First i would suggest changing youre mascara, sometimes th one you use might not be strong enough to lift youre lashes, i reccomend estee lauder. If you want them real curly use a good quality eyelash curler and hold it there for as long as you think will be sufficient. Then coat the mascara on, a good way of getting a lot on is to blink while you do it, but whatever way suits you best, your decision. But be careful when applying it because sometimes it can get clunky and look really fake. Also the colour of the mascara may be the problem, if youre mascara is the same colour as youre eyelashes it will look bigger you just wont notice since youre eyelashes are already pretty long (like myne! hehe). Hope this helped
