So in the quest for eyelash lengtheners that really work I asked myself:

Does Caster Oil Make Eyelashes Grow?

The second method I tried to grow my eyelashes was to apply castor oil to my lashes once in the morning and once at night. I think this is a traditional Indian method to grow longer lashes?

Like the Vaseline method (see my post on does Vaseline make your eyelashes grow?), the castor oil did make my eyelashes softer and darker, but I think this was just because of the oil coating the eyelashes. I didn’t notice any eyelash growth form this method either.

I found the castor oil easier to apply, but it was still pretty unpleasant. Castor oil is very thick and almost syrup like and it feels and smells pretty bad too. No matter how lightly I applied the oil, it always managed to get into my eyes and blur my vision. Another side effect from getting castor oil in your eyes is some nasty funky discharge. Also, the castor oil often got onto my skin and made the skin around my temples break out in cystic acne.
