Mascara can restore a full look to thinning lashes. Apply two to three thin coats to upper lashes — top then underside. Next, brush the wand lightly over lower lashes to fill.

Remove mascara completely each night with a gentle make-up remover to maintain healthier lashes. To discourage bacteria growth in mascara tubes, begin with a brand new mascara and replace every three months. Also, never “pump” the wand in the tube (it’s unnecessary for application) and never rinse mascara wands in water or add water to the tube.

Note: While false eyelashes can look like your own with careful trimming and thinning, they require adhesives that may be too harsh for your sensitive skin. Consult your doctor before application.
