Priming your lashes can actually make a huge difference in keeping your mascara on your lashes. It can really help your mascara go the extra mile, plus some formulas even help to condition your lashes, which can help them be healthier in the long run. Estee Lauder Lash Primer Plus, $26, is a favorite amongst TotalBeauty.com readers, in case you're looking for a new formula.
If you love different mascaras for different reasons, why not combine them to make a super mascara? All you have to do is add a volumizing formula like Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, $23, to a lengthening formula like CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara by LashBlast, $7.99, and you've totally got it made in the shade.
Have you heard about the wonders baby powder can do for your lashes? It's simple as can be, especially since most of us have it lying around the house — and it adds volume like dynamite. All you have to do is dust a little onto your lashes between coats of mascara, and you'll find yourself building up major volume.
If the baby powder mascara tip is a little too DIY for your taste, a product like Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers, $21, can achieve a similar effect. The fibers adhere to your lashes for a volumizing and lengthening boost.
Of course, there are also mascara formulas that come with their own fibers, in case you don't feel like adding an extra step to your makeup routine. Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, $8.99, is a very popular (yet affordable) option.
