Use a powder
Before applying mascara, brush a thin layer of baby powder or sheer face powder to your lashes. This will ensure that the product really sticks to your lashes and gives the best voluminous effect.
Gently take off eye makeup
When using eye makeup remover or makeup wipes, you want to make sure you follow a downward motion to product your lashes from falling out.
Use a growing serum
There are a ton of growing eyelash serums on the market. Go with a vitamin-based formula that penetrates deep into the lash follicles. A great product will promote lash growth, but also protect your lashes from falling out.
Pick fake eyelash glue wisely
This is essential to making sure you keep your natural lashes healthy. You want a formula that uses a gentle latex-free hold. Apply a small amount to make sure you don't rip or tear at your eyelashes when removing later on.
Curl eyelashes before mascara
Mascara tends to have a sticky formula. To avoid your natural lashes from falling out and sticking to the eyelash curler, make sure you use the tool before applying mascara.
Count curling habit
Over-curling your eyelashes will cause more to fall out. Make sure to just press on your eyelash curler twice. You don't need more than that!
Replace mascara often
Mascara has a short lifespan due to the bacteria that develops in the tube over time. Make sure to replace the product every three months.
Use a lengthening mascara
Not all mascaras are created equal. You want to go with a no-clump formula that also lengthens your natural lashes. L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Mascara includes a primer that extends and adds volume in seconds.
Double up on mascara
This trick is especially important for women with short eyelashes. Add one coat, let dry completely and reapply the product again to get the max results out of your favorite mascara.
Clean the falsies
Cleaning your falsies with gentle soap and water will ensure that they last longer and maintain that fluffy natural look you want to go for.
