Your Ultimate Lash Guide
Finding the right formula is important but the art of achieving long, fluttery lashes begins before you reach for the wand. Simple steps like lash prep, wand placement and proper care are often overlooked but can make all the difference.
Discover how to prep and care for your lashes, plus pick the perfect formula for your lash preferences.
Prepping your lashes
Our best-kept secret for fluttery, fanned-out eyelashes? A couple of clamps of the Goddess Curler.
The Goddess Curler has the ability to shape and curve your lashes with ease. The lightweight, ergonomic design is slightly rounder and larger than regular curlers, making it easier to manoeuvre and more versatile for a broader range of eye shapes. It also comes with soft, padded cushions (including a spare insert) to prevent pinching and ensure optimal eye hygiene.
If you’re new to lash curling or looking to improve your technique, follow these easy steps.
Begin by holding the Goddess Curler up to your eye. While your eye is open, open the curler and place your lashes between the clamps. Get as close to the base of your lashes as you can, being careful not to pinch the eyelid. Gently close the clamp on your lashes, and hold closed for a few seconds. Once you release, move the eyelash curler out and repeat in the middle of your lashes and once at the tips for a complete curl.
Choosing the best formula
With two multi-award-winning formulations on offer, we’re going to talk you through both so that you can decide which will be the perfect addition to your beauty routine.
Our original and best-selling Goddess Mascara was inspired by the beauty rituals of the Ancient Egyptians, who many believe to be the originators of holistic beauty. The Ancient Egyptians believed in the restorative powers of plants and shared their wisdom in the first-ever recorded medicinal text written by mankind - Ebers Papyrus. The Ebers Papyrus states the oils which are considered most sacred, one of which being Moringa Oil. Moringa Oil is a key ingredient within the Goddess Mascara as it is one of the world’s most abundant sources of natural vitamins and minerals to highly nourish and regenerate.
Also found in the Goddess Mascara is Castor Oil for lash health as well as certified sustainably sourced Beeswax. Beeswax is what offers smudge-proof and water-resistant properties, allowing you to enjoy all-day wear (yes - even after swimming). Despite the formula not budging, it can still be easily removed - simply melt away the wax with warm water and wipe away - we recommend removing using the Organic Bamboo Cleansing Kit.
With over 150,000 tubes sold and countless accolades, it’s safe to say the Goddess Mascara has secured its cult status within the beauty industry. A staple amongst makeup artists, beauty editors and insiders alike, this richly pigmented mascara will coat your lashes with ultimate precision.

With a formula as foolproof as the Goddess Mascara, you might be wondering what inspired us to work on something new. We introduced the Lash Lift Mascara for our customers who sought a vegan and natural alternative. As always, we set out to create a product that was uncompromising on performance. Since its release in 2017, the Lash Lift Mascara has secured best-seller status amongst our Goddess community and beyond.
Best described as an instant and natural lash-lift, you’ve found the one within the Lash Lift Mascara if you dream of dramatic lashes but don’t stand for the chemicals that often accompany them. This luxurious, vegan-friendly formula is 98% organic and naturally derived and enriched with a nourishing blend of sacred, plant-based ingredients for lash health.
Featuring marine algae (Laminaria Digitate), which is well known for its hair-regenerating and revitalising benefits. Laminaria Digitate also offers a rich source of iodine, iron and potassium and antioxidants.
Galactoarabinan is a naturally derived, plant-based collagen extracted from larch trees. It plays a pivotal role in cellular renewal and is responsible for maintaining the strength and elasticity of hair.
The Lash Lift Mascara focuses on lifting, curling and lengthening the lashes. The innovative double-sided, curved comb wand was thoughtfully crafted to replicate the natural shape of the upper and lower lash line. This allows for the wand to reach and coat each lash with ease.
Perfecting your technique
There is more to the humble mascara wand than you may think. Layering, placement and perspective all come into play when perfecting your lashes
For a natural look, we recommend applying one coat. For thicker, more dramatic lashes, layer with two or more coats.
The key to perfecting your technique lies almost exclusively in your timing. Allow each coat dry slightly, but not completely, before layering on more, which means you want to alternate between your eyes when applying product. We recommend building the layers while moving back and forth between the eyes.
To lengthen your lashes, rotate your brush from root to tip as you apply it.
For volume, start at the base of the lash line and wiggle the brush through the hair in zigzag strokes. This will add volumes and promote lash separation whilst ensuring you pick up the shorter lashes too.
Finally, perspective is everything. When applying mascara, take a step back from the mirror occasionally to see how your lashes look. This will help you determine whether you need more – or less – to complement the rest of your makeup.
Prioritising lash care
Caring for our lashes doesn't always make the top of the to-do list, but the benefits are there if we are willing to put in the work.
The Universal Lash & Brow Serum works to visibly thicken, lengthen and enhance your lashes and brows. This innovative formula is universally tinted to suit all brow and lash tones and is made with 100% vegan, ethically sourced ingredients. It doesn’t stop at that, this gentle formula is infused with Star Anise and Rosemary Extract to promote growth as well as bioavailable essential B-complex vitamins and minerals for lash health.
When it comes to long, fluttery lashes (without the falsies) and thicker, fuller brows, consistency is key. You need to allow the product time to work and remain consistent with your application to fast-track your results.
