When it comes to makeup there’s one item that never goes out of fashion…mascara! Its been quite some time since we’ve seen Twiggy’s headline making photograph, but one thing remains the same, we all still crave big, beautiful lashes. Luckily, you don’t need a supermodel-size paycheck to get them!
Cover Girl’s LashBlast Mascara is my favorite make-up product for getting gorgeous, full lashes and it retails for less then $8.00! Mascara is one beauty item I never spend money on because there’s really no need when my LashBlast does the same thing a department store mascara will, every time!
Here are a few tips for getting ultra-long full lashes:
Start with your favorite eyeliner and line the upper lid of your lashes. This will allow you to reach the root of your lashes and give your eyes a cleaner look.
Next, you should invest in a eyelash curler that you are comfortable using and curl your upper lashes. Many women tend to skip this part because they don’t want to spend money on something they think they don’t need. For all you women who wish you had larger eyes this is the # 1 trick. Using an eyelash curler will open up your eyes since the lashes are curled and lifted away from the eye.
Last but not least, add the mascara! This is your most important step. Remember to always start from the root of your lashes and stroke upward. I also like to wiggle the brush as I go up to make sure I’m coating each lash. One to two coats usually does the trick but if you feel like you need more, no one is stopping you! This is another reason I love the LashBlast formula…it’s thin so it’s optimized for layering and it never gets clumpy or sticky.
And if you have short, sparse lashes, there’s nothing wrong with adding a few fake lashes to enhance your eyes, but I suggest you go for the individual ones and not the full sets. BTW, You can pick these up for only $13 at most department stores and they last for multiple applications since you’re only using a few at a time!
So… what’s the final step into letting you lashes be your statement look of the night? Keep your foundation soft, your cheeks warm and always, always stay in the nude tones when it comes to your lips. Simple lips and strong eyes will always be on trend!

Have you ever used Make it Big mascara by mark? I’ve tried everything out there because my eyelashes are stick straight, and even have the tendency to point downward. Make it Big mascara in Raven, at only $7.00 a tube, is the best I’ve tried. It volumizes and lengthens, and I feel more feminine. Amy Nadine is Lauren Conrad’s makeup artist, and she lists MIB mascara in her top 10 makeup products of all time:). That makes me feel even better. I don’t have to envy other women’s lashes anymore.
I love Lash Blast, too!!! I think it’s the only drugstore mascara I’ve tried that actually keeps my eyelashes curled and volumized the whole day! And the brush is amazing, too… I know that I’m really applying the mascara to all my lashes.
I love that stuff!! I already have long lashes and this stuff just makes them even longer and more full.
I’m a huge fan of Lash Blast! I tried the lengthening version and it didn’t work for me at all. I just started using a curler and it does make a huge difference.
