Dust on Baby Powder
Have you heard about the wonders baby powder can do for your lashes? It's simple as can be, especially since most of us have it lying around the house — and it adds volume like dynamite. All you have to do is dust a little onto your lashes between coats of mascara, and you'll find yourself building up major volume.

Try Lash Fibers ...
If the baby powder mascara tip is a little too DIY for your taste, a product like Make Up For Ever Lash Fibers, $21, can achieve a similar effect. The fibers adhere to your lashes for a volumizing and lengthening boost.

... Or Lash Fiber Mascara
Of course, there are also mascara formulas that come with their own fibers, in case you don't feel like adding an extra step to your makeup routine. Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, $8.99, is a very popular (yet affordable) option.

Tubing Mascara FTW
Along those lines, you might also want to look into tubing mascaras, like the cult fave Blinc Mascara, $26. These form tiny little form tubes around each of your individual lashes, which really helps amp things up a few notches. It also wipes off with water — no scrubbing or makeup remover required.

Bend Your Mascara Wand
Have you heard of this mascara trick? Weirdly enough, bending your mascara wand at the base of the brush will help you gain better control of the application process -- which, of course, translates to fuller lashes in the long run. It's a simple enough fix, and it could translate to major volume — so it's definitely worth a try!
