Make up artist, Diane Aiello says, "For no brainer perfect lashes choose a mascara that adds volume and length like Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara. Apply two thin coats instead of one thick coat for those perfectly gorgeous 'Cover Girl' lashes."

Diane says, "If you love the look of false lashes, here are few D.I.Y tips when using lashes at home. Apply one thin coat of mascara and only curl lightly if your lashes are very straight. Trim the lashes to 1/8 or 1/4 inch less than the width of your lash line. This will help you achieve a smooth line at the band of the lashes. Apply glue and allow it to become tacky to the touch, then using tweezers or your finger tips place the lashes between the base of the eye lid and your lashes. Press the strip lash gently into the lash line to secure and allow glue to dry for a few seconds before opening. Apply another thin coat of mascara to help blend lashes together.
Follow with a pencil or gel liner along the base of the false lashes to cover any glue and hide the band of the lashes."

But if you are going for a dramatic look, Aiello says, "The last thing you want is for eyes to look tired. Try Olay Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye Roller. It contains a concentrated anti-aging treatment that fights the signs of aging in the eye area providing dramatic results in just 30 seconds. It helps relieve puffiness and fights the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles."
