Heavily loaded websites boasting the latest, greatest methods and products are all over the place, with clever ways of parting you with your hard earned cash.

Many of my most stylish women friends are sporting the most amazing eyelashes. Some of them use false eyelashes, some swear by Latisse and still others go every few weeks to get eyelash extensions.
Here are your 4 basic options for amazing eyelashes. Find out which one is your best bet.
The Easiest Option: Eyelash Curlers & a Great Mascara
I would try this option before the ones below to see if you like the results. Simply use an eyelash curler paired with a
thickening mascara for great results.
Always curl your lashes before applying mascara. Here’s how to get the most curl out of your curler:
- Blast hot air for 3 seconds on your curler with a blowdryer. Test with your finger before latching onto your lashes.
- “Pump” your lashes 3 times with the curler: once at the base of your lashes, once midway through, and once at the very ends. This works much better than just curling at the roots.
- Follow with several coats of a thickening mascara (I like Lancome).
You might consider Younique 3D Fiber Lashes, which are super popular at the moment on social media. I tried them and loved the way they made my lashes look so long they sort of appeared fake. Read more about Younique here.
The DIY Option: False Eyelashes
You can buy individual lashes or eyelash strips at any drugstore. They’re cheap, efficient and will last you an evening. The cons: they aren’t as professional-looking as your other options and they tend to fall off as the day/evening progresses.

The Medical Option: Eyelash Lengtheners in a Bottle
I have a few friends who swear by Latisse, which is an eyelash lengthener that you place at the lash line to make your lashes grow.
There are other products, but Latisse is the most popular one.
The effects are long-term, they truly work and with proper use you will have longer, more lush lashes. The cons are that putting a product on your eyelash line is a bit creepy when you consider the warnings that it “may cause your eye color to change.”
Have no fear, apparently this only happened to one person and the company now has to include a warning. Just don’t put this in your eye. Put it at the lash line.

The Salon Option: False Lashes Applied in a Salon
My friends with eyelash extensions look absolutely amazing so I highly recommend them. Larger cities boast salons dedicated to eyelash extensions. These are individually applied and last about 3-4 weeks. It’s pretty pricey, but you can usually find deals on Groupon.com or Lifebooker.com.
