Shiseido Full Lash Serum, $35, is said to promote visibly full, dense lashes and brows with restorative ingredients that also target dryness, breakage and thinning problems at the root to prevent future damage. According to Shiseido, the powerful, hydrating formula helps prevent lashes and brows from looking sparse, short and thin. Eyelashes and eyebrows appear fuller, healthier and rich with shine. In addition, the serum is:

• Formulated with Arginine, which is known to help restore the condition of hair like lashes and brows.
• Easily absorbs at the roots, quickly delivering ingredients with no mess while helping to hydrate the skin of lash line and brows.
• Designed with a flocked tip applicator to comfortably reach small areas between lashes and into lash line.
• Can be used on both lashes and brows.
• Is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

I used this product twice daily for a couple of weeks. In the morning I applied it under mascara and in the evening, I used it alone. I had never used an eyelash/brow serum before and was very pleased with the results, especially with regard to my lashes. The serum felt great when applied—very rich and nourishing. And it seemed to make my lashes fuller and stronger. As someone with rather sparse lashes, I was very happy to get results and expect even better results with continue usage.

Shiseido Full Lash Volume Mascara, $25 each, available in black and brown.

This mascara creates dramatically bold lashes with a radial brush for full coverage application. The Black Luminous Pigment Technology provides rich-colored pigment with a glossy finish. It was designed with Shiseido’s original innovative 360 radial brush that deeply grabs lashes at the roots and this innovative, luxurious mascara separates and covers lashes for a stunning fan effect. In addition, it has:

• Layer-able resilient and smudge resistant formula.
• Flexible, voluminous finish with curl that lasts all day.
• Been dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

Applying this mascara was a case of love at first swipe! Best mascara I have ever used, and I will never be without it again! The formula is great—thick, rich and glossy—but it is the brush that creates the magic! That nifty little curved shape does wonders to fan out the lashes, and there is absolutely no clumping at all! I was given the black, which was perfect for me, but I think the brown would be great too, especially for blondes. I am stocking up now and advise all you ladies to do the same.
