Posted by Dior Co on Wednesday, June 22, 2011, In : Tips

Q: Is it advisable to trim lashes? I have been using Rapidlash and noticed new hair growth. Thing is, my lashes are now uneven. Some a lot longer than others.

A: Do not trim your lashes, at any cost! It might just get more uneven and it's counterproductive. I suggest applying your lash growth serum Rapidlash to the roots of shorter lashes to try to chase the length of the longer lashes. But do not trim them! If you are really bothered with the uneven length of your lashes, I suggest going to...

Q: How do I shift attention away from my dark under-eye circles! Even if I pile on concealer, they are still visible. Help!

A: If you're using the right product, there's no need to pile on too much. Regular concealers can only do so much. For really bad under-eye circles, you might need to use color correctors or neutralizers. For dark circles, which usually are bluish and purplish, mix your regular concealer with an orange corrector.
