Magic Lash (by Magic Lash)
If you really want those brow-sweeping lashes but don't want to wear false ones, this could just be your answer.
This is one of those well-kept beauty secrets - a truly remarkable product that does something incredible for those with short or sparse eyelashes (like mine!).
The advertisers describe it as 'false lashes in a tube' and that's not a bad description - except there's none of the hassle associated with false lashes - and this stuff certainly can't drop off in your soup!
Basically this looks like a mascara tube with a wand like a mascara wand. But there the similarity ends.
The product is actually teensy tiny fibres which you use to 'beef up' your favourite mascara. Getting the application right, like so many 'serious' cosmetic tricks does often take some practice - don't try it for the first time just before a big night out!
You apply your mascara as normal, and then a light layer of this (you will look weird at this stage - be patient.....) and then another layer of your mascara and - hey presto! - Movie star lashes. If you curl your lashes you do that before the first coat of mascar as usual.
This is definitely not for contact lens wearers and everyone should test it for sensitivity, even those for whom sensitivity isn't usually a problem - some people do react to the fibres. You may also find you need to buy a different mascara to use with it. I use a much thinner mascara than usual (a Beauty Without Cruelty one at the moment) because anything too gloopy will just make a mess with the fibres.
There are now some more readily available doppelgangers on the market, Mister Mascara have brought one out, I saw fairly recently, but I'm afraid I haven't tried those. The basic principle is the same however, so I'd certainly recommend giving it a go.
