6 Ways to Get the Biggest, Baddest Lashes EverDitch the falsies and get big, bold lashes for real with these nourishing serums, mascaras and creams |
By Prescription Only
It's not very often that a prescription drug has covetable, make-me-beautiful side effects. But old lady eye drops Lumigan, designed to treat glaucoma, were found to do just that. Enter Latisse: a cosmetic version for inadequate lashes. More than just a lash-lengthener, it also makes lashes fuller and darker. Score!
To reduce the risk of side effects like darkening along the lash line, don't be sloppy with your application. Dr. Wu says to apply the serum at night after removing your makeup and contacts (if you wear them). Wait 15 minutes for your skin to fully dry and then get it as close to your lash line as possible. Look down while it dries to prevent it from migrating up your eyelid.
Another (off-label) tip from Dr. Wu: After you apply it along your lash line, use the rest on your brows. Ta-dah! Say hello to power lashes and brows in four weeks.
