Nowadays,it seems like everyone is investing in fake lashes, but you won’tneed flashes to make give yourself some extra smoldering va-va-voom.Here are some expert tips on how to deal with the hard to tame beastthat is mascara.
1. Push the mascara wand against the root of your lashes, liking as you gently wiggle the brush through hairs. This lets them pick up more product in an even manner than if you simply chat the hairs with a mascara.
2.Never coat the same kind of mascara too much, as this can create aclumsy look. First, try a thinner formula with a curved brush fordefinition, before finishing with a thicker formula which addsvolume.
3.To avoid smudge stains on your eyelid or under-eyes, simply apply abit of setting powder where the tips of your lashes meet your skin.Do this before mascara application.
4.Lower lash application can be oh so tricky. Use a liquid liner with afine tip to draw small dots along your lash line, between hairs.Then, wiggle mascara through the bottom lashes for a filled out lookthat doesn’t appear artificial at all.
5.Don’t pump the wand in and out of the bottle. This causes it toenter the tube which makes your mascara dry out and clump faster.Twist it instead of pushing and pulling.
6.If you don’t like applying a heavy layer of mascara, enhance a morenatural look by using an eyelash curler which makes the eyes lookmore open, and lashes look longer.
7.Apply black liquid liner to the upper waterline of your eyes. Thiscreates a smoky look but make sure to try it out on a small areafirst if you have sensitive eyes.
8. When applying mascara to lower lashes, tilt your head forward slightly, which prevents mascara from staining your cheek. You can also use a small piece of paper or business card and hold it over the area prone to smudging when you apply.
9.Don’t use mascara that’s old. It’s straight up unhygienic andcan cause infection. If you’ve had it for longer than 6 months,throw it out. If it gets clumpy, toss it sooner.
10. Wipe the brush off before you use it. Most brushes pick up an excess of product that should be gently wiped off with a tissue to avoid spidery looks.
