I want short, stubby eyelashes — said no one ever.

Flirt Flashes Lash Applicator helps place lashes so it’s easier than ever to apply falsies. For the mascara-averse among us (you know who you are), these individual pieces will never smear, smudge or run making them perfect for a wedding, date or a late night at work when you just want to treat yo’self.

Meet the grande dame of eyelash curlers: Surratt Beauty’s Relevée in drop-dead sexy black chrome. Placing the curler as close to lashlines as possible, curl with just one pump (if your hairs are on the straighter side, do three pumps moving up toward the root). ($30, sephora.com)

Benefit They’re Real! Tinted Lash Primer is an all-flattering shade of mink brown and is ideal for weekend wear when you’re going for that “no-makeup makeup” look. The formula is packed with provitamin B5 so lashes feel silky soft. To amp up the drama, add a layer of mascara. ($24, sephora.com)

One trick we’ve learned from celebrity makeup artists is to ink upper lashlines before applying mascara so that color can be combed through hairs as a base coat. Lancôme’s Grandiôse Liner has a bendable brush that makes it easy to get into corners. Lupita Nyong’o is a fan! ($32, lancome-usa.com)

Next time you’re at the drugstore, don’t hem and haw over which one to buy. Try Gigi Hadid’s favorite — Maybelline’s the Falsies Push Up Angel Mascara. The long, curved comb with hybrid bristles fans lashes out for a feathery look that won’t clump, we promise. ($9.50, ulta.com)
