Not everyone is blessed with long lashes. However, that shouldn’t be a problem, thanks to the many methods that enhance your lashes even if they are short and not as full. Extensions and false lashes are not the only solutions; use them as your last resort. In many cases, mascara can do the trick and make short and thin lashes look long and voluminous. Applying mascara correctly plays an important role. Try some mascara tips by professionals and get your lashes to look naturally long and thick.

• Brush through your lashes

Before applying mascara, brush through the lashes with an old mascara brush or an eyebrow brush. Comb through the lashes before you put on the mascara. As an extra step, after applying the mascara, brush through your lashes as well. Make sure the wand coats every single hair to create a more defined look.

• Apply the mascara in a zig-zag motion

To ensure that you coat your lashes evenly, apply the mascara in a zig-zag motion from the root of the lash to the tip. This ensures that the lashes are coated well, especially if they are short. This will also add some volume to the lashes. To enhance the appearance, apply mascara on both sides of the lashes and also on the bottom lash.

• Use eyelash curlers

Eyelash curlers are a must-use if you have short and thin eyelashes. They make your eyelashes stand out because of the curl. This makes it easier to apply the mascara on the eyelash. Another tip suggests warming the eyelash curler with a hairdryer before use. You can warm it for a few seconds before using it as this makes the eyelash stay in shape.

• Opt for a lengthening and voluminous mascara

One of the top tips for short eyelashes is to use a lengthening and voluminous mascara. They make the eyelashes stand out and look like you have had extensions.

• Use a double coat of mascara

Yes, you read it right. Double-up on mascara by applying two coats. Apply one coat and then another coat. However, make sure you apply it before it dries up as the second coat may not stick well to a dried-up coat, making your eyes look spidery.

• Use curved mascara brushes

Curved brushes are flexible and coat both short and long lashes well. Curved brushes are ideal for lower lashes too. This tip is followed by many professionals to make short lashes look longer and fuller.

• Avoid dense brushes
  

Many have the misconception that dense brushes make the lashes look thicker. However, that is not the case always. A dense brush can overcoat the lashes and weigh them down. Dense brushes also prevent the easy application of mascara on short lashes. A curved light brush will do the trick of a better look than a dense brush.

Try these tips to make short lashes look long and thick, giving your eyes a fabulous look.
