primer?

Qs, answered


  1. Do growth
    serums
    even work?


There’s just one that’s
approved by the
FDA: prescription-
only Latisse, which
makes your lashes
grow longer after
using nightly for four
weeks. A bunch of
OTC serums promise
the same, but be cau-
tious (there have been
reports of eye irritation
and discoloration).
A safer non-Rx option:
lash conditioners (like
L’Oréal Paris Lash
Serum, $15) that
make your lashes
look longer
by hydrating and
strengthening them.


If you wear mascara
for a good 12 hours a
day—and IDK, want
that mascara to stay
put—eyelash prim-
ers are a must. “They
plump your lashes
and create a smooth,
fanned-out base for
easy mascara appli-
cation,” says makeup
artist Lindsey Williams.
“Primers also help your
mascara stick better
for longer wear.”
