How to Make Your Eyelashes Look Thicker

So, making your eyelashes look thicker...what can you do? You may not be born with thick lashes, but it is perfectly possible to fake long, thick eyelashes.
  1. Curl Your Eyelashes. Do it three times for best results. Get an eyelash curler and use it right next to your lash line, in the middle of the length of your lashes, and last of all at the tips of your eyelashes. Make sure you hold the eyelash curler closed for five seconds each time you use it. 
  2. Make Your Mascara Last. Dust loose powder onto your lashes (make sure you keep your eyes closed for this one!) to create a base for your mascara. 
  3. Apply the Mascara. Apply one coat of lengthening mascara. Then, before it dries, apply a second coat. Put the brush at your lashline and wiggle it to create volume before you sweep it out to the ends of your lashes. Remove clumps with a finger, or a lash comb. 
  4. Apply Eyeliner. Make sure the eyeliner pencil is freshly sharpened so it's nice and pointy. Apply it to your top lids really as close to the lash line as possible, so it all blends together with the mascara. Make it thin and natural, or thick and smudged for smoky eyes.
At the end of every day, make sure that you remove your eyeliner and mascara with the rest of your makeup that your eyelashes are perfectly clean for the next day's application. To do this, dab a little bit of makeup remover or baby oil on a cotton ball.
