Lashes are arguably the most alluring feature of a visage. They emphasize one’s eye shape and make for a romantic gaze. If you have naturally thick lashes, you can go without wearing eye makeup and still look as beautiful as an on-screen movie star. Unfortunately, not all of us have Elizabeth Taylor’s gene code of twin set lash lines and so we are grateful for lash-enhancing mascaras being available to us. Mascaras have come a long way from being formulated to just add pigment to the lashes; there are so many more finishes available today. We take a look at some of the most iconic lash effects you can achieve with these amazing mascaras that many swear by.
