How To Apply Mascara Like A Pro

Nowadays, it seems like everyone is investing in fake lashes, but you won’t need 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 beast that 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 a clumsy look. First, try a thinner formula with a curved brush for definition, before finishing with a thicker formula which adds volume.

3. To avoid smudge stains on your eyelid or under-eyes, simply apply a bit 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 a fine tip to draw small dots along your lash line, between hairs. Then, wiggle mascara through the bottom lashes for a filled out look that doesn’t appear artificial at all.
