Longer Lashes

I could recommend lash extensions here but being a recovering false lash-aholic I can’t in good faith do that. Strip lashes are great for adding instant length, and while lash extensions look completely natural they can leave your own lashes in a bit of state once they’re off.

So instead, I choose to grow my own. I’ve had some success in the past with RapidLash, £41. The ingredients in this serum essentially make lashes healthier so they are less likely to fall out before their time. However, the best results come courtesy of MyLash, £105 for one bottle, £205 for two. It’s extends the life cycle of lashes, basically meaning they’re rooted into your skin for longer so that they have a longer period in which to grow. I AM OBSSESSED. I have been using it for over two years and my lashes are longer, thicker and darker. There really is no downside to this bad-boy and I would honestly forgo mascara for the rest of my life in favour of keeping my My Lash. Luckily we don’t live in such a cruel world where I would have to choose. It’s a pricey investment, however two bottles last a very long time and if you’re someone who regularly has lash extensions anyway you’ll quickly see a saving.

Stylist reviews Mylash

Mylash is offering a consultations for individuals that wish to grow their eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Anyone who has heard of Latisse UK  – the revolutionary lash lengthener that’s only available on prescription will also know its incredibly hard to get a hold of outside the US. Not any more….  Down some narrow steps at the back of a make up salon on a quiet backstreet in Londons’ Knightbridge, lash expert Sue Marsh is now organising Mylash, an identical substance to Latisse with exactly the same active ingredient – bimatoprost, which works by stimulating prostaglanding receptors in hair and increasing the follicle activity – and exactly the same results.  Complete the online consultation and, if suitable, you will receive treatment in the post. Stylist tip: manufacturers say you need to apply it every day, but once you’ve established full growth (about three months), you only need to use it every three days to keep lashes lush.

Time to anti-age your eyelashes

Image
You may not want to know this — so shut your eyes now! — but if your hair is going grey, there’s worse to come. Your eyelashes may be starting to turn grey, too. It’s perfectly natural: the hair follicles from which they grow just give up on producing melanin, the pigment that gives them their colour, though it doesn’t usually happen before your hair is grey. And going grey isn’t the only thing we have to worry about. Thanks to changing hormone levels, lashes naturally thin as we get older, too. This leaves us with less definition around the eyes and can make us look more tired. You could resort to just piling on extra mascara — but if you want something more permanent, there’s plenty you can do to counteract it. In fact, there’s a bewildering array of options to improve the way your lashes look. Here’s our pick of the treatments that can really make a difference . . .

The claim: One drop of MyLash applied nightly along the lashline is meant to give 25 percent longer, 106 percent thicker and 18 percent darker lashes. The verdict: After clocking a barmaids full and fluttery set (of lashes!), she tells me it’s all thanks to MyLash , so I decide a road test is in order. She was onto something: it’s crazily effective. After just one application, I notice a difference the next morning. Who Magazine, November 2014. Written by: Suzanne Scott
