Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara to lift and curl your lashes. This opens up your eyes and creates a more defined look.
Choose a mascara that matches your look. Different mascaras give length, volume, or a natural look. For durability, use waterproof mascara.
Before applying mascara, wipe off any excess product from the wand on a tissue. This prevents clumps and ensures a more even application.
Applying a lash primer before mascara can add extra length and volume to your lashes. It also helps the mascara adhere better and last longer.
Instead of one heavy coat, use mascara in thin layers. Avoid clumping by drying each coat before applying the next.
While applying mascara, twirl the wand at the base of your lashes. This coats the roots and makes lashes appear bigger.
Running a clean spoolie brush across your lashes after mascara will separate and remove clumps. This also makes the look more distinct and natural.
To enhance a cat-eye or winged eyeliner look, concentrate more mascara on the outer lashes. This elongates the eyes and adds a flattering shape.
Don't forget about your bottom lashes. Use a smaller mascara wand or a lower lash-specific mascara to coat the lower lashes without smudging.
