Everyone loves the alluring look of longer eyelashes. They are a timeless beauty enhancer and anyone who doesn't have longer thicker eyelashes tends to want them. They are the perfect accessory to any outfit, and with great eyelash makeup, you hardly need any other bit of makeup. With a few simple tips and tricks and eyelash makeup tricks, you can have thick beautiful lashes. Here's how.

Take good care of the eyelashes you've got.
Eyelashes naturally fall out, but many of the beauty routines women adhere to actually slow the thickness and growth of longer eye lashes. Take good care of your lashes; don't pull on them, don't treat them with harsh chemicals, and be especially careful of them while you're washing your face and eye makeup off. If you are careful with the ones you've got, you will be more likely to be able to grow longer lashes.

Make eyelash makeup work for you, here's how:
1) Good eyelash makeup starts with the eyelash shape. Start by very gently curling the eyelashes in three places; once at the base, once mid eyelash length, and once at the very ends. This curling helps eyelash makeup have the most impact.

2) If you use eyeshadow, apply it at this point. Next, use a little eyeliner to make the base of your eyelashes look thicker. Draw lightly just around the upper lid, at the very base where the eyelashes root.

3) Now it's time to apply mascara, the most important player in the game of longer lashes. Apply mascara at the very base of the eyelashes, and wiggle and work the mascara wand all the way out to the end of the lashes.

4) The trick to longer eye lashes lies within the number of coats of mascara. If you want your eyelash makeup to really make your lashes look thicker, you will want to let the first coat dry, and then reapply. Now you should have some extreme lashes!

Try fake eyelashes or even eyelash implants.
If you are really not content with what nature gave you, you can take more drastic measures and get a helping hand from the beauty scientists. Fake eyelashes can make lashes look both longer and thicker, and are easily found within any given department store. Some of them are easier to use than others, and some brands are also less obviously fake than others.

Eyelash implants are a bit more drastic but can do the trick just as well, on a more permanent basis.
