| How to Grow Eyelashes Posted: 10 Nov 2020 04:00 PM PST If you want long, luscious eyelashes, you're not alone! Many people have thin or short lashes and want to grow them out. Despite what you might have read online, there's no magic cure that will make your eyelashes grow overnight. Don't despair, though—a few cleaning and self-care steps can help stimulate eyelash growth. Most of these tips aren't medically-proven, but they could work for you. If these don't work, see your dermatologist to get a prescription serum that will help you grow thick, long lashes. You could also use some styling tips to make your eyelashes look longer if they don't grow as much as you want them to. [Edit]Good Eyelash Care - Use regular mascara instead of waterproof types. While waterproof mascara is popular for its durability, it's also tough to get off. You'll have to do a lot of scrubbing, which can break off your lashes. Waterproof mascara also dries out your lashes. It's best to skip this product overall.[1]
- You can wear waterproof mascara for special occasions, as long as you don't use it every day.
- Remove your eye makeup every day. Eye makeup can dry out your lashes and even make them fall out over time. Never leave your mascara or eyeshadow on overnight. Use a gentle makeup remover every night before bed to remove any makeup you have on during the day.[2]
- Be gentle when you remove your makeup. Scrubbing could irritate and damage your eyelashes as well.
- Wash your eyelids gently with soap and water. Clean follicles are key to healthy eyelashes. Wash your face regularly with gentle soap and clean water to remove dirt and bacteria.[3]
- Fragrances are a common cause for skin irritations like dermatitis.[4] Make sure you use fragrance-free soaps to avoid any problems.
- Go makeup-free as often as you can. Since makeup can damage your hair follicles, it's best to skip the makeup as often as possible. This gives your eyelashes a break and can prevent damage.[5]
- If you still want to wear makeup every day, then try removing it as soon as you're home instead of waiting until you go to bed. That way, you're increasing the amount of time that your eyelashes can breathe.
- Stop rubbing your eyes. This is very tempting and everyone rubs their eyes occasionally. Do your best to resist the temptation, though. Constant rubbing can damage your eyelashes and even pull them out. It's best to rub as little as possible.[6]
- Rubbing is also bad for your eyes overall, since it can spread bacteria. If you do have to touch your eyes, always wash your hands first.
- If you have very itchy eyes and feel tempted to rub them a lot, you might have a problem like chronic dry eyes or allergies. See an eye doctor to get to the bottom of it.
- Follow a healthy diet. Your eyelashes are just like the other hairs on your body, and they need nutrients to grow properly. Make sure you follow a healthy diet full of proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables, and iron so your eyelashes grow in strong.[7]
- Some beauty guides recommend biotin supplements to stimulate eyelash growth. There's very little evidence that these supplements work, so it's best to save your money and skip them.[8]
- Make sure all your eye makeup is fresh and unexpired. While you might not think makeup can expire, it definitely can, and you could be sabotaging your eyelashes by using old mascara. Expired mascara can case bacterial growth and infections. In general, get rid of makeup after 2-3 months to prevent any problems.[9]
- Also make sure you don't have any allergies to the products you use. Allergies can cause inflammation and stop your lashes from growing properly.[10]
- Avoid getting eyelash extensions. You might like accentuating your lashes with extensions, but this is a bad idea if you're trying to encourage growth. Eyelash extensions can damage your lashes and follicles, which can make the hairs fall out faster. Skip the extensions and let your lashes grow by themselves.[11]
- You could use extensions for some special occasions. However, it's almost inevitable that you'll lose a few lashes when you take your extensions off, so you might want to skip them altogether.
- If you do use extensions, always confirm that the glue doesn't have any ingredients that you're allergic to. Otherwise, your follicles could get inflamed.[12]
[Edit]Using Eyelash Growth Serum - Visit a dermatologist for a Latisse prescription. Latisse, or bimatoprost, is currently the only medication approved to stimulate eyelash growth. It's only available with a prescription, so if you want to grow fuller lashes, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss your options and get the right medication.[13]
- Latisse isn't approved for pregnant women or people younger than 18.
- Since Latisse is a prescription-only medication, don't share it with anyone else who doesn't have a prescription for it.
- There are also over-the-counter eyelash growth serums, but these aren't regulated and have mixed results. If you want to try one of these, ask your dermatologist first.[14]
- Remove your contact lenses before using the medication. Latisse isn't designed to use while you're wearing contact lenses, so if you use these, always take them out before applying it. Leave them out for 15 minutes after using the medication, then you can put them back in.[15]
- Apply the medication to your upper eyelash line. The medication comes in a tube and you can apply it like eyedrops. Squeeze the bottle and apply it to your upper eyelash line on each eye. Don't get any on your lower lash line, because it isn't meant for use there.[16]
- The medication might come with a single-use applicator. If yours does, then get rid of it after one use to prevent infections.[17]
- Use the medication daily for at least 2 months. In general, this is how long the medicine needs to work. Be patient and continue with a daily application to encourage lash growth.[18]
- You'll have to use Latisse continuously to maintain a thick and long lash appearance. When you stop, your lashes will probably return to their normal look.
- Your dermatologist may give you different dosage instructions, so always follow the prescription.
[Edit]Styling Your Lashes - Curl your eyelashes to make them look longer. Curling doesn't actually make your lashes longer, but it can make them look that way! Use a regular eyelash curler and clamp it onto your lashes close to the roots. Leave it there for a few seconds, then un-clamp it to enjoy your newly-curled eyelashes.[19]
- Be careful when you're curling. Don't tug or you could pull out some of your lashes.
- Blink while you're applying mascara. This sounds weird, but it's a simple hack to give your eyelashes a little extra curl and coating. Press the brush down near the root of your lashes and bring it up slowly. Blink gently while you do this, which curls and coats your lashes a little more for a fuller look.[20]
- Remember to remove your mascara before bed! If you leave it on, you'll sabotage your efforts for longer lashes.
- Condition your lashes with natural oils. Oils can coat your eyelashes for extra protection and shine. Popular choices include olive, vitamin E, and castor oils. Pick one of these and dip in a clean mascara brush. Then apply it to your eyelashes the same way that you put mascara on.[21]
- Some advice also says that conditioning your lashes can help them grow faster, but there isn't much medical evidence that this is true.
- Thicker oils like coconut oil can actually clog your follicles and inhibit lash growth. Instead, use a thinner oil like olive to avoid any problems.[22]
[Edit]Warnings - While you might come across lash conditioners or growth formulas, these aren't regulated and might irritate your eyes. Always ask your dermatologist before trying one of these products.

| How to Buy a Dress for a Woman Posted: 10 Nov 2020 08:00 AM PST Buying a dress for a woman can be a great way to show her you care. If you feel overwhelmed by the prospect, try not to worry. By assessing her personal style, making sure to get the right size, and choosing a type of dress that suits her tastes, you can give her something she will love and be excited to wear. [Edit]Assessing Her Personal Tastes - Observe what types of dresses she wears. To help you figure out what type of dress to buy, pay attention to the types of dresses she likes to wear. Consider the colors, patterns, and cuts of the dresses she wears, including the shapes, lengths, and necklines.
- This will help you assess what types of dresses she wears to various occasions, as well as what types of dresses she feels comfortable in.
- Listen closely when she talks about clothes. When you are with the woman you are buying a dress for, listen closely as she talks about her clothing, shopping, or when she makes comments about things she likes. Chances are, she will reveal some very useful information that will help you pick out a dress she will love.
- Pay close attention if she mentions particular stores or brands that she likes. This can give you an idea of where you should go shopping for the dress.
- Take notice of the types of dresses she looks at. When you are shopping together, pay close attention when she seems interested in a dress, holds up a dress to look at, or tries on a dress. Take note of the colors, patterns, and silhouettes that she seems drawn to. This can give you an idea of the types of dresses to look for, or may even indicate a particular dress you can buy for her.
- You can also try taking her for a walk past some retail stores to see if she makes comments about any of the dresses in the windows.
- Check her closet for style and brand information. While there may be items in her closet that she doesn't like or wear often, this can be a good place to start to get some of the information you will need when you go shopping.[1] If there are any brands or stores she owns multiple dresses from, write down the names. This will help give you some ideas about where to go look for a dress when you are shopping.
- You might also want to check the fabrics on the tags of her dresses. Some women prefer to wear dresses in a specific fabric. She might also have a fabric allergy or sensitivity.
- Ask her friends and family for style advice. Before you go shopping for a dress, seek advice from people who have gone shopping with her before or who are likely aware of what kind of dress she might like. Ask her friends and family about any particular cuts, patterns, and/or brands that suit her personal style.[2]
[Edit]Getting the Right Size - Look at the tags in her clothes to see what size to buy. The best way to determine her size is to check the tags on some of the dresses that she already owns. It can also be helpful for you to write down the sizes that she wears in different brands and fabric types. Women's dress sizes can differ greatly from one brand to the next, as well as one fabric type to the next, so this can help give you an idea of what size you will need to buy at different retailers or in various styles.[3]
- For example, if she has a dress in a size 6 from one brand that is made from a stretchy fabric, such as a spandex blend, and a size 8 in a dress from another brand made of a less stretchy fabric, such as 100% cotton, opt for a size 8 if the dress you are buying is less stretchy and/or made by the same brand as the size 8 dress.
- Ask the sales associate at the store if you need help. Sales associates generally have expert knowledge about the dresses in their shops, so they will likely be able to help you choose what size to buy. Try to give them an idea of what size dresses she usually wears so they can help you pick out the best size in the brands and styles they have available.
- If the woman you are buying a dress for has shopped at the retailer you are visiting, you may be able to ask a sales associate to look up her order history. This can help you figure out what size you should buy, based on the sizes she has purchased before.
- Opt to buy a larger size if you're unsure if a dress will fit. Because dress sizes vary between retailers and even between different fabrics and styles of dresses, it is entirely possible that her usual size won't fit in the particular dress you are buying. Rather than buying a dress that is too small, going up 1 size is usually a safer bet.
- Buy multiple sizes if you are unsure what to get. If you can't figure out exactly what size to get, you may want to consider buying the dress in more than one size. Keep the receipts so that you can return the one that doesn't fit at a later date.
- Make sure that you can return the dress. Before buying a dress, check the retailer's return policy. That way, if she doesn't like the dress or it doesn't fit, she will be able to return or exchange it for another size or style. If you bought the dress in multiple sizes, you will also want to make sure that you can return the one that doesn't fit.
[Edit]Selecting a Style - Choose a wrap dress for a universally flattering style. If you are unsure what style of dress to choose, a wrap dress is usually a safe bet. Wrap dresses generally have a lower but still modest neckline, and a fitted but forgiving waistline, making them flattering for almost every figure.
- When selecting a wrap dress, make sure that the length of the dress is similar to what she usually wears.
- Go for a sundress if you are buying something for a vacation. If you are buying her a dress to wear in warmer weather, a sundress is a great option. Sundresses tend to come in light fabrics, such as a breezy cotton or lightweight linen, that are perfect for a pool or beach setting.[4]
- If she is going somewhere tropical, focus on finding a sundress with a fun pattern and/or that comes in bright, vibrant colors.
- If her style tends to be pretty simple and sleek, aim for a summery but neutral tone, such as a class white linen sundress.
- Find a simple cocktail dress for an option that is more versatile. If you want to buy a nicer dress but don't have a particular occasion in mind, a simple cocktail dress might be the way to go. A chic white lace midi dress, for example, can easily be dressed up or down. For an even safer bet, choose a black dress that she can wear over and over again to almost any occasion.
- Choose a ball gown if you are buying the dress for a formal occasion. If you have plans to attend a black-tie wedding, charity ball, or pageant reception, you will likely want to choose a formal ball gown. A ball gown is generally fitted at the top through the waist with a full, long skirt at the bottom.
- Ball gowns come with a variety of necklines, such as sweetheart, v-neck, and strapless, so keep in mind what type of neckline she would like that would flatter her figure.[5]
- Buy a slip dress for a date-night option. A slip dress is a great option for a night out if the woman you are buying a dress for has a simple, sexy personal style. Slip dresses tend to have a lower, more revealing neckline, as well as a loosely body-skimming mid-length fit. As a result, many women are always not comfortable in or drawn to slip dresses, so make sure that this style is in-line with her personal taste before choosing to buy a slip dress.
- If you want to buy her a slip dress but are unsure if she likes this style, you may want to consider getting something she can layer on top, such as a denim jacket or an elegant wrap.[6]
- Go for a shirt dress if you are buying her something for work. Shirt dresses are versatile, work-appropriate staples that many women have at least one or more of in their closets. Shirt dresses can also usually be worn year-round, making it a great gift if you want to buy her something she can wear over and over.
- To transition a shirt dress into fall or winter, all she needs to do is add tights, boots, and a sweater.[7]
- To make your gift even more special, have the dress gift-wrapped before you give it to her. Many retailers offer free gift-wrapping when you purchase the dress, making it easily for you to present her with a beautifully-wrapped present.
- You can also gift wrap the dress yourself using unique materials. For example, print pages from her favorite book and use the print-outs to wrap the dress box for a unique and personal touch that will give your gift even more meaning. You can also add embellishments, such as ribbons, notes, and personal photos, to make the dress gift box really stand out.
- Make your gift even more memorable by planning a special way to present the dress to her. Give the dress to her at her favorite restaurant, at a place that is special to her, or during one of her favorite activities.
- If choosing a dress to buy is a bit too overwhelming, you can always opt for a gift card to one of her favorite shops. That way, she can pick out a dress she really loves.
