A MAKEUP guru has revealed a hack for defining and lengthening eyelashes without using mascara.
She brushed an affordable beauty gel through her eyelashes to achieve her desired look with minimal effort.
Alyssa Nicole (@alyssaesparza) has over 2,200 followers on TikTok, where she shares makeup tutorials.
She used a disposable mascara wand to brush a product through her eyelashes as she revealed a must-try tip.
“I don’t know why or if I’m the only one that feels this but putting mascara on every day is such a hassle because of how annoying it is to take off,” she said.
“I started putting E.l.f Brow Lift on my eyelashes to replace mascara for days that I don’t feel like putting it on.
“It gives the same look as mascara but you don’t have to worry about the fallout.
“This product is so good, your lashes will genuinely stay like this all day,” she said holding up the E.l.f product.
“I’m obsessed so definitely try it out.”
The video went viral with almost 2 million views and over 101,000 likes from people who were amazed by the hack.
Alyssa admitted that she didn’t come up with the idea herself.
“I saw a video of someone doing this with the Anastasia Brow Freeze a while ago,” she said.
“I love it with the E.l.f Brow Lift because of how cheap and good it is!!”
“I have to clean my brush every time I do it because it dries so fast that it flakes if my brush has any residual product,” she added.
“I got a pack of spoolie brushes from Amazon so I have clean ones ready.”
A flood of viewers took to the comment section saying they were eager to try the tip for themselves.
“I love a hack especially when I already own the product [laughing],” one person wrote.
“I feel the exact same way about mascara. I may have to try this,” another said.
“I have never bought anything faster. What a genius idea!!!” a third chimed in.
“OMG ordering right now I need this,” another added.
E.l.f Brow Lift costs $6 and is described as being an extreme-hold clear eyebrow shaping wax that “holds brows in place for a fluffy, feathered soap brow look.”
The brand doesn’t share on its website whether or not the paraben-free product is safe to apply to eyelashes.
Alternatively, they sell a two-pack conditioning clear brow and lash gel for $5 specifically formulated for “healthy, defined” eyebrows and eyelashes.
Dr. Gohara told Cosmo that using products meant for other areas of the body on eyelashes may cause irritation, bumps, redness, and even allergic reactions.
