Makeup Mistakes to Avoid for Longer Eyelashes

Eye makeup can make or mar your look for the evening, or change the way you look at work dramatically.
Most used eye makeup products
If you want to know how to get longer thicker eyelashes, simply avoid these makeup mistakes and disasters:
  1. Limit the use of eye makeup. The three most popular eye makeup products are the kohl, eyeliner and mascara. And all three have been proven to be bad for the health of your lashes.
  2. Regular usage of kohl/ kajal stunts the growth of lower eyelashes. So, it would be good to let your eyes ‘breathe’ by keeping them totally nude or devoid of any make up when you can. For instance, when you are not stepping outdoors. On such days, do not apply any kohl, eyeliner and mascara.
  3. If you cannot go in for totally nude eyes, LIMIT your use of eyeliner. If you must, prefer pencil eyeliners to liquid ones because liquid eyeliners clog the follicles of your eyelashes and weaken them if used too often.
  4. For the same reason, do not use the mascara daily. That is because the chemical present in the mascara weaken your eyelashes and make them prone to breakage as well. Mascara, whenever it is used, should be used sparingly. Do not apply and re-apply it till it makes your eyelashes look sticky.
  5. Do not use a kohl pencil, mascara or an eyeliner which is too old. Check the “Best Before Date” mentioned on your product and replace it at the end of the specified period to avoid damage to your precious lashes.
  6. Never, ever go to bed with your eye makeup on.
  7. Avoid rubbing your eyes too hard when they are itching, no matter how strong the temptation to do so. That will cause you to pull off a few eyelashes and also damage a few more. Rub them gently with a wet tissue or a moistened cotton ball.
  8. Take care f your eyeliner brush and mascara brush, and wash them periodically to make sure they are germ free, to avoid any infection to your lashes.
