If you weren't born with naturally gorgeous eyelashes, don't despair: you can create them. By using a few essential tools, you'll be able to get beautiful lashes quickly and easily. Achieving the look of long, lustrous eyelashes can be done using just a handful of tools, including mascara. With the right tools, virtually anyone will be able to enhance their appearance by boosting their lashes.

Whether you're looking to create a natural, everyday look for your lashes or a more dramatic look for special occasions, read on to learn more about the essential tools you'll need to get beautiful lashes.

The first step in creating the look of beautiful lashes is using an eyelash curler. Investing in a good lash curler can pay off big, allowing you to instantly give your lashes a boost. Prices for eyelash curlers range from $5 to nearly $20, depending on the brand you choose. You can purchase an eyelash curler online or in most drug stores and/or beauty supply stores.http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P8119

Lash curling should be done before applying mascara. Gently slide the curler around your upper lashes (about 3/4 of the way toward lash tips) and press down lightly. Hold for a few seconds and release. Be especially careful not to pull while you are curling or you risk losing a few lashes.

Mascara is the magic weapon that can enhance nearly everyone's eyelashes. A good mascara can tint lighter lashes, making them appear fuller and more lustrous. Depending on the type of mascara you choose, you may also be able to add volume to thin lashes and glossiness to dull eye lashes. Mascara is available in a variety of shades, from light brown to the darkest black. If you have lighter lashes, consider using a brown shade to avoid a harsh effect.

Apply mascara after you have curled your lashes. If you want a long-lasting effect, you might consider investing in a good waterproof mascara. Waterproof mascaras are less likely to flake and wear off during the day, allowing for gorgeous, lush lashes for several hours.

While eyelash curlers and mascara can help you to create beautiful lashes in a flash, there are other tools that you can use to take things a step farther.

• Eyelash brushes and combs can be used to help separate lashes before and after applying mascara. If you get "clumps" when you put your mascara on, use the lash brush to remove them. Be sure to thoroughly clean your lash comb after each use, to remove any dried mascara from the prongs.

• For special occasions, consider applying fake eyelashes. Fake lashes are typically applied using a type of glue that won't irritate the delicate eye area. You can purchase fake eyelashes in strips (for the entire upper and/or lower lid) or you can apply the false lashes individually where you need them.http://www.sephora.com/browse/section.jhtml?categoryId=C11091
