" Hi my name is Yvette Parish and thank you for visiting expertvillage.com. How do I get my eyelashes to look longer? How do I make them look fuller? There is a lot of little tricks to that. Mainly you have to commit to spending maybe 10 minutes longer on your eyes. That is just the truth. You are not going to get a really full, luxurious look spending 3 seconds on eyes. You are really going to have to spend a little time, so if you can commit to spending a little of time, one of the things is of course to curl your eyelashes. And we talked about that earlier, the different curling eye lashing tools that are out there. So I would curl them first before any mascara. That would give your eyelashes some curl, a little bit of body to that. Start with that first before getting into mascara. Then look at your lashes. Are they very long, but straight, or are they very curly but it looks like you only got four? Okay then you need a thickening one. Are they very short—so you want a lengthening eyelash. Or do you want a glamorous look? You want a hight impact eye. So think about what you want to do with your lashes. You can make them longer, fuller, thicker, you can make them look more glamorous, longer. And most mascaras will say that. Like this one is maximum volume mascara. So that tells you right there it is maximum volume: it is going to give you fullness. Most mascaras, the formulas are almost very, very similar except for water resistant and the water proof mascaras. The formula itself on most mascaras are similar. What makes mascara different are the brushes."
