Dense, Lush Lashes in Minutes: A Famous Model Shares a Simple Makeup Trick

Women are constantly searching for methods or cosmetics that will make lashes fuller, longer, and thicker. Some of these methods truly work, while others turn out to be merely a wasted time.

American model and one of Victoria's Secret Angels Jasmine Tookes, who has worked for years with the world's top makeup artists, shared her proven life hack, writes Who What Wear. According to her, to achieve the look of dense lashes, it is not at all necessary to glue on artificial clusters or apply mascara in several heavy coats — it is enough to use the right eye-inking technique.

Jasmine Tookes' Secret for Thick Lashes

The model's main trick is tightlining — outlining the upper waterline with a pencil. For this, Jasmine uses a soft waterproof matte dark brown pencil (though everything is very individual). She carefully emphasizes the lash line of the upper lashes, and at the outer corners of the eyes she lightly smudges the pigment, creating a soft, barely-there wing.

In addition to the tightlining life hack, Jasmine Tookes follows a few more rules to create her signature smoky look in the supermodel style 90-style:

easy-looking, imperfect lines. The model believes that crisp graphic wings require too much effort. She prefers softly blended lines that create a natural and effortless effect;

warm chocolate and brown tones. Instead of a deep coal-black pencil, Jasmine chooses a matte warm brown. This makes the gaze softer and the makeup more luxurious and natural;

brown mascara for the finish. To set the result and not negate the lightness, the model applies brown mascara with light zigzag movements from the very roots of the lashes.
