Did you know that you can use a special paint for eyelashes, that, once applied, stays for weeks? You cover your eyelashes with it, wait some minutes, and wash it off. Then you can walk around without any mascara for at least two weeks. Some people also cut their eyelashes at the tips (just a little bit), so they would grow faster, and look more lush after that. You can also ask for some oil that helps them grow faster in a pharamacy.

I think, this would be great for you because it thickens and adds tons of volume to you lashes. While nourishing them, and keeping them healthy with the "Volume" part. It has two parts -- Volume and Length.
What's happened to your lashes is, you have used so much mascara that it has completely weakened your lashes, and made them unhealthy. This is a very easy and common thing to do, with mascara. Because you want more, more, more! But unfortunately, you do have to break the habit. Try using only one coat per day, and see how that works for you (it worked for me.)
Maybelline Mascara XXL will make your eyelashes look longer and thicker.
But honestly, if you want the real problem taken care of... Cut back on your mascara usage. Save it for the nights you go out with friends, etc. Don't use it when it's not necessary. Good luck! [ TARAfying's advice column | Ask TARAfying A Question ]

NEVER sleep with mascara on. i hope i helped!

Use a nice mascara like Maybelline Great Lash, not some cheap dollar store one that will clump like there's no tomorrow.
And when you take it off, be gentle. Use baby oil and water- I think it helps condition your lashes, and gets rid of every last bit of mascara without hardly any rubbing at all. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]
