My Holy Grail Lash Routine

By Abigail Winey 

We all have that one thing in our makeup routine we do the most for. Well, mine are my lashes. Those little black hair blades sticking out of my eyelids are my prized possession and I am about to fill you all in on a secret… My Holy Grail Lash Routine!

After I finish my face, eyebrows, and eyeshadow, I go in with the Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. Now, this is VERY important. It has to be waterproof. If it is not waterproof, it will not work! I brush a light layer on my top lashes (not too thick, this acts more as a base). As that is drying I use the L'Oreal Paris' Iconic Telescopic Mascara on my bottom lashes. I like this brush because it is long and thin which gets every bottom lash. I do a lot of bottom mascara to help hide the fact that I do have bottom lashes, (but you could never tell). 

#1 rule of any lash routine..No. Clumps. EVER. 

Now, we’re getting personal. After I finish my bottom lashes, I heat up my eyelash curler with a hair dryer. I swear this is what gives my lashes the nicest curl, since the mascara base already molded the lashes, the heat makes them actually stay in place. I pulse my curler 10 times on each side to really boost my curl. Then, after I take the eyelash curler off I immediately use Maybelline’s Sky High Mascara to finish it off. Or, if I want a little bit more volume, I lightly add Clinique’s High Impact Mascara. 

So, next time you guys are on a drug store run and want to switch up your lash routine, I hope you all think of me and give this a try! I’m telling you it’s a game changer!
