Mascara tips and tricks every girl should know…
TIP# 1 Wiggle your way to fuller looking lashes When applying mascara, wiggle the wand at the base of lashes, then pull the wand up and through to the ends. It’s the mascara placed near the roots (not the tips) that gives the illusion of fuller, longer lashes.
TIP # 2 No more clumps! Keep lashes from clumping, invest in a lash comb and remove any clumps by combing through after applying. Or…clean off excess mascara before applying, by gently wiping wand with a tissue. This eliminates any clumps or blobs before you start.
TIP# 3 A real eye opener Use an eyelash curler to give the appearance of wider, more curvaceous lashes. Then top with your favourite mascara.
TIP# 4 Prevent smudges Sometimes the eye creams and moisturizers we use can cause mascara to smudge. Prevent this by lightly powdering your under eye area before applying mascara.
TIP# 5 The secret to the 2nd coat Love the look of two coats of mascara, but hate the clumps? The trick is to apply the 2nd coat before the first coat is dry. You’ll have to work quickly, but with a little practice, it will all be worth it! TIP# 6 No more dryouts! Do NOT pump your mascara wand in and out of the tube, this introduces air into the chamber and will cause your mascara to thicken, clump and dry out sooner!
