i use cheap mascara and my eyelashes look good. but the best advice is to CURL your eyelashes THEN apply mascara. its amazing and it really works! it makes them really super curled and thick and bold!

well it could be because they have thicker eyelashes, everyone's are different. but anyway, start by curling your lashes…then take the brush and start at the base of your eyelashes…wiggle the brush from side to side at the base of your lashes, then slide up.

…if that doesn't do the trick try running a very thin line of eyeliner the same shade as your mascara across your lash line. it makes them look thicker.

hope i helped

use face powder on your face before applying mascara, it helps to set the mascara making your lashes look thicker. It also helps to avoid smudges. I like loose powder applied with a large powder brush the best.

Well I usually open my mouth…LOL that helps but for my resitals my dance makeup artist makes my mascara more clumpier so it stands out!

here are the steps to bold lashes by me and insert your mascara where i say to
1) condition your lashes with vaseline or lip balm. do this by just rubbing it on your lashes. let it dry while you do your makeup
2) put mascara on the the tips of your lashes. let dry
3) comb through your lashes with a comb like this
4) apply mascara and press it into the bottom of your lashline.
5) comb through your lashes again
6) curl your lashes
