Baffled by the magnitude of lashes on the models in mascara ads? Your lashes may not get the extreme length and volume of the false lashes that are applied for those pictures, but you can get close if you follow a few steps.
1. CURL
Using a lash curler, clamp at the roots, the center, and tip for 5 seconds each.
2. PRIME
The hottest tool in the cosmetics business right now is lash primer serum, which allows you to use less mascara for the same, or greater effect. (Using less mascara means a less-clumpy, more natural look.)

3. MASCARA
You want to add length AND volume, so go for a good quality brand. You can spend $10 each at a drug store on one that volumizes and one that lengthens, when you can just get one good one that does both! Work from the outside in, jiggling the brush to get an even coat. Don't forget a light sweep along the lower lashes!
