Your Top 5 Must-Try Lash Essentials
1. A Lash Curler

Place your lashes into the curler it and wiggle it around for 2-3 times and make hard pressing motions. Start at the root and lift your lashes at the ends as well, but make sure you don't pinch your eyelid.
Lash curlers are usually really inexpensive and might be your ideal solution if you are a beginner who is getting into makeup. You can expect them to be around $5.
Any Downsides To It?
Well, you can't really use a lash curler if your lashes are short and sparse. If this is the case with your lashes make sure you look into the other remaining 4 lash solutions.
2. Eyelash Primer
Lash primer is applied onto the root of your lashes before you add mascara. This item is used as a base for the mascara, and will give your lashes a bit of a lift thanks to its sticky and firm outcome.
How To Use It?
Apply your lash primer as you'd apply your mascara. Add it to the root and wiggle around for 3-4 times. The product itself can be clear or tinted, so make sure you let it air dry for 1 minute before applying a coat of your mascara.
Lash primers are inexpensive as well and are usually around $10 per tube.

3. Lash Serum
Lash serums are applied each night in order to give your lashes additional growth. Women prefer these because they can give you a lot of volume in the long-run, and will make your natural lashes a lot more noticeable.

Make sure you read the ingredients that are written at the back of the bottle. Make sure you are not allergic to any of them and also be prepared to wait 30+ days in order to spot a difference. If you are someone who needs overnight results, this might not be it.
4. Mascara
Mascara is a staple for every woman ever since the age of 15! Get yourself a waterproof kind and also don't forget to coat your upper & lower lashes each day when applying it.
How To Use It?
Use your mascara on a daily basis by pulling it through your natural lashes. If you wiggle the wand you will achieve better length and more volume. Also, don't forget to add 2-3 coats on your lower lashes as well.
