As long as you're heating your mascara, you can also heat up your eyelash curler ... using your blow dryer. It'll turn your lash curler into a mini curling iron, which will give you a longer-lasting curl. All the better to douse with curl-enhancing mascara, right?

Tightlining your eyes can actually make your lashes look fuller, which is a great way to subtly boost your mascara game. An eyeliner specially formulated for the waterline like Urban Decay's 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil, $20, is great for the job.
