Tired of short, thin lashes that disappear when you're bare-faced? You're not the only one.
Here's what happens every morning: You catch your reflection and wonder where your lashes went. Your lashes are so thin and pale, they're practically invisible. You've tried volumising mascaras, but nothing seems to work. Ring a bell?
Here's the little secret nobody comes clean with: 90% of women struggle with lash thickness and length. It could be genetics, aging, or maybe it's the strain of overusing makeup removers, but the bottom line is that most of us weren't gifted with long, thick lashes.
But what if we told you that we have an easy, proven way to get the dramatic lashes you've always wanted? L.A. Girl has the answer with game-changing products that do not disappoint.
Why do Most People Have Thin, Short Lashes?
Let's know why this problem exists before proceeding to solutions:
Genetics has the most significant influence. Like hair colour or height, eyelash thickness and length are primarily determined by your genes. Certain people are born with more lash follicles and thicker hair growth.
Age plays a role in lash growth. With age, lash growth slows down, and they may look finer. The growth cycle also decreases with age, so lashes fall off more rapidly than they can grow back. Daily habits damage lashes. Eye rubbing, sleeping in makeup, harsh makeup removers, and heavy mascara use all thin and break lashes with repeated use.
Hormonal changes impact growth. Pregnancy, menopause, and thyroid issues can all impact how your lashes will grow and appear.
What Does It Take to Make Your Lashes Look Longer and Thicker?
The secret isn't always what you put on it – it's learning how eyelashes grow and how to make them appear thicker.
Length happens through good application techniques. The way that you apply mascara, from the base of your lashes and wiggling the wand upwards, will give you lots of visual length.
Thickness is really about coating each lash individually. When you're going to the trouble of separating and coating every single lash, your lash line as a whole looks so much thicker and fuller.
Colour contrast provides drama. Dark eyelashes against your complexion create a dramatic contrast that makes your lashes and eyes stand out.
How to Get Longer-Looking Lashes Fast
This is where L.A. Girl comes in with professional-grade products that are instant:
Step 1: Start with a Lash Primer
Why primers are necessary: Consider lash primer a foundation for your lashes. It provides a smooth surface, gives your lashes initial volume, and allows your mascara to stay on better and last longer.
L.A. Girl's Solution: Volumatic Lash Primer gets your lashes just right. Use this white-tinted product from roots to tips before applying your mascara. The primer provides instant thickness while nourishing your lashes.
Application tip: Allow the primer to set for approximately 30 seconds before applying mascara. This prevents clumping and gives you the most length.
Step 2: Choose the Right Mascara Formula
Not all mascaras are equal. To get fuller, longer lashes, you need specific formulas and brushes.
L.A. Girl Volumatic Mascara boasts a specially formulated brush of graduating bristles. The formula contains fibres that attach to your lashes for instant length and volume.
For drama: Apply L.A. Girl's Drama Lash Mascara. The oversized brush coats every lash, and the buildable formula allows you to layer for depth without clumping.
Step 3: Master the Application Technique
Begin at the roots: Hold the mascara wand against your lash base and rock it gently from left to right. This technique puts the most formula exactly where your lashes need extra thickness.
Draw up slowly: While you move the wand from base to tip, maintain light pressure to spread and coat each lash evenly.
Don't forget bottom lashes: Coat your bottom lashes with the tip of the wand. This makes your eyes look wide and even.
Layer judiciously: Layer 2-3 thin coats rather than a single thick coat. Allow each application time to set before adding another layer.
What About Natural Lash Growth?
Although makeup gives instant results, you can also ensure natural lash health and growth:
Remove makeup gently. Apply eye makeup remover, which dissolves mascara without abrasive rubbing that can destroy lashes.
Never sleep in makeup. Remove all eye makeup at night to prevent lash damage and irritation.
Wash your face softly. Pat dry the area around your eyes instead of rubbing it, and never tug on your lashes.

What Are Common Mistakes to Avoid?
Pumping the mascara wand pushes air into the tube, accelerating the evaporation of the formula and leading to clumps.
Applying too much product at a time produces clumpy, unnatural lashes that will make your eyes look smaller.
Forgotten to replace mascara from time to time. The thick and clumpy mascara has been sitting on lashes for too long and can be contaminated with bacteria that cause eye infections.
Not using the primer robs you of extra length, volume, and wear.
