In recent years, eyelash extensions have skyrocketed to popularity, with women determined to achieve thick, brow-grazing eyelashes. However, the lash-lengthening procedure isn’t without its risks. The glue used to apply the individual lashes contains a compound called formaldehyde, which in some cases, can trigger severe allergic reactions and cause permanent hair loss. Fortunately, there’s a brand new crop of eyelash-enhancing mascaras that are equivalent to the lash-boosting procedure, and they don’t require you to lay still for three hours for the desired effect. Read on for five, tried-and-tested, universally-flattering mascaras that will take your eyelashes to gorgeous new heights.
