I am a certified lash addict. I LOVE falsies. Although I don't wear them everyday, I can't help but apply them on the weekend for a dramatic, flirty look (even if I am sitting around my house drinking wine) I love, love, love them!

But what about work days? Is it possible to achieve the same look without having to glue your fingers to your eyelids? According to one of my favorite beauty blogs, Beauty High, yes, there is! Listed below are 5 Steps to achieve Sensational Eyelashes 

Step 1: Choose the right kind of mascara. Depending on whether you’re going for lengthening, volume boosting, separating, waterproof, etc. you should choose the kind of lashes you want and get a mascara based on that. A favorite at the Beauty High office is CoverGirl Lash Blast because it does pretty much everything in one. Also, don’t be afraid to apply more than one coat.

Step 2: Curl your lashes. A lot of women forgo this incredibly important step because they’re either afraid of the curler or they don’t believe it actually works. Curling your lashes before applying mascara is like moisturizing before putting on foundation – the end result looks much cleaner and more put together.

Step 3: Begin applying mascara with the wand at the root of your eyelash and wiggle the wand at the root before swiping upward. This separates the lashes and cuts down on any clumping that may happen by doing a thorough swipe through.

Step 4: During the application, hold either a plastic spoon, business card or mascara spoon against your eyelid, above the lashes, so that excess mascara gets on the spoon, not your lid. By having less to clean up afterwards, there’s less chance of displacing your carefully applied mascara.

Step 5: Use a good eye makeup remover. Even if your mascara isn't waterproof, we’d suggest using a waterproof remover. The less pulling and scraping you have to do on your eyelashes, the better condition they’ll be in.
