15 TIPS TO APPLY MASCARA LIKE A PRO

Mascara. Most women have a love and hate relationship with this simple makeup item. We love what he does for our appearance. The right mascara can completely change your appearance. There is nothing that emphasizes beautiful eyes better than thick and lush eyelashes, and mascara is the way most of us can achieve those magnificent eyelash sweeps. On the other hand, mascara can also be the fall of that natural and beautiful aspect that you are trying to achieve. Nothing screams cheaper than thick and thick eyelashes, mascara and mascara flakes splashing your cheek.

While the mascara you choose has a lot to do with the look you get from it, there are also many tips for applying mascara that can help you get the look you want: thick, lush eyelashes that frame your eyes and make them the focal point of your face. Here are fifteen expert tips on how to apply the mascara to make the most of your makeup.

1. Start with clean eyelashes. It may seem obvious, but the mascara adheres better to dry and clean eyelashes. Gently touch with a handkerchief to remove any makeup residue or moisten before applying mascara.

2. Save the mascara for the final touch. Apply mascara AFTER applying eyeshadow and eyeliner.

3. Choose the right color mascara for your eyes. Black mascara is suitable for anyone, but it can be too hard on blondes with pale skin. Brown or brown/black mascara is a good choice for blondes, especially for daytime wear. Brunettes can wear black at any time. The color mascara may seem disguised at first, but the results can be impressive. Navy blue mascara can really highlight the blue of blue eyes, and purple mascara can make brown eyes look amazing. Try green mascara with eyes of any color to really highlight them.

4. Forget all curved, long and "specially developed" wands that promise thicker and longer eyelashes. A short and straight mascara brush gives you the most control and the best options to apply mascara.

5. Do not pump the wand into and out of the mascara tube to cover it with a mascara. It will simply introduce air into the mascara and make it dry faster. Instead, rotate the mascara wand on the tube several times (open and close) to obtain a uniform layer on the brush.

6. Watch for drops of mascara on the brush: they will simply be transferred to your eyelashes. Gently brush the brush over a handkerchief before applying it to your eyelashes to remove excess mascara that may accumulate on the eyelashes.

7. Apply mascara under the upper lashes and over the lower lashes.

8. To apply on the upper eyelashes: open your eyes well and slightly tilt your head up. Place the brush horizontally against the base of your eyelashes and turn the brush towards the tips. Move the brush slightly to the side and repeat until you have covered all the eyelashes.

9. To apply on the lower eyelashes: Open your eyes wide and again, tilt your head slightly upwards. Holding the brush vertically, carefully stroke the tip from the root to the tip of some tabs at the same time. This requires practice, but the results are worth it.

10. To separate the eyelashes, use a metal eyelash comb. Tap gently from the base to the tip of the eyelashes after the mascara has dried.

11. Use a eyelash curler before applying the mascara or after the mascara has dried.

12. To make the eyelashes look thicker, apply a thin line of eyeliner at the base of your eyelashes before applying the mascara. With practice, you can also use an eyeliner pencil to draw a very thin line along the top of the lower lashes. Use brown or gray instead of black for a more subtle appearance. The difference it will make in your eyes is dramatic.

13. To make lashes appear longer, apply mascara with the wand held vertically as you would for lower lashes. It takes a little longer, but the results are impressive.

14. Don't forget the eyelashes in the corners of your eyes. To apply the mascara on the corners of the eyelashes without problems: clean the mascara wand to remove any groups from the tip. Hold the tip of the wand right in the corner of your eye, just touching the eyelashes. Blink gently once or twice to cover the eyelashes.

15. For really lush eyelashes on special occasions, try this old Hollywood trick: apply a layer of mascara. Before it dries, carefully caress the baby powder or face powder along the tips of the eyelashes. Let dry, then apply a second layer of mascara on the powder and let dry.

Quick Repair Tip:

If you stain a bit of mascara while you put it on, apply it with the corner of a folded handkerchief dipped in moisturizer or cleanser, then clean it.

Quick Finish Tip:

Carefully fold a facial handkerchief to obtain a smooth edge. Gently slide the edge up under the eye under the lower lashes. Blink gently once or twice to remove excess mascara.
