Every mascara ad out there promises to give you eyelashes that will make your eyes pop. However, mascara might not be the secret to getting the lush lashes that you dream of. Here are 5 eye-opening hacks for longer eyelashes that actually work.

You Are What You Eat

Foods which are rich in vitamins and protein will help your eyelashes to grow. The vitamin B complex called Biotin is proven to help you grow longer and healthier hair and eyelashes.

Massage Your Eyelids

Massaging your eyelids apparently improves blood circulation which in turn encourages your eyelashes to grow. No harm in trying, right?

Trim Your Eyelashes

As horrifying as this idea sounds, trimming the ends of your lashes every few months will help stimulate the follicles and encourage them to grow faster. It’s the same concept as getting a hair trim when you’re trying to grow your hair out. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it works.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is the miracle oil that can be used for just about anything when it comes to your beauty regime. Coating your top lashes with the oil over time will leave you with longer, thicker and healthier lashes.

Mix up the colors

Instead of sticking to black mascara, you can achieve more definition by switching up the colors. Using brown for your bottom lashes can help create a more naturally defined look.
