e.l.f. Enhancing Lash and Brow Serum
$8 at Amazon
We’ve tested 35 differenteyelash growth serums, with prices and fancy formulas that rocket up to $100, and our top recommendation is this $8 tube from e.l.f. Cosmetics. The non-irritating formula gave our testers falsie-like fringe in just two weeks of regular use. Its skinny brush easily swiped along the lashline and the product didn’t goop up on our lashes — plus, we could apply mascara right after.
