OK, so everyone has a tube of black mascara. Some of us even have tubes of exotic colors like purple and green but if you're over 29, they really shouldn't be worn unless it's Halloween or Disco Night. A lot of beauty experts say to use two coats of black for night events. This is not necessary either.

Another coat just on the tips of your lashes will give you all the drama without creating the shadows that age eyes in any light. I hate black mascara. Partly because everyone thinks they need to wear it and partly because nothing ages you faster than lashes that look like furry caterpillars on your face. The only women who should be wearing black mascara are women with NATURALLY black hair. No one else. Black is the color most heavily photographed and advertised because it shows up on film.

That does NOT mean it's the most appropriate shade for you unless you qualify under the stipulation above. I know, I know, your mom used it, your junior high friends used it, all the girls at high school had some weird competition to see who could slather the most of that goop on and still look awake. Bleah, I say.

So what are you supposed to wear if not black? Brown hair of any shade should wear brown/black mascara. No darker. You are not a drag queen (most likely) and a certain level of "natural" is expected and encouraged in the workplace and out. SuperExtend Mascara in brown/black from Avon gives you the look of lash extensions instantly without clumps.

Redheads and blondes should wear (you guessed it) brown mascara. Why? Because dark black eyelashes paired with light hair looks ridiculous. The best curling mascara I have tried is Avon's SuperCurlacious Mascara in brown. When applying, don't use a sawing motion. Place the brush at the base of your lashes and ROLL it up and over the tips. One pass should do it and you\'ll see the fantastic definition you crave in a color that is incredibly flattering. Do the same on your lower lashes being careful not to smudge.

Ask a salon service on how to make eyelashes longer and they will charge you somewhere along $200 to $300. Appointments with eyelash specialists usually fetch these kinds of obnoxious rates for having semi permanent eyelashes. What's worse is that these fake eyelashes would eventually come off after a period of time. If you're into burning dollar bills for something that's not natural and would eventually come off, then you could go ahead and have these extensions installed.

What if there was a way for you to have your eyelashes grow thicker, fuller, and longer - naturally?

There is a natural way you can learn how to make eyelashes longer and you're going to thank me for letting you know about it. Now we all know that there are so many herbs and plants in this blue planet of ours. All in all, there are more than 250,000 flowering plants with different sub species and that's just the flowering plants. The amazing thing about nature is that for each and every plant, each part can have its own medicinal and even cosmetic benefits. Remember, plants have different parts: the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, flower seeds and saps.

Chamomile extract is one component that can do wonders for your eyelash. As a whole, it promotes the growth of healthy hair. Applying this to your eyelash regularly would enhance the rate by which your eyelashes grow.

Another extract that could induce eyelash growth is honey extract. Granted that honey is not really derived from plants, it is still a byproduct of our biosphere, particularly of bees who go from flower to flower to suck their nectars. Honey's role in the growth of eyelashes is to moisturize, and to give hair flexibility and nourishment. It has lots of carbohydrates and enzymes which acts as antioxidants which play a vital role in hair loss treatment.
