Long and lush eyelashes are a classic beauty look, and it’s no wonder that so many people want to get them without having to resort to using mascara. Mascaras can be tricky to apply correctly, and they often don’t last as long as you would like them too. Luckily, there are a few easy steps you can take to help your eyelashes grow longer without having to use mascara.
Curl Your Lashes
The first step in getting longer eyelashes is curling them. Curling your lashes helps open up the eyes and make the lashes appear longer than they actually are. You can use an eyelash curler or even just wrap a tissue around your finger before pressing it against the base of the lash line for a similar effect. It is important not to curl too much though, as this could cause damage or breakage of the lashes over time.
Use Olive Oil
Olive oil is one of nature’s best kept secrets when it comes to helping eyelashes grow thicker and longer without makeup. All you need is some pure olive oil (not extra virgin) on a cotton swab or q-tip and gently massage it into the roots of your eyelashes every night before bedtime. The nutrients in olive oil will nourish the hair follicles while also strengthening them which leads to more length retention over time with regular use.
Tightline Your Eyes
Tightlining refers to applying liner along the inner rim of your eye socket between each individual lash strand rather than directly onto the lid itself like traditional liner does. This method makes your lashes appear fuller and thicker due to its placement close enough that people cannot see any skin underneath them when looking straight at someone’s face—which adds depth that mascara alone cannot achieve! To do this correctly, all you need is either an angled brush dipped into gel liner or a liquid pen with black ink specifically designed for tightlining purposes only!
Use Petroleum Jelly
Petroleum jelly has been used for centuries as a remedy for various skin ailments, but did you know that it also works wonders in making lashes appear fuller? All you have to do is apply some petroleum jelly onto clean fingertips, then lightly massage it into the lash roots right before going to sleep at night! This will give the nutrients necessary for growing healthy hairs while protecting them from becoming brittle due to the breaking down of natural oils produced by our bodies throughout the day—allowing us to wake up the next morning feeling refreshed with lusciously thickened lashes!
Take Biotin Supplements
Biotin supplements can be taken orally daily in order to strengthen weak strands while encouraging new growth, making sure both remain strong despite harsh environmental conditions such as windy days outdoors! Taking these regularly will result in noticeable differences within weeks, since the vitamins found in these products promote health from the inside out, providing essential building blocks needed to create healthier-looking hair follicles all around, including those surrounding our eyes’ delicate area where mascara is usually applied most often, leading to further damage over time if left untreated… So why not try supplementing instead? Not only will you be saving yourself future hassle, but also money spent on buying expensive mascaras again once yours runs out soon enough anyway!
