Get fuller, longer lashes.
By Aly Walansky — Written on Apr 04, 2020
Not all of us are lucky enough to be born with long eyelashes, making us curious about how to grow eyelashes to make them fuller and thicker. Well, for those of us who are not well endowed with beautiful lashes, there are lash serums meant to stimulate growth and the health.
Sound too good to be true? Sometimes, yes, but many of these actually do work — some by use of special chemicals, others by use of natural vitamins and minerals. (Of course, this really only works if you use it regularly and as directed, so follow the instructions and be patient.)
In the meantime, check out the best lash serums, and you'll have fluttering eyelashes in no time.
