Mascara Tips and How To apply

Mascara Tips and How To apply


Here we share 15 tips on how to apply mascara correctly. If you have thick clumps, spider lashes, you may be applying mascara incorrectly.

    
* Tip # 1: How to apply mascara. Ace your mascara application with a three step process:

      
Step 1: Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of the lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots - not advice - that gives the illusion of length.

      
Step 2: Pull the wand and lashes, wiggling as you go. Part squirming is the key: Stir separates lashes.

      
Step 3: In this final stage (I always skip), close your eyes and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull up to remove any lumps.
    
* Tip # 2: Keep your lashes clumping. For some, lash combs are simply too difficult. But for some makeup artists, they are a great invention and keep lashes glob-free and perfectly separated.

      
So how do I use? Apply mascara to the lash line. Then whisk in the comb to the tip of the lashes.

      
Not in comb eyelashes? Get rid Clumber without removing excess mascara wand. Wipe wand on tissue, this eliminates blobs BEFORE you start.
    
* Tip # 3: Try a spool (a disposable mascara wand). Sweep a clean, fresh mascara wand through lashes when they are wet. You can buy a pack to Ricky ($ 5 for 15) rickysnyc.com or look in any store that carries cosmetics specialist.

      
You can also recycle old mascara wands. When you finish a mascara, clean the lava tube in a cap-eye makeup remover, then with soap and dry. Keep it clean by washing it every time you wash your makeup tools.
    
* Tip # 4: Mix mascara. makeup artists use to trick pop lashes is to apply a coat of lengthening mascara, followed by a coat of mascara thickening. Remove the excess with a clean rod spool (see tip # 3 above).
    
* Tip # 5: Do not hesitate to color mascara. Basic mascara rules are simple: Black works for everyone but it can be hard on blondes with light skin. Blondes should opt for brown / black by day and reserve black for night.

      
blue mascara lights blue eyes while purple mascara makes brown eyes pop. Mascara is the most popular in the U.S. is Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (photo), a great buy at under $ 6. The company estimates one tube is sold every 1.6 seconds in the U.S.

* Tip # 6: Use an eyelash curler Curling lashes gives eyes the appearance of being wider and brighter. Shoot 'hot air in your corner to sit on the mascara curler for 3-5 seconds to warm up before curling lashes. Touch it to make sure it is not too hot. It's a myth that you have to curl lashes before applying mascara. You can curl lashes after mascara application, just make sure that the mascara is dry first. Shu Uemura eyelash curler is the most popular on the market. Buy Online ($ 19 - $ 24).

    
* Tip # 7: Give a few coats on the edges of the flashing. Blink onto the brush end to give an added layer.

    
* Tip # 8: Powder under the eye before applying mascara. Sometimes traces of mascara, because it is attracted to fatty or corrective eye creams.

* Tip # 9: Zig-zag the wand. Zig-zag the wand back and forth during application helps to reduce clumps.

    
* Tip No. 10: For a spectacular look, apply mascara to top lashes only. To make eyes seem wider, apply to the bottom, too. But make sure you give lashes a light touch. Not great for lower lashes? Try putting a tissue under them before application.

    
* Tip 11: Use a mascara primer. Primers coat lashes and separate them before applying mascara. Makeup artists swear by mascara primer. I tried it and it, but because it is an extra step, I usually use primer only a special occasion, when I spend more time on my makeup. My hands down favorite is Lancome Cils Booster XL.

    
* Tip # 12: Want that 2nd coat? Make sure you do so before the first coat dries, otherwise you will have clumps.

    
* Tip # 13: DO NOT pump wand in and out of the tube. This only introduces air into the tube, which will cause your mascara to dry out sooner than expected.

    
* Tip No. 14: Another smudge anti-tip - bend the wand. A top makeup artist once gave his secret of his firm hand: he always bends his wand at a right angle.

    
* Tip No. 15: Wait five seconds before blinking. You do not want to paint the covers, and you?
