Eyelash curler comes in handy to make your lashes appear thicker. To achieve this, you have to first curl your lashes before going on to apply your mascara. It gives your eyelashes some curve and an illusion of an extension. Just make sure you aim for a curl that looks natural rather than a sharp bend.

If you don’t have a lash curler, use a spoon. Simply hold the edge of the spoon to your lash roots while the inner side faces out. Then use your thumb to press your lashes up around the edge of the spoon. Afterwards, move your thumb upwards on your lashes to smoothen them out so they can look longer

2. Apply Multiple Coats of Your Mascara

When applying your mascara, you have to first apply from root to tip on both eyes. Then apply a second coat, this time around, from the tip to the root of your lashes. This will help straighten out and lengthen your lashes, making it look thicker.

Furthermore, when using your mascara, go for one that has a thin, fine-tooth wand. This will enable you achieve precision especially if your lashes are short.

3. Condition Your Lashes with Natural Oils

Natural Oils like coconut oil, shea butter, almond oil, etc., are needed to spur the growth of your lashes while healing damaged ones. You can use any of them to condition your eyelashes overnight or before you apply your makeup.

4. Apply a Lash Growth Product

Just like natural oils, a lash growth product will help to lengthen your lashes. However, before applying any lash growth serum, you have to be sure they pose no side effects.

Writing has always been a part of me. From writing stories as a young child to studying Communication Arts in the university, it has always been more than a medium of expression to me.

And then one day, I found myself toeing the path of an entrepreneur and becoming a fashion enthusiast. This made me develop an interest in content marketing and copywriting which I've been chasing alongside my fashion career.

That aside, when I'm not sharing style articles, selling with stories, or creating fashion-forward pieces for Ria Kosher, you'll find me telling wild stories that always come with a twist.
