How to Get Fuller Eyelashes

It’s one thing to have long eyelashes. It’s another to have long, full, lush eyelashes that are so lovely, you look like you’re wearing mascara even when you’re bare-faced! While growing your eyelashes longer is important for a naturally beautiful look, growing more eyelashes that are also thicker is ideal. There are lots of tips for getting and keeping full, thick eyelashes. Here are a few of our favorites!

Stimulation for fuller eyelashes

Stimulating your eyelashes not only promotes growth for longer eyelashes, but it also promotes growth for growing more eyelashes, which creates an overall fuller and thicker look. Try brushing your lashes every morning and evening (when your eyelashes are clean!) with a mascara comb or a clean spoolie. Start from the roots and gently brush upwards.

Mascara

If you’re trying to instantly get fuller eyelashes, you can always use mascara! Look for mascara formulas designed to “plump” or “thicken” eyelashes. When you are applying your mascara, use the wand in a “zigzagging” motion to evenly apply the mascara. To make your mascara work harder, try starting with a white or clear mascara primer. Not only will this help the mascara last longer, but it will also help the formula work its best. “Mixing” mascara can also help give you a fuller eyelash look. Try mixing brown and black mascara for a very natural look, or a lengthening and volumizing mascara together.

Baby powder

Another crazy (and simple) trick to getting fuller looking eyelashes instantly involves a product you probably already have in the house: baby powder! Simply apply a coat of mascara, then quickly and gently dust on some baby powder on your still wet lashes. Then, apply another coat of mascara! The baby powder gives the mascara a thicker hold, which as a result makes your eyelashes look longer, thicker, and fuller!

False eyelashes

As we love to recommend, you can always use false eyelashes to get just the perfect full, thick eyelash look instantly! Try your favorite styles to get the look that you want. Want to fill in areas along your eyelid where your eyelashes seem sparse? That’s the perfect opportunity to apply individual false eyelashes! While again, it’s not a permanent fix, false eyelashes are a great way to fake fuller, thicker lashes while you treat your existing eyelashes to grow healthier.

Live healthy for fuller eyelashes

And speaking of healthier: Just as you must do in order to grow longer eyelashes, in order to grow thicker, fuller eyelashes, you have to stay healthy overall! Make sure you eat healthy, sleep well, and stay hydrated. Your hair, nails, and eyelashes too, look their healthiest when you are at your healthiest!

In terms of your diet, make sure you’re eating plenty of protein! Just like your hair and nails, eyelashes are made of proteins. If you’re eating plenty of protein, your lashes will be stronger, longer, and fuller. Soon, you won’t need all that mascara!
