How to Thicken and Lengthen Your Eyelashes Naturally

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

Have you found that your eyelashes have become thinner and shorter over time? After three kids, and a lot of stress…. they are just a lot thinner than they used to be.

I have been seeing a lot of creams and other things to use to make your eyelashes grow longer and make them thicker… I just didn’t want to put the money into an experiment.

Then I came across this little post and decided to give it a try (Eyelash Thickening Serum) It sounded easy enough!

Eyelashes go through a constant cycle of loss and regrowth. It’s hard to treat them like we should because we’re always smothering them with mascara. (Well… at least I do)

There’s a simple and natural way to be kind to your lashes and it requires only 3 ingredients! Fractionated Coconut Oil and PURE Lemon and Lavender Essential Oils.

Fractionated Coconut Oil has a natural pulling action that draws out impurities and enters the eyelash follicles to stimulate regrowth. It also absorbs into the skin making it ideal for topical therapies! It’s feather-lite emollient effect provides a soothing barrier without clogging pores and is excellent for both dry or troubled skin. It isn’t greasy and it won’t stain or go rancid. It’s just perfect for nourishing and moisturizing eyelash follicles!

Adding 1 drop of Lemon can enhance the oil’s cleansing and stimulating properties.

Adding 1 drop of Lavender nourishes your lashes and follicles.

Add the Essential Oils in a 10ml roller bottle and top it off with Fractionated Coconut Oil, shake, and you’re done

How to Apply:

Gently coat your lashes with the serum after washing face (make sure all make up is removed)

Blending and storing your eyelash serum in a 10ml roller bottle will give the Lemon and Lavender good dilution and ease of application!

You can find the blue glass roller bottles {Here}. The 10ml size works perfect!

Ready for my results?

You can’t really tell much of a difference from these photos… but I can definitely tell a difference!

Hello...Is it possible to find out how long it took to get the improvements in your eye lashes as seen in the pics? Thank You :)
Katherine says:

I can see a difference! Very cool! I want to try that...my lashes are not as thick or luxurious as they were when I was in high school and college.
Ann says:

Wow, that looks amazing and would love to try it but so tired of spending money on non working stuff. Can you please advise what size bottle of the oils that you purchased? I'm looking at the 5ml to start off with which is cheaper but not sure if that will be enough. Thanks, Ann
Kris says:

Hi! I did it for a week. My lashes didn't get too much longer but they got thicker. :) I'm going to keep at it for a month to see what happens!
robin ellis says:

is this something that you are selling, the mix of the 3 ingredients and the roller bottle, I would like to purchase. your results are great
Bev says:

Your results look great, I'm going to have to give this a try too. Here is a great product for the Essential Oils. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/67835538110766015/
Kris says:

Hi Ann! That is all I have is the 5ml bottle. Each bottle holds 85 drops. All you need is the small one of lemon and lavendar. :)
Angie says:

Some of the links in the post are incorrect. I almost bought lime oil instead of lavendar! Hope this works as well for me as it did for you. :)
Alice says:

Kristen - you can definitely see the difference in your lashes! They look great! I will definitely be trying this. Thanks so much for the info!
Kiirsten says:

Fabulous post! (However, just a heads up... both lavender links I clicked on took me to the page to buy lime oil instead.) I love your posts, thanks for the fun info!!
Diana says:

I'm making this tonight ... I can see a difference and a week is really not much time. Can't imagine how they will look after a month a treatment ... Thanks for reminding me of this Magic Wand for your eyelashes ;)
Rita says:

I'm not sure on how many drops of lemon and lavender to a 10ml bottle....it can't be just ONE drop of each and then top off with the FCO, could it???? Please advise....Im just an idiot!!!
Kay says:

Could you please clarify if you have used only ONE drop of the lavender and the lemon to that 10ml bottle???? Seems strange there would only be one drop of each, but that is what is says! Thanks, excited to try it!
Joanne says:

Some of the links are still incorrect. it's now 10:11pm cst.
Kris says:

Nope... you are right (I had to read it a few times myself before I tried it) 1 drop of lemon, 1 drop of lavender, and the rest with the FCO. You don't want the lemon and lavender strong... if you did... it would hurt like a bugger if you got some in your eyes. :)

Kris says:

I am so sorry! I fixed the links when I saw your comment... I just didn't push update. They should all be working now! Thanks for letting me know!
Kris says:

They are now fixed! Thank you for letting us know!
Kris says:

Hi Robin! I wish they sold it all together but you have to buy each individual item. Click on the highlighted items and it will lead you to where you need to go! Also don't forget the code "6sisters" for 10 percent off your entire order.
Kris says:

Thanks for letting us know Angie! I'm glad you bought the lavender instead of lime! Yikes! It is fixed now!
karen says:

I'm allergic to lavender is their a replacement for it?
Alecia says:

Karen, I was wondering the same! I am allergic too!
Holly says:

Just put castor oil on the base of your lashes. It's super cheap and it really works. You notice a difference after a few days. I even had to stop putting it on every day because my lashes got too thick. You can get castor oil at Walmart or Shirlyn's.
Kim Lunsford says:

Did you have mascara on your lashes in the first 2 photos? Mascara makes my lashes thicker and longer.
Ccarr says:

This may sound crazy but, I was thinking that this may work for my SEVERELY over plucked eyebrows (if I apply it very carefully) my eyebrows refuse to grow?!?!? Please advise :-)
Susan Stoll says:

Want to try the eyelash treatment
Vickie Langhals says:

Ordered the oils and so excited to give this natural was a try. So tired of paying for other eye lash enhancers that are expense and have caused my skin to turn red. How long does the oils last in the blue bottles? Thank you for posting this natural way of helping our lashes. I will let you know my results. Xoxoxoxo
kate says:

Don't buy a roller ball bottle! Just clean out an old/empty mascara tube and fill it with the treatment. Then just apply it like you would mascara.
kate says:

yup! I haven't tried this particular treatment yet but if it does what it's supposed to do then it will definitely will make them thicker:) Also, don't waste money on a roller ball, just clean out and fill an old mascara tube and use that.
Kathy says:

Wow! Okay, I've been doing this after reading this, but even taking time off and being irregular about applications, I can see a huge difference in my lash length! I don't think mine have gotten thicker yet, but the length is amazing! I have been trying on my brows, but haven't noticed a difference there. I'm definitely recommending this for lashes though!
jen says:

how were they like after a month? when you say "top it off with the coconut oil" how much are we talking about here?
Carla says:

I clicked on the link for the roller bottle and it specifically says: "Caution: Some essential oils may interact with the Roller Fitment causing an increased flow of oil or the roller ball to fall out. Avoid using with citrus and frankincense essential oils (singles or blends). Before each use please test the roller ball to make sure it is securely in place. Please exercise caution with each use and avoid using product around the eye area." Have you had any problems with the roller bottle?
Jayme says:

The picture is a it misleading, as you're obviously wearing mascara in the final after photo. You can clearly see the small clumps of mascara on your lashes whereas there aren't any in the two previous pictures.
Giny says:

Jayme... the third photo clearly states she is wearing mascara. No misleading going on.
Hayley says:

I have used coconut oil on my lashes for a long time. I notice a difference within a few days in both the thickness and the length. Vaseline also works good too http://www.squidoo.com/beauty-benefits-of-conconut-oil-hair-skin-lips-body-hair-growth
Monette says:

I would use castor oil, it draws things out also and helps the lashes, I would NEVER use coconut on my face, Especially the eye area that is far more fragile skin.....as great as it is all over the rest of our body with all its terrific properties, its TOO heavy to put on your face, over time coconut oil will drag your skin down...It's one of the first things I learned in the yr long course I took on making natural and therapeutic products.. :-)
mariajohnson says:

Well that sounds interesting. I always wanted a lengthier and healthier eyelashes. I use mascara to make my eyelashes appear lengthy and beautiful. http://alturl.com/4gvtr
Stefanie says:

Hi there, I am very curious about this mixture!! Can you use regular virgin coconut oil?? instead of the fractionated kind? I just wonder what the difference is and if you can use virgin coconut oil instead! I really want to make this tonight! Let me know! Thank you!
Nikki says:

How can I tell if it really works when your add has the eye lash model wearing lash extensions. The before and after pic looks the same.
anna says:

do you apply it with a old mascara brush?
Cyd says:

We used a 10ml roller bottle. A Qtip would work too.
Margaret says:

I am happy someone is suggesting that. What's the point of wearing falsies or extensions all the time?? Beauty should be beautiful. Some oils can really help with that not talking about professional serums! I really go for Cherish Lash conditioner, - it helped to everyone I knew. I keep on presenting it to my relatives))
Tasneem says:

What is shelf life of this serum??
Stacy says:

You are doing amazing work! Thanks for sharing your wonderful posts. I could never go back to my normal lashes now. I loved Latisse, but it is very pricey. So I decided to purchase the generic version of Latisse which is the Careprost. So happy 😊 I finally found ‘GETLASH24’ ❤️ in Google and got careprost (same as Latisse, but it’s a way cheaper, thanks girls ). There is no difference to me. Latisse and Careprost are the same thing. I have had phenomenal results with it. It is well worth the money for me. After trying it, I will never be without it! My lashes are twice as long and thick and I am already being asked if they’re natural, to which I can happily respond ”Yes”!
