It seems myself, like others in my
beauty circle are always looking for the next best mascara. As lusting over long lushes eyelashes has
been an addiction, as long as I can remember.
So, today, for my month of mascara posts, I am going to share with you my top 6 tips to applying mascara like a pro.
Tip 1:
Mixing them! Yes, I know the thought of having to spend money for one multiple
mascaras to do the job you wish one would do, has always been frustrating to
me. But honestly, over the years, I’ve
found that my lashes look the best when I mixed a few! The best results, have
been from mixing a volumizing mascara with a lengthening one. See some of my favorite mascaras below.
Tip 2: Use two different tones
of mascara on your lashes. For example,
use a carbon mascara (the blackest) on the top and a brown on the bottom
lashes.
Tip 3: Prevent clumps:
- The best way is to prep your lashes
first. You want to make sure that you
start with clean eyelashes.
- Prior to
application, you want to blot your mascara wand on a piece of tissue, this will
help to remove any access mascara.
- When
applying, do it in a zig zag approach.
Tip 4: Make use of an
old cleaned wand & bend it. Using a
wand when the brush is bent at a right angle works wonders!
Tip 5: Application:
- When applying mascara, you want to do a back-and-forth motion, moving the wand in
a upward sweep. The upward sweep helps to create the illusion of curly eyelashes.
- For long lashes focus on the corner lashes, this will help your eyes look brighter & more opened.
Tip 6: Fuller lashes:
- Apply some black eyeliner to the upper waterline.
- Dust your lashes with powder, bronzer or a dark eyeshadow before applying mascara. This will allow the mascara to adhere to the lashes, building thickness. This is a great DIY approach to the fiber formula mascaras.
