Do you wish you had longer, thicker, and more glamorous eyelashes? If you are tired of using mascara, false lashes, or eyelash extensions, you might want to try some natural and easy ways to enhance your lashes at home. In this blog post, we will share with you 7 DIY tricks that can help you achieve fuller and longer lashes without breaking the bank or risking your eye health. Let’s get started!
Olive oil is a natural moisturizer and conditioner that can nourish and strengthen your eyelashes. It also contains vitamin E and oleic acid, which can help darken your lashes and make them look more prominent. To use olive oil for your lashes, you will need:
Before going to bed, wash and dry your lashes, then dip the cotton swab or the mascara wand into the olive oil. Gently apply the oil to your lashes, being careful not to get it in your eyes. Leave it on overnight and wash it off with warm water in the morning. Repeat this process every night for a few weeks and you will notice your lashes becoming softer, fuller, and longer
Castor oil is another natural oil that can boost your eyelash growth and thickness. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can prevent infections and irritations that can hinder your lash growth. It also stimulates blood circulation and provides essential nutrients to your hair follicles. To use castor oil for your lashes, you will need:
Similar to olive oil, you will need to apply castor oil to your lashes before bedtime. Wash your eyelids and pat them dry with a towel. Dip the cotton swab or the mascara wand into the castor oil, then brush it onto your lashes. Leave the oil on overnight for healthy, thick lashes
Aloe vera is a versatile plant that can benefit your skin, hair, and health in many ways. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that can promote your eyelash growth and prevent breakage. It also hydrates and soothes your lashes, making them look more shiny and luscious. To use aloe vera for your lashes, you will need:
Cut the aloe vera leaf and scoop out the gel, or use a ready-made gel from the store. Wash and dry your lashes, then apply the gel to them with the cotton swab or the mascara wand. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off with warm water in the morning. Do this every night for a month and you will see a difference in your lash length and volume3
An eyelash comb is a simple but effective tool that can help you achieve fuller and longer lashes. It can separate your lashes, remove any clumps or flakes, and stimulate blood flow to your lash roots. It can also help distribute the natural oils from your eyelids to your lashes, keeping them moisturized and healthy. To use an eyelash comb for your lashes, you will need:
Before you head to bed, brush through your lashes for a few minutes with the eyelash comb or the spoolie. Start from the root and move upwards in gentle strokes. Be careful not to tug or pull your lashes, as this can cause damage or loss. Do this twice daily for about five minutes to improve your lash growth and thickness
Eyelid massage is another easy way to enhance your eyelashes naturally. It can improve blood circulation to your eyelids, which can deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles. It can also relax your eye muscles, reduce stress, and prevent eyelash loss. To do an eyelid massage for your lashes, you will need:
After you take your makeup off, put the warm washcloth over your eyelids for 1 to 2 minutes. This will open up your pores and prepare your skin for the massage. Wash your hands and dab 1 to 2 drops of olive oil or eye cream onto your fingertips. Gently massage your eyelids for 3 to 5 minutes, using circular, upward, and outward motions. Avoid rubbing your eyes or applying too much pressure. Wipe off the excess oil or cream with a tissue and wash your hands again. Do this every night before bed for optimal results
Baby powder is a surprising but effective trick to make your eyelashes look fuller and longer instantly. It can add volume and length to your lashes by creating a base layer that your mascara can adhere to. It can also make your lashes look lighter and more defined. To use baby powder for your lashes, you will need:
First, curl your eyelashes and apply two coats of mascara from root to tip. Then take a small amount of baby powder into the palm of your hand, then use your other hand to pick up some of the powder with the cotton swab or the makeup brush. Apply a light layer of the baby powder to the top and bottom of your lashes until they look ashy. Finish with another coat of mascara to seal the powder and make your lashes look fuller and longer.
Last but not least, a healthy diet is essential for your eyelash growth and health. Your lashes, like your hair and nails, are made of keratin, a protein that needs various vitamins and minerals to grow and stay strong. Some of the best foods for your eyelashes include:
Try to include these foods in your daily diet, along with plenty of water, to nourish your lashes from within. Avoid processed, sugary, and fatty foods, as they can hinder your lash growth and cause inflammation.

Q: Are these DIY tricks safe for my eyes?
A: These DIY tricks are generally safe and natural, but you should always be careful when applying anything near your eyes. Make sure to use clean and sterile tools, such as cotton swabs, mascara wands, and eyelash combs, to avoid any infections or irritations. Also, avoid getting any of the products or ingredients in your eyes, as they can cause burning, itching, or redness. If you experience any adverse reactions, stop using the DIY trick immediately and consult your doctor.
Q: Can I use these DIY tricks with other eyelash products or treatments?
A: You can use these DIY tricks with other eyelash products or treatments, such as mascara, false lashes, or eyelash extensions, as long as they do not interfere with each other or cause any harm to your lashes. For example, you can use olive oil or castor oil to condition your lashes before or after applying mascara, or you can use an eyelash comb to separate your lashes after applying false lashes or eyelash extensions. However, you should avoid using baby powder with false lashes or eyelash extensions, as it can make them look clumpy or fall off.
