A few incredibly lucky women are naturally blessed with gorgeous brows and lashes, but the rest of us have to work a little harder to get the look we want.
While brow gel and mascara can go a long way, it's still always the (ever evasive) dream to achieve those big eyes and fierce brows right when you wake up. While we aren't miracle workers, and we can't change your genetics, we do have a little advice to get you closer to that dream.
Here are 6 tips to help you achieve your best brows and lashes:
PUT DOWN THE TWEEZERS! Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by brows of the 90s. You know what we’re talking about… those skinny, over plucked, horrifying brows that were ridiculously popular (and also just ridiculous) in the 90s and early 2000s. Many of us are still recovering from this eyebrow abuse, and it’s very hard to stay away from the tweezers while we’re in the recovery process. But just like you need to stop picking at your face to clear up your acne, you need to stop tweezing your brows to get them back to their natural glory. If you need a brow cleanup, let a professional take care of you.
Try castor oil. Castor oil is rumored to encourage hair growth in follicles that have been damaged thanks to over plucking or waxing. Believers claim that it's the holy grail, and we think it can’t hurt to try!
Use a lash enhancer like GrandeLASH. If you want something a little more clinically supported than castor oil, GrandeLASH is for you. Lash enhancers have come a long way since they first appeared on the market, and GrandeLASH is our favorite by a long shot. This award-winning lash enhancing serum is infused with vitamins, antioxidants, and amino acids to promote naturally longer, thicker-looking lashes in just four to six weeks. You can expect to see full results in three months for nearly half the price of other popular lash enhancers.
Use quality mascara and throw out the old stuff. Your old mascara could be harming your lashes AND your vision. Bacteria growth on old makeup is very common and can cause eye infections and lash loss. Just say no!
Get a lash lift and tint. Okay, so we might be biased, but lash lifts are very popular right now and that’s because they are LIFE CHANGING! If there’s anything that can make you look simultaneously natural and glamorous, a lash lift/tint is it. A lash lift is a technique (preferably performed by a licensed professional, like us!) designed to give you longer-looking beautiful lashes without the need for lash extensions lasting 8 to 12 weeks.
Get a brow tint. If you haven't had a professional brow tint you are missing out on one of life's greatest beauty tricks. A brow tint will make you appear naturally more youthful (especially if they're a little silver) and brighten up your face. Brows are very in right now, but you don't need a miracle to boost what your mama gave you.
