Falsies are great and lash extensions are lifesavers, but when lash glue and appointment calendars won’t play ball, you’re left back where you started: struggling once more with your own short, straight, limp lashes.
Of course, this isn’t the case for everyone; some were blessed with sky-high lashes of the natural variety (rude); but if you are looking for lift, lengthening formulas are your best bet, able to deliver defined, fluttery Bambi-like lashes in a few simple swipes.
We’ve rounded up the very best; get ready for the longest lashes of your life.
