Of all the details that go into your feminine look, eyelashes just might have the biggest bang.
Long lashes make your eyes look bigger and brighter – downplaying facial flaws and making you look much more feminine.
In other words, lashes are a girl’s best friend!
Beyond the basics of mascara and false lashes, there are some unique ways to give your eyelashes serious sex appeal.
Read on for 4 eyelash innovations that will transform your face:
1. Eyelash extensions
Eyelash extensions are a huge beauty trend right now. And why not? Who wouldn’t want long, gorgeous lashes for up to 8 weeks?
Eyelash extensions cost an average of $100-$300, with touchups averaging $25-$75. While the treatment is pricy and time consuming (the lashes must be applied one-by-one), most lash lovers will tell you it’s worth the investment.

2. Latisse
Want long lashes without the hassle of extensions or false eyelashes? Latisse might be the option you’re looking for.
Latisse is an FDA-approved treatment for growing eyelashes. It increases the growth phase of your eyelashes, causing them to grow thicker, longer, and darker. Most people see dramatic results within 12 weeks. (Read reviews here.)
The Latisse kit costs around $120, but since it must be dispensed by a doctor, you also have to factor in the cost of the office visit.
3. Lash growth serum
Another option for enhancing your natural lashes is to use a non-prescription lash growth serum. These products contain ingredients that stimulate eyelash growth.
While the results might not be as dramatic as Latisse, the price is right. Here are some products to try:
- Rimmel Lash Accelerator Serum ($10)
- L’Oreal Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum ($15)
- Givenchy Mister Lash Booster ($30)
- Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die for Turbo ($80)
- Revitalash Advanced ($98)
4. Fiber mascara
Finally, if you just want a quick and easy way to get big, sexy lashes, try a fiber mascara. These are mascaras that contain special fibers that bind together to build out the lashes. It’s the best way to get that false eyelash look using only mascara.
Popular fiber mascaras include:
- Covergirl Super Sizer Fibers
- Ulta Fabulous Fiber Mascara
- Physician’s Formula Instant Lash Extension Kit
- Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes
- D.J.V. MIARAY Fiberwig Mascara
Don’t forget your lashes!
Eyelashes might be a small detail, but as you can see, they can have a dramatic impact on your looks.

Hi Lucille,
Thanks for the eyelash tips and I agree that having beautiful lashes makes a girl look sensational. I’ve never used serum but I may check it out. My eye makeup routine consists of Loreal telescopic mascara and sometimes I use false eyelashes to add density to my pretty femminine lashes. Trying new things and seeing what works is always a good way to find your best look.
Thanks for the tips. I’m definitely going to try the Rimmel lash serum. I’ve always felt like my eyes are one of my best features so I make sure my lashes are as good as I can get them. I’ve been using Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara for a couple of years and just picked up some Cover Girl Lash Blast volumizing mascara. Both are excellent, but I’m 65 and my lashes aren’t as full as they were when I was 15, so the lash serum sounds like it might help.
Thanks so much for your help to the TG community. I wish I could convince every trans woman to subscribe to your newsletter. My mother was a very elegant lady who was always well put together. I used to watch how she’d do her makeup and then try to duplicate it when I had “alone” time. When I was a teenager I could wear her clothes and developed a taste for classic styles. By the time I came out I already had most of the basics down, but your help has really made it possible for me to fine tune my look.
Thank you SO much!
