Short, Sparse Eyelashes
|
|
Problem:
My eyelashes are short, thin, and barely visible. A
beauty consultant told me to condition my lashes with
mineral oil, but after several nights of this, nothing
happened (except getting the oil in my eye). Besides
mascara, is there anything I can do to make my eyelashes
long and thick again?
Solution: Unfortunately, the fix you are looking
for doesn't exist. Think of it this way: if there was a
product that could be applied to lashes that would cause
them to grow longer and feel thicker, why would major
cosmetic companies like L'Oreal, Clinique, Maybelline,
and Revlon (among others) release so many new mascaras
every year, each with varying promises of creating long,
thick, voluminous lashes? Your experience with mineral
oil was harmless, but as you quickly noticed, it does
not make lashes grow longer and thicker. At best, it can
soften them, but not without feeling greasy and causing
blurred vision! Plus, making lashes softer does not
equate to enhanced lash growth. Eyelash length and
thickness is genetically determined and nothing you
apply to your lashes can change that. |
