult to remove, again causing stress to the lashes.
Use lengthening and volumizing mascaras to layer the formulas for longer and thicker lashes, and/or use a black, dark brown, navy or black eye liner in between the lashes and along the lash roots of the upper lashes to increase the illusion of thicker lashes at the base line. Remove mascara properly and brush your lashes with olive oil before bed to help lashes grow thicker.
