How to Mix?
For your convenient opt for these empty mascara tubes that are just perfect for this purpose. Instead of using old empty commercial mascara bottle, I prefer those because they are clean, really cute and very easy to use. Each of them has a small piece that plugs in on the top once you fill it up with the serum. My advice: don’t fill up till the top. The serum might overflow when you try to put the plug.
How to apply?
Best time to apply this natural eyelash growth serum at night before bed. This way it will allow more time to for the serum to work on your skin and eyelashes. Before you start, clean your face and make-up. Using the empty mascara wand apply gently on your lash line. Be careful and avoid getting into your eyes, because may cause irritation. Wash it off in the morning, and your lashes will look healthy and moisturized!

Some of these oils are heavy, like the castor oil, for example, so don’t over apply the eyelash growth serum as it can weigh down your lashes!
Can you mix all the oils and those same measurements to make one eyelash serum vs making different ones? If not, can you apply all of them the same night?
Hi Griselda,
Different oils have different specifications. It is all about the results you want to achieve, so don’t worry, you can mix the oils.
If I mix olive oil and coconut oil will that help anything? Like will it make my lashes grow? or get darker?
Hello
No, it is not possible to grow eyelashes with the help of coconut oil and olive oil. But using these two oils on your eyelashes can serve numerous health benefits including moisturizing, protecting and nourishing the skin accompanied by adding antibacterial and antifungal properties to the health of your eyelashes. Try mixing coconut oil or olive oil with castor oil to receive effective results.
Hello,
What do you think of switching the Argan oil with castor oil. Will this still be effective?
Hi Stephanie,
Yes, it will be effective. Even better, try adding castor oil instead of removing the Argan oil 🙂
