Pay attention my makeup beauties… spider lashes are OUT! Now I know we all want the look of thick long eyelashes, but trust me, it’s NOT cute looking like you have an eight-legged arachnid sitting on the edge of your eyes. It’s time to ditch the drama and swap your spider lashes for a natural look. But don’t worry, if like me, you weren’t born with long thick lashes, you’re in luck! There are lash serums that actually work, and can give you dramatic movie star eyes without making you look like a cartoon character. So let’s dive in and take a look at the best lash serums to give you longer, fuller lashes.
Babe Lash Serum
Let me start by saying I used Babe Lash serum for years because it works! It contains natural ingredients, including Biotin and Amino Acids, and for around $50, is a very affordable option. When used nightly, expect to see results in a few weeks.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Lash Serum
100% vegan and cruelty-free, e.l.f. Cosmetics offers a budget-friendly, affordable serum that contains Antioxidants, Amino Acids, and Vitamins. Priced at around $10, it’s a good option for those looking to try a lash serum without breaking the bank.
GrandeLASH MD Lash Serum
GrandeLASH MD is popular for those seeking longer, thicker lashes in just 4-6 weeks. It’s formulated with Radish Root Extract, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Grape Seed Extract, Amino Acids, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), and Honey & Aloe Vera. Expect to spend about $60 for “luxury-level lashes” (GrandeLASH website).
Latisse Lash Serum
Latisse lash serum is an FDA-approved prescription-strength product that is known to produce thick, long lashes in 16 weeks. Originally prescribed for glaucoma, Latisse has gained popularity as the best eyelash serum by many experts. But with this title comes a hefty price, as Latisse Lash Serum runs around $100+ per bottle. But luckily, many medspas and online sites offer coupons/rebates.
The Ordinary Lash Serum
The Ordinary Lash Serum offers a budget-friendly option for those looking to boost lash growth. While it may not be as potent as some prescription-strength serums, it still works. It’s for this reason, the Ordinary Lash Serum has been called the best eyelash serum for those on a budget.
RapidLash Eyelash Serum
RapidLash is another popular choice for lash growth, and it’s the one that helped give megastar Sydney Sweeney her luscious lashes. It contains a blend of Polypeptides, Biotin, Panthenol, Amino Acids, Soybean Oil, and Pumpkin Seed Extract that has been known to stimulate your lash follicles. RapidLash costs less than $40 and claims to deliver dramatic lash growth results in eight weeks.
Thrive Causemetics Eyelash Serum
Thrive Causemetics is a popular cruelty-free and vegan beauty brand that sells one of the best lash serums on the market. Formulated with natural ingredients that promote lash growth and fullness, Thrive’s lash serum is ophthalmologist-tested and proudly does NOT contain ingredients known to cause irritation or be harmful during pregnancy.* And if you really want to step up your lashes, use Thrive’s tubing mascara for the finishing touches of your makeup.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil
Pure castor oil is a budget-friendly and natural alternative to commercial lash serums that my mom swore by in the 70s. Turns out my mom was right because Jamaican Black castor oil has been used for centuries to promote hair growth, including eyelashes. Simply apply a small amount of castor oil to your lashes with a clean mascara wand every night before bed, and get ready to watch it do its magic.
Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Lash Serum for You
When selecting a lash serum, consider the following factors:
- Price: The best lash serums can range in price from affordable to luxury. Determine your budget and choose a product that fits your needs.
- Ingredients: Look for lash serums that contain natural and nourishing ingredients, such as Peptides, Biotin, and Panthenol. Please note: Prostaglandin Analogs (PGAs) PGAs can increase melanin production in the skin, which can cause darkening of the eyelid skin. This affects around 18% of users.
- Results: While individual results may vary, read reviews and testimonials to get a sense of how effective a particular eyelash serum is.
- Application: Some lash serums require a nightly application, while others can be used less frequently. Choose a product that fits your lifestyle and routine.
Remember, consistency is key when using a lash serum. Be patient and consistent with your application, and you may notice a difference in your lashes over time. Remember, healthy lashes start with a good skincare routine. Make sure to cleanse your face gently, exfoliate regularly, and apply a nourishing eye cream to keep the delicate skin around your eyes hydrated. So, what are you waiting for, it’s time to grow those lashes!
