Lookism.cc - Ascend your eye area
The Softmax Every Guy Needs, long, dense, and dark eyelashes aren’t just for girls. They enhance perceived PFL (positive facial length), reduce upper eyelid exposure (UEE), and improve overall coloring for every dude, whether you’re a prettyboy, mascmaxxer, or even a ricecel frauding Caucasian aesthetics. Combine them with low-set, dark eyebrows and light eyes, and you’ve got a deadly eye area that automatically hardmaxxes your look.
1. Latisse (Bimatoprost) (Not recommended)
What It Is:
Latisse is a prescription serum containing bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog that stimulates lash growth by extending the growth phase of hair follicles.
How to Use It: (Video)
1. Clean your face and hands.
2. Apply a single drop to the applicator (do not overuse; it’s expensive).
3. Swipe along the upper lash line only (don’t apply to the lower lashes).
4. Use once or twice daily until you achieve your desired results, then maintain with less frequent applications.
Results Timeline:
• Noticeable growth in 6–8 weeks. Full results by 12–16 weeks.
Cost: ~$120–140/month.
Verdict: The gold standard for lash growth. Worth every penny if you’re serious about maxxing.
2. Oral Minoxidil
A systemic vasodilator that stimulates hair growth through increased blood flow and activation of hair follicles. It works similarly to topical minox but is more potent.
Dosage: 2.5mg–5mg daily.
Key Points:
• Already talked about it a thousand times.
• Better for overall hair growth than just lashes/brows.
3. Castor Oil & Rosemary Oil
Both oils are believed to enhance lash and brow health by nourishing follicles and creating an optimal environment for growth.
• Castor Oil:
• Thickens and strengthens hair strands.
• Apply nightly with a clean spoolie brush.
• Rosemary Oil:
• Increases circulation to hair follicles.
• Mix with a carrier oil and apply to brows/lashes with a brush.
Verdict: Cheap and natural, but results are slower and less dramatic compared to compounds like Latisse or minox.
4. Eyelash Lift Kit
A DIY kit to curl and lift your lashes, giving them a longer, darker, and more pronounced look.
How to Use It:
1. Warm the eyelash curler slightly with a hairdryer for longer-lasting effects (don’t burn yourself).
2. Use the kit as directed, following the step-by-step process.
I use this lash lift kit.
Verdict: A lash lift + dark lashes = instant aesthetic mogger. Combine with dye for maximum effect.
5. Eyelash Extensions
Semi-permanent lashes applied individually by a technician. They add length, volume, and darkness.
Cost: ~$150–200 for the first application; ~$55–60 for monthly maintenance.
• Takes about 2 hours.
• Maintenance involves cleaning and careful application of eye products (no oils).
6. Dyeing Lashes and Brows
Unironically one of the best softmaxxes. If you have long but light-colored lashes or brows, dyeing them will make a massive difference.
Cost: ~$10 for a 40-day kit.
How to Use It: Guide
1. Apply petroleum jelly around your brows/lashes to avoid staining your skin.
2. Use a spoolie to apply the dye evenly.
3. Leave for the recommended time, then rinse.
Tip: Dye your brows slightly darker than your hair color for a natural but enhanced look.
7. Eyelash Serum
Best Option: The Ordinary Eyelash Serum.
• Apply nightly along the lash line for longer, fuller lashes.
8. Eyelash Transplant (For Cursed Goblins)
Cost: $2,500–6,000.
Procedure:
• Hair follicles are harvested from your scalp and transplanted to your lash line.
• Full recovery takes ~3 months, with results visible by 6 months.
Risks:
• Requires ongoing maintenance (transplanted hairs grow like scalp hair).
• Rare complications include ingrown hairs.
