my lashes used to be awful and scraggly because i was using so much harsh mascara on them until i started to take off my eye makeup with vaseline and i noticed that my lashes dramatically improved - they seemed to grow longer and were super full and soft. i guess the vaseline conditioned them every night

you can get eyelash extensions nowadays, but they are expensive and only last about a month.

what about Kiss Me mascara? it coats the lashes with little tubes to make them look fuller and longer and apparently doesn't harm natural lashes.

try brushing pure Vitamin E oil (found at any health food store, the higher I.U. measure, the better) on lashes with a clean mascara wand every night. my lashes benefit immensely from it. I wear extremely waterproof mascara every day so my lashes end up really feeling the wear and tear unless I use the oil to counteract it.

The Ardell Lash Accelerator gets consistently good reviews on MakeupAlley.

I don't have any personal experience with the product yet, but that's just because it's fairly hard to find... I'd also second the Vitamin E oil rec, as I've heard good things about this method as well!

Good luck to your friend, I know eyelashes are a major contention point for me. If they don't look good, I don't feel right the whole day. Haha, maybe that's just my hang-up.
