Lashes: having a set of look-at-me mink ones is something of a Debs/ball/wedding treat.

Not we wouldn’t love to rock the trend more regularly… it’s just they’re so fecking expensive.

Fear not, however! Because one talented MUA from Mexico – Paloma Garcia – has generously shown the internet a hack that has us (and everyone else) completely hooked.

In fact, her Facebook video has now notched up close-to 15m views. Wow!

Taking a pair of cheap lashes she makes them look waaaaaaay more expensive in less than a minute.

Using just mascara, she firmly brushing the false lashes from left to right, creating a fab ruffled effect.

Folk have been trying the beauty hack for themselves – which plenty of advocates swearing by it and confirming that it’s crazy easy.

The viral footage was inspired by an earlier post also created Paloma: that prompted some 525K views and ignited a load of questions from interested fans along with multiple requests for a more-detailed video.

These are just some of the lash success stories that have cropped up in recent days… will you be giving it a go?
