We’re missing a lot of things about the outside world and normal life while in isolation: nice restaurants, visits to the cinema, browsing in shops, human interaction… wow, that last one got a bit too real.
Someone we’re missing (almost) most of all, though? Our lash ladies. Because while our lashes usually rely on these trusty technicians for dear life, our beloved professional lifts, extensions and tints are a no-go right now. And so, we have to make do at home.
Luckily, there are some genius lash care products designed to help you return your straight, short, pale and lifeless lashes back to their former curled, long, tinted and gorgeous glory, and we’ve rounded up the very best of them. Watch out, Bambi.

1000 Hour
Can’t be bothered to apply mascara every day but still longing for a little definition? Try a tint – this kit makes it easy to DIY, delivering waterproof, effective colour to lashes (and brows if you’re so inclined) for up to six weeks.
QVS
Sometimes a little curling action is all you need, and this gentle lash curler is bound to help you hit the ‘wide awake’ brief every time. The curling bar is higher than that of most lash curlers, to spread, fan and lift lashes with every (soft silicone-coated) squeeze.
RapidLash
RapidLash® Eyelash Enhancing Serum
If you want to keep your lash look au naturale but your natural levels of length and volume aren’t cutting it, add an eyelash enhancing serum to your evening routine – this one contains an advanced ophthamologist and derm-tested formula that uses the powers of peptides and proteins to promote growth in just 30 days.
DB Cosmetics
DB Cosmetics Extend-A-Lash Brush On Lash Fibres
Fiddly lash glue isn’t for everyone, we get it: sometimes lash fibres are a better fit. This clever hi-tech tubing mascara uses lengthening black fibres to pretty much create the illusion of instant lash extensions (that wash away at the end of the day instead of requring time-consuming removal; bonus). Not bad for under $20, huh?
Raww
Raww Moringa Lash Impact Mascara
Want lashes as black as the night but not keen to compromise on care? This formula contains growth-stimulating moringa and conditioning argan oil to make sure your daily makeup routine is on the nourishing side rather than the damaging one – best of both worlds.
1000 Hour
1000 Hour Individual Collection Lashes – Short-Medium
If you’re after a little something extra but still want to keep the lash look semi-subtle, individual falsies are ideal. They’re super simple to apply, and are great for layering over light mascara (especially on outer corners) for a fluttery-but-not-too-full vibe.
The Body Shop
The Body Shop Brow and Lash Gel
Lash definition doesn’t always have to include colour – this long-lasting, quick-drying gel helps to tame, hold and define lashes (and brows) while also offering a glycerin and elder flower-powered hit of conditioning hydration.
Ardell
For those devoted to dramatic lash looks, mascara often just isn’t enough (no, not even for sitting on the couch; you’re a glam girl and that’s A-ok). These outer-half style falsies are perfect for popping on – they dial up density without the struggle of trying to pin down those pesky inner corners.
I use Freeze Frame Revitalash. Definately helps prevent breakage and makes lashes longer and stronger.
I’ll confess that I’ve been really slack and haven’t bothered with makeup etc during this revolting isolation thing. As for my lashes, sometimes I get them tinted, and sometimes I DIY with the 1000 Hour kit. It works really well. But thankfully I’ve been blessed with pretty good lashes and majority of the time I just use mascara.
I prefer eye makeup and lashes to be subtle.
Need an eyelash serum that does not cost me a kidney. xD
I have recently used the 1000 Hour Lash & Brow Dye in Dark Brown. Great way to enhance lash and brow colour.
I haven't worn any makeup since this whole social isolation thing started but I wouldn't mind using something to help my thicken and lengthen my lashes
I love a good lash
Can really recommend the RAWW Moringa Mascara. My lashes have never looked and felt better than when I wear it. Have run out. Need to get some more!!!
This reminds me, I need to tint my lashes and brows!
I know it sounds scary but painting the lash glue directly onto your eyelid instead of the band of the lash makes it so much easier to apply (that said, the majority of the time I cant be bothered so I just wear mascara lol)
I have tried many times but cant get false lashes to work for me so I need to stick to good mascaras
Your comment caught my attention and I love a good brown mascara so I've checked it out and it does come in two colours! YaY! so I may try this soon! : )
The only thing that goes on my lashes is mascara.
I would like to get a lash serum. Otherwise trying to give my lashes a break during isolation.
Really need to try this 1000 Hour Lash & Brow Dye Kit would be great because my eyebrows are getting lighter, would like them to be a light brown.
Ahhh, I had an appointment booked for lash extensions the week lockdown rules started so this article is great!
The Rapid Lash Serum is great and really does lengthen the lashes, would highly reccomend.
That Raww mascara sounds great.
Mascara and eyeliner is all I need and since I have naturally dark lashes already, I just skip mascara when I'm in a rush.
I've been using 1000Hr for years: I buy black for lashes & brown for my brows.
Would like to try the Rapid Lash Serum to help improve my short lashes.
I'm keen to try tubular mascara when I use up the ones I have.
I do use an brown eyebrow fibre (thanks to BH introducing it to me); I've been using an eyelash curler since I was 15 yrs old; and I'd like to try the eyebrow dye.
That eye make up is what I want to attempt
Beautiful lashes
My lashes are quite okay so I just use mascara.

I should use a lash conditioner, must check some out again
I've had my eyelash extensions for 7 weeks now and refuse to remove them until they look absolutely horrible lol. I have a few gaps but filled in with mascara they still look fine. I have purchased a lash removal kit for when the time comes, sadly. I also use Revitalash which keeps my own natural lashes from falling out as fast as normal, plus they grow long but unfortunately stay straight. I really need to invest in a good eyelash curler. I've used that Ardell tint for my lashes and brows also, it's super easy. Most of all I can't live without my fave Lancome mascara. Those tubing ones just don't work for me. Wish I knew how to apply falsies that would stick properly and stay on until I took them off
I bought the 1000hr kit for my brows but haven’t used it yet. I should use it on my lashes as well, they are quite dark but maybe fade out a bit at the ends.
Many years ago I used to get my lashes tinted and they looked gorgeous. Over the years I stopped because of so many negative reviews and as I got older I was afraid to have them done again. Thank Goodness for BH and their honest reviews.
I haven't always been too sure about lash serums just because they seem to temporarily grow the lashes and not have any permanent effect. I'm not sure if that makes any sense I just haven't ever been convinced by them even though theres some great reviews on them!
Please stop with this love spell spam!
Yes please
I normally have been using castor oil to keep my lashes healthy. But derma lmd eyelash serum made my lashes grow so thick I basically have a thick layer growing and catching up with my regular lashes! Its so worth the money!
Bought derma lmd eyelash serum it Helped with conditioning my lashes. Used for about 2 months now and I’ve noticed a little longer but nothing drastic. I would still recommend it as it feels as though it helps condition if anything.
