I loved having extensions. I did not love the fill appointments, or what my own lashes looked like underneath after a few months. This is what I do instead, and it takes about four minutes on a day I have four minutes.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum
The honest version: this is a slow one. A thin line at the lash base at night, and you are looking at a couple of months before you notice much. Patch test first, and stop if your eyes get irritated. I keep it by my toothbrush so I actually remember.
tarte tartelette XL Tubing Mascara
Tubing formulas were the switch that mattered. It does not flake down my cheeks by noon, and it comes off with warm water instead of me scrubbing at my eyes, which is better for the lashes I am trying to keep.
e.l.f. Pro Eyelash Curler
A cheap curler that does the job of an expensive one. Curl first, always before mascara, and hold for a slow count of ten rather than pumping at it. That one change did more for my eyes looking open than any product.
Heated Eyelash Curler with Three Temperature Settings
For the days my lashes will not hold a curl at all, which is most humid days. Lowest setting, on dry clean lashes, and it holds through a whole afternoon. Do not use it on wet mascara.
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water for Waterproof Makeup
Soaked into a cotton pad and held on the lashes for a few seconds before wiping. No rubbing. The rubbing is what was costing me lashes, and I did not connect the two for years.
