An Eyelash Serum for Every Budget

There’s nothing like flawless lashes to complete an eye makeup look. From tried-and-true mascara to falsies, and enhancing procedures like extensions and perms, there are many ways to achieve the lashes of your dreams. However, all these methods can take a toll over time, leaving your natural eyelashes damaged and in need of a little TLC. Thankfully, eyelash serums can give them the nourishment they need to regrow, rejuvenate and return to their full eye-framing glory. Here are a few Picky recommended products for every budget:

It’s no secret the popularity of hemp in health and beauty has skyrocketed in recent years. After all, the benefits of the plant’s non-psychoactive extracts can’t be denied! Milk Makeup’s eyelash serum uses hemp-derived cannabis seed extracts to hydrate and condition the lashes while plant peptides help boost appearance, and ingredients like quinoa, aloe and B5 support follicle health. Plus, the fact it can be used on your brows, too, is a nice, little cherry on top!

  1. Thank you for the recommendation, I’ve tried ordinary lash and brow serum, seen very little results, I’ll definitely try e.l.f

  2. Thanks for the recommendations. I didn’t even know Milk Makeup had a eye serum. I have yet to try Elf. I’m very curious about that one. One I am currently using it The Ordinary. It’s a good one!
