Use a new mascara that wont clump. before the mascara dries, use an eyelash curler. when they are dry, go over them with another layer of mascara

I make mine appear to be long and thick by curling them with an eyelash curler and then applying 2 coats of black mascara.

Mascara and a curler. If you want the results to last forever tho… start buying revitalash. Its expensive but within 6 months you’ll have longer lashes fuller lashes more lashes…. it comes out to about 75 cents a day i think it was… it runs about $145 a tube it lasts about 6 months.

Use volumizing + lenghtening black mascara. You can find this in any drugstore or beauty supply store. Apply the mascara like this:
1. Curl your eyelashes with a curler first (as to avoid breakage later)
2. Then coat the top of the upper lashes (try to start from the roots and then press the wand down until the tip to get all the lashes)
3. Now coat underneath the upper lashes (again, try to apply a lot of mascara without clumping)
4. Your lashes should now be coated thickly in mascara and perhaps even a little clumped. This is fine. Run the wand along the bottom of your upper lashes while looking up, using quick flicking strokes to “comb” the lashes with the wand and get all the clumps out
5. Run the wand underneath the upper lashes again, this time horizontally to separate the lashes
6. Curl your eyelashes again, except don’t press too hard or you will leave a visible crease (try to squeeze as close to the roots and as gently as you can)
7. Coat the bottom lashes with mascara as best as you can holding your wand horizontally
8. Now hold the wand vertically and run it across your bottom lashes (moving your hand from side to side)
Hopefully if you’ve done it correctly, your lashes should look very dramatic. Don’t worry about small clumps, they will make your eyelashes look fuller and more dramatic (since it’s Halloween). However, if you have large clumps, try using the wand (running it horizontally from side to side) to get it out. Try not to use your fingers because that will smudge the mascara and may clump lashes further.

DIOR DIORSHOW MASCARA BEST BY FAR MY REVIEW
DIORSHOW MASCARA 5 STARS
Dior Diorshow Mascara Dior’s cult-fave, super volumizing, lengthening, and curling mascara.What it is formulated to do:Creates the longest, thickest, curviest lashes ever, resulting in an ultra-glam “just-off-the-catwalk” look. I’ve worn mascara since I was a teenager. If a quarter century of buying & wearing the stuff means anything, then the fact that this is the best I’ve ever used means something, too. Yes, it’s more expensive than the teeny-wanded stuff that flakes or smudges off within an hour, leaving you looking droopey-eyed or worse. I purchased this in Azure and literally have lost track of the number of compliments I’ve received on it: It’s not the cheesy blue of the 1970s–this is a luxurious tanzanite blue (one that a friend noticed matched my motorcycle leathers).
After trying just about every mascara on the market this is the best in show. Now I know why the Sephora that I always go to never has any black in stock.
This mascara gives you full, thick, beautiful lashes and it doesn’t clump, flake or smear. You can even rub your eye when it itches and there is no dark smear under your eye.
I am happy to report that I can dispose of the 7 other mascaras in my makeup bag as this is the only one that I will be using from now on. I have tried every kind and brand of mascara that I thought might make my whimpy lashes look full: Borjouis, Benefit, Stilla, Urban Decay, Revlon, Loreal, Cover Girl, Almay, Max Factor, you name it and I have tried it.
The only mascara that I had purchased more than once is the Loreal Voluminous mascara and my old faithful Borjouis Volume Glamour mascara (the one with the pink lid) both of which work well but are missing something. Now I have one that’s perfect and I don’t need to try any new ones, I will definitely purchase this mascara again.
TOP AND WORST EYE MASCARAS AND MAKE UPS
Must-have for the summer! Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
I suffer from oily lids in the summer and this is the only product that keeps my eyeshadow, mascara, and eyeliner in place. Nothing smudges!
VERY BLACK & VERY WET Dior Diorshow Black Out - Spectacular Volumnizing Black Kohl
What attracted me to this mascara was Dior’s suggestion to layer this on top of a coat of the original Diorshow. It definately created a more dramatic, sexy look. You have to be careful not to over-do it otherwise you end up with spider legs for lashes. Unlike the the original Diorshow (which I actually prefer), this is very wet and has a tendency to get goopy. It’s not foolproof, but with careful application, works wonders in getting jet black, thick lashes. It also flakes less than the original Diorshow.
Creates the perfect curl and built to last! Shiseido Eyelash Curler
The most perfectly designed eyelash curler. The base is curved perfectly to fit the eye and doesn’t pinch. As long as you replace the pad every 3 months, it gives you a soft, pretty curl - absolutely no crimping! They’re constructed so well that I can’t tell the difference between my 7 year old one and the newer one I recently purchased as a spare.
Stays put and easy to fix up mistakes. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner
I love this eye liner. I’ve had my “Bronze” gel liner for over 4 months and it hasn’t dried out one bit (even after discovering I left the lid barely screwed on a few times). Stays on all day and doesn’t fade. Easy to wash off. Excellent. I will be buying more colors.
Perfect “everyday” mascara. Lancome Definicils Mascara
Perfect for work when you don’t have much time in the mornings to use an eyelash comb - the formula is smooth and virtually clump-free. The thin narrow brush also allows you to get to every single lash in the corners of eyes. No fuss, flake-free, “natural” looking mascara.
Won’t budge - nice texture. MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil
I like that this doesn’t “tug” at my lid when I’m drawing a line along my lash line. Not as smooth as liquid/gel liners of course, but a nice texture. Stays put the whole day even on my oily lids.
Temporary growth and fullness. Talika Lipocils Eyelash Conditioning Gel
My eyelashes did seem to appear more lush when I used this after the 3rd week, but after the tube ran out, the results went away! I was surprised there weren’t any cumulative effects that stayed. Too expensive to keep purchasing. I would have rated this a 10 if only my eyelashes wouldn’t revert back to the same condition they were in before I began using this!
