Eyelash lengthening: video tips
To make eyelashes visually longer, it is enough to buy a suitable mascara and learn how to use it correctly. However, this is only a temporary measure: you need to strengthen and lengthen the eyelashes using special methods. In this case, your look will become expressive even without makeup.
Folk recipes for strengthening and lengthening eyelashes most often include special oils. If you don’t want to make a mask by hand or buy expensive products, just purchase burdock oil and apply it to clean lashes every two days with a thoroughly washed mascara brush. This product will make them thick, long and fluffy.
Don’t leave oil on your eyelashes for long. The best option is 1-1,5 hours. Often, girls make a gross mistake, leaving the mask for the night. In this case, in the morning the eyelashes begin to stick together, the eyes turn red, and swelling appears.
An even simpler recipe is a castor oil mask. It strengthens the eyelashes, prevents them from falling out and accelerates their growth. However, remember that it is recommended to rinse it off 30-40 minutes after application. A mixture of olive oil and sea buckthorn oil can also make eyelashes shiny and fluffy. Add a couple of drops of vitamin E, which you can buy at the pharmacy, to the mask and use every night.
Masks can affect the human body in different ways, so try several options before choosing one that you will use on a regular basis. Also keep in mind that such products can cause allergies, so you will need to pre-test by applying a little of the prepared mask to the inner bend of the elbow and leaving it for several hours.

Homemade masks are not the only method for lengthening eyelashes. Compresses also help in such cases. Most often, ordinary green tea is used without additives: you need to soak cotton wool in it, put on eyelids and leave for 15-20 minutes. This is not only an easy way to increase the length of eyelashes, but also a great option for those whose eyes begin to ache in the evening from tension.
You can also lengthen your eyelashes with a soothing decoction. Take 1 tablespoon each. dried chamomile and cornflower, pour 200 ml of boiling water, cook for 2-3 minutes, and then leave for a day and strain. Based on this broth, a wonderful compress is made that relieves irritation, removes dark circles under the eyes, gently cares for the delicate skin of the eyelids, strengthens eyelashes and stimulates their growth.
To enhance the effect of the procedures and achieve results as soon as possible, supplement masks and compresses with massage. Prepare balm from 1 tablespoon. olive oil, 0,5 tsp. parsley juice and 0,5 tsp. balm. Close your eyes and use gentle, gentle movements to rub the balm into the skin along the lash line.
