My eyelashes are dark, reasonably long and rather thick. Lucky me, right? Well, they also point straight downward at an angle that makes them basically disappear into my eyes. (If an eyelash is long but no one can see it, is it even there?) Like many of my straight-lashed sisters, I'm well-acquainted with the one-two punch of an eyelash curler and a waterproof mascara—the former for obvious reasons, the latter because its higher wax content locks in the curl better than a standard mascara. (Any non-waterproof formula that markets itself as “curling” is a tube of empty promises, as far as I'm concerned.)
But even with knowledge of the first two rules of Straight Lash Club, I still hadn’t found a combo that a) held the same eye-opening curl for the entire day and b) actually added a decent amount of volume, since any extra bulk tended to weigh my lashes back down to their default state. That is, until recently, when I finally discovered the holy grail duo that’s led to more compliments on my lashes than I’ve ever gotten in my life. Here’s exactly what makes my once-invisible lashes look like a million bucks.
