So, how does it work exactly? “The white lashes add dimension to a black lash set the same way any type of highlighting would work,” Keller says. In the same way that tattoos can be made to look brighter by adding hints of white to black-and-grey pieces, the same works for adding dimension to your lashes.
Beautician Joanne Dodds and celebrity makeup artist Elizabeth Rita, have shared their foolproof ways of boosting your lashes at home, without the need for eyelash extensions. “Before splashing out on expensive treatments, try these simple and cost-effective solutions that will help grow your eyelashes and keep them looking thick, healthy and natural,” says Joanne. So without further ado…
Check your diet
Focus on eating foods rich in protein and vitamins like fish, eggs, beans and soy protein, which will help your eyelashes to grow. The vitamin B complex known as Biotin helps to create longer and healthier eyelashes and hair, or chow down on lots of salmon, which is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids, helping to grow strong nails, shiny hair and long eyelashes.
Apply oils to your lashes
We love a natural beauty remedy here at Glamour, and you can boost your lashes with kitchen cupboard staples. How? Castor oil, olive oil, coconut oil and aloe vera all combined together and popped on every night with a clean disposable mascara wand will do the trick. “It takes persistence, but give it two months and you will see a massive difference, you will have thicker, healthier, longer and shinier lashes,” says Elizabeth.
There are also prescription-only treatments available, like Love Your Lashes from Skinfinity Cosmetic Clinic, which was developed after users of medication targeted at treating glaucoma began developing longer, fuller lashes.
