The Kardashians, Jenners, and Biebers take turns when it comes to new beauty discoveries and creating the biggest viral trends. It-girl Hailey might be the biggest, but billionaire Kylie Jenner is also hard to miss. A few years ago, she naturally started the trend of plumping lips. With her technique of applying lip liner and lip gloss for the fullest lips ever, she now comes up with something new.

Kylie Jenner shows once again that a new beauty trend doesn't have to be complicated at all. Her latest mascara hack is so simple that you wonder why we haven't been doing this for years. And all with something you probably already have in your makeup bag.

By using black mascara only on your upper lashes, you create volume and a lifting effect. But the secret lies in the brown mascara on the lower lashes. That lighter color looks much softer and friendlier than black, making your eyes appear larger. Black mascara under your eyes can quickly be too harsh, which gives a tired or smaller eye appearance. Thanks to the brown shade, you achieve exactly the opposite: an open, bright look, and that's what we want.

Kylie shared this tip in a makeup video, where she uses her own Kylash Volume Mascara Duo, a black and brown mascara that you shop as a duo. Since then, the hack has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. And not without reason. Because besides looking beautiful, it's also so easy for your daily routine. You don't have to be a makeup artist to apply this. Curl your lashes, a layer of black on top, a bit of brown underneath, and you're done.

I actually haven't worn mascara on my lower lashes for years because I always found it too heavy on my eyes. But I got excited about this tip. My eyes look bigger and fresher as if I've slept well for nights (which is not the case with two little boys). Really, this is one of those things where you think: why didn't I know this earlier?
