How to get thicker lashes naturally
Use a lash serum
Lash serums promote growth when your lashes begin to thin. The GrandeLASH-MD Enhancing Serum contains vitamins, peptides and amino acids that naturally enhance the appearance of lashes. Apply daily for three months, then every other day.

Fill the gaps
Use a dark shadow or liner to define your upper and lower lash line to mimic the fullness of lashes. I love the I-Lift Longwear Liner due to its creamy non-drag formula that protects delicate skin.

Add falsies
While wearing false lashes can provide extra volume, they can damage and thin your natural lashes with repeated use. When learning how to get thicker lashes naturally but you’re wanting extra volume, opt for a half or cluster lash to add definition to eyes without looking heavy. Try the Eylure Clusters for a fluffy look and to customise your lash style.
