How To Apply Mascara
Hello ladies! This is basically for u...One question i get alot from people is what mascara i use.I have somewhat small eyes and refuse to leave the house without mascara because the moment mascara is applied the eyes suddenly appear to be normal size (I was blessed with long lashes perhaps that helps) I even wore mascara in the 100degree heat and my friend was blown away by the staying power of the mascara .
Here I share my 15 best mascara tricks and tips, plus how to apply mascara .
How to Properly apply Mascara
Ace your mascara application with a 3-step process:
Step 1:Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. With the mascara placed near the root not the tip that gives the illusion of the length .
Step 2: Pull the wand up and through lashes,wiggling as u go.The wiggling part is tje key because it separates eye lashes.
Step 3: In the final step (which I always skip),close the eye and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any clumps.
Pick the Best Mascara For You
When picking a mascara,you should consider the formular you want (lengthening,thickening,waterproof or non-clumping). You should also consider price.You can get a good basic drugstore mascara or spend more money on a luxurious mascara.I foundout that the fancier mascara go on with less clumping and last longer, but it's likely no one would be to tell if you are wearing a drugstore brand or a departmental store brand.Iprefer urban decay,MUD or Tara mascara and i use waterproof mascara in summer.
How to Keep Lashes from Clumping
For some, lashes combs are simply too fussy. But for some makeup artists, they're a great invention and keeps lashes glob free and perfectly separated. To use a lash comb, firstly apply masc
ara at the lash base, then wiggle the lash comb through the tip of your lashes.
Not into the lshes comb?Get rid of clumbs without them by removing exceses from the wand . Wipe wand on tissues,this eliminates blobs BEFORE you start.
Another great way to get rid of clumps is to sweep a clean,fresh mascara wand through lashes when they are wet,either buy new ones or recycle old ones.
Recycle an old mascara wand if you don't want to bother with spoolies. When you finish a mascara, clean the wand in a cap full of eye makeup remover, then wash with soap and dry. Keep it clean by washing it whenever you wash your makeup tools.
Don't Be Afraid to Mix Mascaras
A trick makeup artists use to make lashes pop is apply one coat of lengthening mascara followed by one coat of thickening mascara.
Basic mascara rules are simple: Black works for everyone but can be harsh on light skinned.Very light skinned should opt for brown by the day and black for night. Burgundy or plum colours make blue eyes pop, as do blue mascara.Purple mascara looks great on brown eyes.
Use an Eyelash Curlet
Curling lashes gives eyes the appearance of being wider and brighter ,apply mascara on both top and bottom lashes.Not great at getting bottom lashes? Try putting a tissue under them before application.
Use a Mascara Primer
primers coat lashes and separate them before you apply mascara.I tried it and like it but because its an added step i usually use mascara primer on special occasioms when i spend more time on my makeup.
Thou shall not pump wand in and out of tube, this only introduces air into the tube,which will cause your mascara to dry out sooner than it should. Bend the wand.
Since i have long lashes i try to wait 5 seconds before blinking after i apply mascara or I end up with mascara dots all along my lid. I also doublecheck my lids before I step out becauses chances are good, I've got those dots going on and it's embarassing to find out hours later that you've done a poor makeup job on yourself when a beauty editor by trade.
