How to Get Alexis' Lashes

Alexis probably has the most perfect, natural lashes I’ve ever seen, but getting them is super easy!

Step One: Curl lashes.  This is especially important if you have shorter lashes that grow outwards instead of upwards.  Alexis uses a Tarte eyelash curler but you can get them cheap at any drugstore. My tip is to look downwards into a mirror when I curl them.  Gets a better grip/curl that way.

Step Two: Make sure your lashes are evenly spread out.  You can use your finger or I use a spoolie to brush them out.

Step Three: Tightline your eyes.  Basically this means lining your upper waterline with eyeliner (I prefer black).  It sounds scary but it just kind of tickles. The result is a thick-looking lashline.  Here’s a video to demonstrate (x). She used a liquid liner but i use pencil.

Step Four: Coat with mascara.  Alexis uses Covergirl Lash Blast.  Personally I love the Ulta Super Stretch Fiber Mascara (no longer available online but I’ve seen it in stores recently.  Maybelline Mega Plush is a good dupe for this, just a couple dollars more expensive).  It makes my lashes nice and black and soft looking.  It doesn’t clump or get crunchy as the day goes on.  I wiggle the wand from the bases of my lashes and upwards.  I let the first coat dry and then I take the tip of the mascara wand and just coat the ends of my lashes.  It gives them so much extra length.  Last, I take the Cover Girl Lashblast Volume and wiggle it over the bases of my lashes to make them look extra thick.
