Not all lashes are created equal. If you were born with perfectly dense, long, even and luscious lashes, we suggest you count your blessings and stop reading this article. But if, like us, you would like your lashes to be a little thicker, a little longer and a lot more spectacular; read on.
In the last few years technology has so advanced that we no longer have to suffer second-rate lashes. Extensions, growth promoters and smart mascaras mean just about any girl can get lashes to rival Twiggy. 
We know the power of pretty lashes so we’ve tried and tested to bring you the best new eyelash enhancing products.
The night shift conditioner
Jan Marini Eyelash Conditioner
Jan Marini Skin Research has been developing products that provide men and women with skin and hair solutions for three decades now. They are dedicated to bringing the latest scientific innovations to the masses. Marini Lash is a gel-like formula that conditions your lashes and encourages growth to give you gorgeous, dense and lush lashes.
Rescu. Roadtest:
This product is super easy to use and delivers serious results. Simply apply sparingly to a clean and dry upper lash line, as though you were applying eyeliner every night before bedtime. After about six weeks we noticed our lashes were thicker and longer. With continued use they were spectacular. When applied every night, the tube lasts six to eight months, making it a very worthwhile investment!

The two-in-one mascara
Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara
We love the convenience of Revlon’s latest Fabulash Mascara. It combines everyday mascara with a lash enhancement treatment so you can wear mascara and help your lashes grow stronger at the same time. Key ingredients such as wheat protein, panthenol and phytantriol combine to help condition and strengthen lashes, complimenting the natural grow cycle by helping to prevent premature breakage.
Rescu. Roadtest:
The oversized brush made our lashes look instantly longer and the mascara formula didn’t flake or transfer, leaving luscious looking lashes all day. We found after a few weeks of use, our lashes had grown stronger and thicker thanks to the unique fibers and phytopeptide complex.
Available in three shades from major department stores, shopping centres and pharmacies ($21.95)
The miracle serum
Shu Uemura Lash Builder
This revolutionary eyelash serum works in three ways. It supports natural lash growth, prevent lash loss drunk make-up removal and smoothes the lash surface to maximize mascara finish.
Rescu. Roadtest:
We found our lashes to be visibly longer, thicker and fuller within about a month of use. This product easily fits into any beauty regime. We used it before using the eyelash curler and mascara. It works like a primer for your lashes, protecting them from make-up and removers while working to support growth.
Available exclusively at David Jones ($46.00)
The extreme volume Mascara
Rimmel Max Bold Curves
Rimmel’s newest mascaras uses a huge, curvy brush to create dramatic lashes. Rescu. loves Rimmel’s mascaras, they are generally a great bargain buy and work wonders on our peepers so we were excited to try their latest offering out.
Rescu. Roadtest:
Just as we expected, Max Bold Curves delivers serious results. The bulky brush is a little tricky to use but well worth it for the full, lifted lashes it delivers. The curvy brush means the product is more evenly distributed along the lash line to deliver beautiful, voluminous lashes. We love!
Available from October 2010 from David Jones, Priceline, Kmart, Target, Big W, Coles and pharmacies ($15.50)
The steal serum
L’Oreal Paris Renewal Lash Serum
This offering from L’Oreal is less expensive than other serum products and still delivers good results. It is an intensive treatment designed to boost the lashes, providing complete coverage from root to tip.
Rescu. Roadtest:
We found far less lashes fell out during make-up removal. After four weeks of regular use, our lashes were much longer and thicker. During the rare moments we went mascara-less, we noticed our lashes looked not only longer but shinier and healthier. A great product for a great price!
Available at pharmacies, department stores, variety stores and supermarkets ($25.45)
