Baby Powder for Thick Lashes

A friend recommended that I use baby powder on my lashes to help thicken them up. It seems like it would be a great idea because powders typically hold liquid and oils very well. I have searched the web and found mix reviews on this so I though I would give it a try and test it our.
After testing this for two days my lashes have never looked so good! I couldn't find any small Baby powder containers so I went to the dollar store to pick up one. Since I wear contacts my eyes are very sensitive so I was very careful by putting the baby powder on the tips of my fingers and rubbing my eyelashes with my two fingers very carefully. After I put the baby powder on I applied my mascara with the Zig Zag motion and they looked so long and evenly spaced! This is a must!
