We know how important beauty prep is in the run-up to your wedding day. Something Made In Chelsea's Sophie Habboo knows all about after getting hitched at the weekend to partner and podcast co-host, Jamie Laing.
Let's be honest, long eyelashes are a need, not a want. You want to be sure your lashes are always looking their best but particularly on your wedding day. The answer? Investing in a lash serum, of course.
Recently Sophie took to her Instagram to share the lash serum she swears by to get her lashes wedding ready. She revealed she's loving the UKLASH's Eyelash Serum as her lashes are looking longer every day.
It's not just Sophie who swears by this make-up bag must-have, recently Molly-Mae Hague took to YouTube to share her glow-up routine which included the UKLASH serum. Molly-Mae went on to say how this product has helped with her lash growth journey since giving birth to her sweet baby girl, Bambi.
Looking to treat yourself to a new lash serum? If it's good enough for Sophie and Molly-Mae, it's good enough for us. Keep scrolling to shop some of the best lash serums to save you from ever reaching for the falsies.

Made with a formulation of vitamins and peptides to encourage lash growth and nourish your existing lashes, the Eyelash Serum from UKLASH is one to add to your beauty routine.
Unfortunately, though, not everyone is blessed with luscious lashes that would put their local lash tech out of business, or can afford a lash lift and tint every month. Sometimes false lashes are the only way through.
But fear not, friends. If you're tired of falsies and want your natural lashes to be the main event, eyelash serum will save the day.
Despite usually being associated with skincare (like these divine vitamin C serums), a serum is also incredibly beneficial for hair follicles as it can promote growth and contains many nourishing properties.
Serums for lash growth have been hot on the market recently, especially with the success of cult beauty brands like XLash, Revitalash and The Ordinary.
Ready to live your best lash life? Then look no further, because we've listed the best eyelash serums available to buy right now.
Gloriously long lashes await.

What ingredients should you look for in an eyelash serum?
Castor oil
Serums work to give your natural lashes a boost, especially if they contain oils such as castor oil.
According to Dr Nick Fisherman, a trichologist who works closely with Watermans, black castor oil, for example, is known to moisturise and increase hair growth.
"It also helps prevent hair breakage", he says, and it's safe to use on your eyelashes.
"Castor oil is a safe and proven remedy that has been used for a while to treat conditions like hair loss. Castor oil can thicken eyelashes if you use it continuously."
Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks of collagen and keratin. Peptides can easily penetrate the hair follicle and can aid in preventing breakage and increasing moisture.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E can moisturise and strengthen the eyelashes and is found in many skincare and haircare products.
