Trick for sparse lashes (great for the oldies)

As you can see in the above photo my eyelashes look fuller on the left eye than on the right. I'm going to explain how I did this!

All I needed was a black eyeliner pencil and a ear bud. Make sure your eyeliner is sharp, not "brand new HB pencil" sharp but just so that you get the pencil between your lashes nicely. It may tickle at first but you'll get used to it eventually.
First apply your foundation, concealer and powder. Then using your eyeliner pencil you are going to "color in" the gaps of the roots on your lash line. Use a connect-the-dots type of motion (little strokes for better accuracy). I like to start from the outside working my way in (towards your nose) and end where your lashes start to get less. You will find that while doing this a thin line just above your lashes was created, which is great, because it just adds to the look that we are trying to achieve. Now, you need to take a ear bud and smudge that line created just above your lash line. Smudge it inwards - towards your nose so that it looks blended in and natural.
You can now go ahead and apply your eyeshadow and mascara. If you are applying a few layers of different shades of eyeshadow, do these steps before you apply the last or second last color. This is just to ensure that that feint black line does not disappear completely.

Enjoy your fuller looking eyelashes!
