      Proper removal

      If you've been trying for years to have long eyelashes welcome to the club! There are millions of women that do the same thing, you're not alone. One of the first things you need to do to accomplish this is to clean them properly if you're taking mascara off with soap you need to stop. Eyelashes are hair so they can dry out, become brittle and break off.

      Therefore, you need to use a cream eye makeup remover or if you have Vaseline this will work as well. However, make sure you use a warm cloth to soften the lashes first or else, once again, they may break.

      Awesome Mascara

      Secondly, there really is a difference in mascara's, however, I have not found that expensive ones help eyelashes look longer. In fact, one of the cheapest ones on the market seems to work best and that's Maybelline in the green and pink tube. This stuff is great! I have used it for years and it lasts forever too. I always add a bit of warm water to the wand and stir it up so it isn't clumpy, for easier application.

      You can also apply twice to make them look thicker. After you do the first coat wait till they dry then apply the second coat. I don't do this often I feel like it stresses the eyelashes with more weight.

      Separation

      The next thing you need to remember to have long eyelashes you need to separate them. First you use and eyelash curler to get them curled up and then to separate use a toothpick, a very sharp one. This can be a dangerous trick if not careful.

      However, I have not found anything that separates eyelashes as well as a toothpick this includes upper and lower lashes.

      Healthy Foods and Vitamins

      Don't forget that what you eat affects hair and eyelashes are hair. Therefore, if you want long eyelashes it's good idea to eat a balanced diet and take vitamins that are beneficial to hair growth. If you don't want to take a handful of vitamins at least take a multivitamin.

      Or if you really want to get serious you can take B Complex along with vitamin C and A or eat foods that contain these vitamins.

      Whatever you do don't go to bed with mascara on, remove it! If not you will certainly break off those beautiful eyelashes you worked so hard to grow.

      Fake Eyelashes

      Of course, if you don't want to do all of this you can simply buy fake ones. However, they are a pain to apply, but the good news is the more you do it the easier it gets. The individual lashes always look better and more natural. You can also have eyelash extensions done in a salon and go back for touch ups every 2-3 weeks. This is very pricey!

      My oh my what we won't do to have beautiful long eyelashes...

    How to have long eyelashes reminded me of one very important fact - eyelashes are hair! I never really thought of them breaking off, needing moisture, etc.. Thanks for that reminder and all of your other great tips.
