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.

Lovely article – eye lashes are something my sister hit on when she was first familiar with my fem side. She is OK with fixing eyelash extensions for me that I can leave on from Friday night until Monday morning. I sometimes get the odd look if I go out in male mode but what the hell. Eyelashes are an important part of my feminine psyche and I just love them.

I have read warnings from the manufacturer, and reports on Latisse and they say that one of the possible side effects of this product is that it may have a tendency to darken the color of the eyes! If you love your baby-blues as much as I do, it may not be the way to go!
That’s a great point, Katrina. I did more research into this and found that the medication in Latisse CAN darken the eyes if it’s applied directly to the cornea. However, this hasn’t been found to happen when applied to the lashes. (Latisse still has to warn of this as a potential side effect.) Here’s more info for anybody who is curious:

I agree with you, Katrina – if you love your eye color, I’d be cautious nonetheless!
