Here Are The Top 5 Eyelash Growth Serums for Asian Lashes!
As an Asian, I’ve always dealt with the EYELASH STRUGGLE! Everyone wants longer, more luscious lashes, and it seems for most Asians, that task is nearly impossible! You can curse genetics all you want, but it won’t make your eyelashes longer. However, more recently products have been popping up that CAN HELP! Woohoo!
Eyelash Growth Serums and Mascara Growth Serums can both help provide the right ingredients to help boost eyelash growth and even make your eyelashes longer, thicker, and more luscious. I’ve been experimenting with lash serums for about a year now and testing different ones with my co-writers, and we have found some of the best lash serums out there, specifically focused on Asian lashes!

Liaison has it all, a good value, safe ingredients, and (brace yourself) it works! We tried Liaison after we found the 50% off code SECRET50. We gave it a six-week trial and found our journalist Steph Yu’s eyelashes to have a fuller, longer look. The ingredients are natural and don’t cause irritation or burning, and the instructions are straightforward and simple. It’s really the best of everything packed into one product. Effectiveness, safety, and value all rolled into one.

Latisse is probably the most well-known eyelash serum on the market, and a few of my Asian friends swear by it. But they’re also some of my more affluent friends... and Latisse is definitely one of the most expensive lash serums around. For its effectiveness, it certainly has a hefty price tag, especially with results often being mixed. Some women claim it works wonders for their eyelashes, while many are left with lackluster results.

WooLash has garnered some great press for its natural ingredients and claims to use healthier supplements to improve your eyelash and eyebrow growth. This is essential for women who have sensitive eyes. I’m not sure if it is genetic, but a few of my Asian friends have very sensitive eyes and are afraid to put anything, even mascara, near them. WooLash could be for them... But does it work? Not so much. There’s about a 51% effectiveness rate, which means you’re flipping a coin on your lashes. And at that point, you might as well roll the dice with a serum that is just as safe, like Liaison, but with a higher effectiveness rate.

Another safe alternative if you’re worried about eye irritation is Castor Oil. Kate Blanc provides a well-concentrated castor oil (yes, that stuff you sometimes cook with). It’s all-natural ingredients make it safe, and there’s certainly no harm in using it. It can help keep lashes healthy, but we haven’t seen extremely great results. If you’re working on a budget, there’s no reason not to use castor oil, just don’t expect miracles.

And for those Asians that want that extra push for longer lashes while still looking fabulous, Liaison makes an amazing Mascara Bond that doubles as a mascara and an eyelash serum. It’s just as effective as the Liaison Lash Bond except it can be worn during the day when you’re out and about. For best results, I’d recommend doubling up, using Masara Bond during the day and adding the Lash Bond at night before bed.
To find out more, we talked further with our investigative reporter and fellow Asian Stephanie Yu who has been researching beauty products and their ingredients for years. We wanted to know why she recommends Liaison Lash Bond specifically for Asians, how it works and if she stands by her choice….
Personally, I never believed in the effectiveness of eyelash serums. There’s a lot of brands out there claiming they work, but most don’t, and many use ingredients that can harm you. I’ve had too many friends tricked into buying serums just to find out it’s a waste of money and their lashes are worse off than when they started. So I’ve avoided it at all costs.
But then my best friend, who I trust with my life, swore by Liaison’s Lash Bond. She said it worked within 4 weeks. I, of course, didn’t believe her. But then she showed me her before and afters and I was stunned. Week by week, I could see her eyelashes getting healthier and longer. Then I asked to see the ingredient list….
I was even more stunned to see healthy, effective ingredients listed on the bottle. Not a single ingredient caused alarm!
I begged her to let me borrow her Lash Bond. Instead, she gave me a secret 50% off code, SECRET50, and I ordered two bottles immediately.
I received the package within two days and started using it that night. The application is very simple, a small amount across your eyelashes before you sleep. It feels like placing water on your eyelid. Of course, I woke up the next day expecting a miracle… but alas, it takes longer than that to see results.
So while I waited, I looked into the science of Liaison. I wanted to know how it worked, and what it was aiming to do with my lashes…
Step 1: When you apply Liaison, a fresh supply of oxygen and citric acid work away at lash waste, releasing it through your pores to be washed away and clearing the way for nutrients.
Step 2: A specialized mixture, including purified water and hyaluronic acid, activates internal peptides and gains access to follicles to prepare for bold growth.
Step 3: Polypeptides travel deep into your roots, supplying follicles with essential proteins throughout your day and while you sleep.
Step 4: Refreshed lash follicles continue to receive the optimal oxygen, blood flow, and dose of nutrients needed to keep lashes healthy and strong.
After about 3 weeks is when I began to notice the color of my lashes getting darker. 4 weeks and I noticed I didn’t have to apply as much mascara. By week 6, it was as if I was a totally different woman.
Since then, I’ve continued to apply and my lashes have only grown thicker and healthier. The amount of money I save on mascara from having to use less product is now used for Lash Bond.
I’ve been converted into a lash serum believer, and hope you will, too.
Absolutely LOVE Liaison Lash Bond, it’s my favorite serum to use. Just look at the results!

It only took 4 weeks to start seeing results. I’m so happy it worked, I hated my short lashes.

I tried so many different lash serums, and Liaison is the only one that actually worked. I swear by it.
