The Eyes Have It: Expert Eye Makeup Tricks
Lush Lashes
Boost your roots.
Applying liner at the base of lashes makes them look thicker. "It creates the same effect as the old wiggle-mascara-at-your-roots trick, without the mess," explains Raychel Wade, makeup artist for La Prairie in New York City. Using a fine-tipped pencil (or a freshly sharpened traditional one), dot the skin between each hair.
Feed your follicles.
When applied to lashes daily, prescription-strength Latisse ($100/month) "adds length and thickness in two months," says Elissa Lunder, MD, a dermatologist in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and a FITNESS advisory board member. Get the Rx from your doc, who can tell you about any side effects.
Layer your mascara.
Forget faux lashes -- swiping on two different formulas offers the same effect. "Use a thickening mascara, then a lengthening one," says Wade. Wait 45 seconds between coats to avoid clumps.
Two mascaras are better than one. Start with Maybelline New York Great Lash Big Mascara ($6.15, drugstores), then top it with CoverGirl LashBlast Length Mascara ($7.49, drugstores).

2/23/2010 10:21:34 AM Report AbuseThe absolute best mascara is Lights, camera, lashes, by Tarte! It's $18.00, but it is fantastic and it's organic. Beauty.com sells it, I love it!!

1/9/2010 08:39:11 PM Report AbuseIn my area in VA, Latisse is $150 for a 3-month supply. L'Oreal now makes a similar lash-growing serum that is not prescription-strength and does not turn your irises brown.

11/21/2009 09:02:04 PM Report AbuseBE CAREFUL! The Latisse can cause you to have permanent brown eyes! I like DiorShow Iconic mascara. Its totally worth the price and I get really dramatic lashes. Give it a few days before you return it to Sephora. Remember, Beyonce applies SEVEN coats of mascara!
