How To Apply Mascara
Next to lipstick, mascara is your most effective makeup tool. It is a great
eye opener that emphasizes the lashes. Apart from the obvious choice of
color, many brands promise to thicken, lengthen, darken, volumize and
condition your lashes. They are also available in waterproof and regular
formulas.
Using a proper application technique when applying mascara is extremely
important to achieve a finished look. You must ensure that the mascara
covers the lashes from the root to the tip of the lash.
For your upper lashes, wiggle the mascara wand back and forth at the
base of the lashes to deposit color before rolling the brush through your
lashes. Coat lashes from the very base to the tips with full strokes. This
method creates a thicker looking lash with the ends separated and the
base well defined.
Hold the wand vertically when applying mascara to lower lashes, running
this from side to side. Be extremely careful as to avoid smudging the
under eye area.
When applying more than one coat, combing through lashes between
coats will help prevent clumping.
A Clear Mascara can be used to create a natural effect or on the
brows for extra control.
TIPS: If your mascara is new and the deposit on the wand is plentiful, tissue off the
wand before applying to prevent smudging.
To get more product on the mascara brush try twirling the brush. Pumping it will
cause the product to dry out sooner.
Try experimenting with different colors of mascara - maybe brown, navy or
green.
