How to Make Lash Lines Appear Thicker
- 1). Begin by applying eye makeup primer on clean oil-free lids.
- 2). Finish your usual application of eyeshadow, keeping your lid color light for optimum results.
- 3). Use a black highly pigmented eyeliner to work color into top lash lines, making sure you get the product in between each lash. Even out your look by also running an eyeliner over your bottom lash lines, but keep the shade softer so as to not get too dramatic. Smudge lightly with an angled eyeliner brush to soften just a little bit. Use the same brush to stroke black liquid eyeliner over the highly pigmented liner already worked into the base of your top lashes. This adds drama and definition, but more naturally than if you were to use the very precise applicator that comes packaged with your liquid liner.
- 4). Run the black pencil you used earlier along the rims of your top lids. This further solidifies the appearance of your lash bed, making it seem as though it were more densely packed with lashes. Curl eyelashes. Wiggle black lengthening and thickening mascara through top lashes, concentrating on getting more product on the base, where the lash growth is, instead of on the tips where clumping is more likely to occur. De-clump, if necessary with a small lash comb. Touch mascara wand lightly to bottom lashes. It is not necessary to excessively define them, unless you are purposely going for this effect.
- 5). Attach false individual lashes to your top lash line from the point of your pupil towards outer edges. This is an optional step, but it is a more natural alternative to applying an entire strip lash to your lids. Try it to get not just the depth of color but the actual texture of fullness to your lash lines, too. After the adhesive dries, run mascara through the tips of your fake lashes to make them match yours in appearance.
