Want all the lash volume and none of the lash glue? You’re not alone. You could end up spending hundreds of dollars on eyelash extensions, lash lifts, or falsies, all to leave your natural lashes damaged and eyelids irritated. Instead, create your own volumized lash look with easy-to-use-and-remove volumizing mascaras, celebrity makeup artist tips, plus a few application techniques that can turn the thinnest of lashes into full, thick, stand-out lashes.
Does Volumizing Mascara Work?
Volumizing mascara works by making eyelashes appear darker, thicker, and fuller, though, the effectiveness of volumizing mascara typically lies in the formula and brush type. To make lashes look thick and full, volumizing mascara formulas contain special polymers, waxes, and micro-fibers that are made to help evenly and effectively coat & plump the look of lashes. These formulas are also usually buildable, meaning you can layer on multiple coats of mascara to maximize volume. When it comes to mascara brushes, the shape and size of the brush can play a crucial role in how well the volumizing mascara distributes the product and builds up the lashes. These brushes may have densely packed bristles or a spiral design, like our Hypnôse Drama Mascara’s “S-Shaped” curved convex mascara brush, which helps to coat each lash thoroughly and evenly for maximum volume.

Application Techniques to Build Lash Volume
To build plush, fanned-out lash volume, grab your favorite volumizing mascaras and reference these easy application techniques to maximize lash thickness and fullness.
Start by applying a priming mascara base. Our award-winning Cils Booster XL Lash & Mascara Primer glides on smoothly and evenly, creating an even surface layer to maximize the results of volumizing mascara. Micro-fibers cling to lashes, which creates a voluminous base before you even apply mascara.

Before your mascara primer fully dries, apply your volumizing mascara using a wiggle motion at the base of your lashes before pulling the wand through to the tips. Use this technique to deposit more product at the base for an even, full lash look. As you pull the mascara wand through for your first coat, close your eye slightly and use a zigzag motion as you coat each lash. This ensures thorough coverage from root to tip.
Build lash volume by applying multiple thin layers of mascara, allowing each layer to slightly dry before adding the next to avoid clumps. You may like to keep a lash comb on-hand to separate lashes if needed. For precision on smaller lashes and bottom lashes, hold the mascara wand vertically and apply the formula using gentle horizontal or vertical strokes. This technique will give you better control over the amount of formula that gets applied to these smaller lashes and avoid a heavy feel.
To create a bold and flirty look while building volume, add an extra coat of volumizing mascara onto your outermost lashes to fan them out, making your eyes appear wider. To do this, take the tip of your mascara brush and apply the formula precisely onto each lash. Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sheika Daley tells us, “The [brush] tip usually has extra formula on there, so it’s great for creating that extra beautiful volume look.”
Want bold, smoldering drama? Apply a waterproof eyeliner pencil or gel onto your upper lash line to define your eyes and intensify your waterline. Take your waterproof eyeliner, like our Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil, and apply it directly on the waterline, as close to the lash line as possible. Smudge out hard lines or apply a tightline, whichever look you prefer. Apply to both top and bottom lashes for maximum drama.

How to Remove Volumizing Mascara & Waterproof Makeup
To remove volumizing mascara effectively, especially if it's waterproof, start by selecting an oil-based eye makeup remover, like our Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover. Saturate two cotton pads with the remover, press them gently over your closed eyes for about 20-30 seconds to dissolve the mascara, and then wipe downward gently without pulling. For any remaining residue near the lash line or under the eyes, use a cotton swab dipped in remover. After all mascara is removed, start your cleansing routine or rinse your face with lukewarm water to clear any leftover remover. Keep your eyes calm and hydrated by applying a gentle, nourishing eye cream to hydrate the sensitive skin around the eyes. Use this method for thorough removal without damaging your lashes or skin.
