mascara







Mascara is a cosmetic used to darken, lighten, colour, thicken, lengthen, or define eyelashes. Mascara comes in three forms: liquid, cake, and cream. It also comes in many formulas, tints, and colours. Mascara is available in tubes with wand applicators


Tips for Applying Mascara




Applying mascara is certainly not the easiest thing in the world. From smearing globs of mascara on your carefully-shaded eyelids, to stabbing yourself in the eye with the brush, there are plenty of things that can go wrong for the novice mascara user. Despite these potential obstacles, applying mascara is a relatively straightforward process. Once you get the hang of it, it is easier to avoid common mistakes, and clean up the mess more easily on those occasions when it is necessary.



How to Apply Mascara

These simple steps will help you apply mascara correctly.


Step One: Apply mascara after applying the rest of your eye make-up. Always make sure your lashes are clean and dry before you start applying mascara.

Step Two: Start the application process by curling your lashes. Buying an eyelash curler is definitely a great investment! An eyelash curler can do wonders for the mascara application process. Be sure to always curl before applying mascara, as trying to curl your lashes when they are coated promotes clumping and breaking
To curl your lashes, place the mouthpiece of the curler over your lashes then squeeze the handles together for a count of five.

Step Three: Moving from the inside of your eye to the outside, stroke the mascara wand gently over your upper lashes. Reduce clumping by wiggling the wand slightly as you brush it along the length of your lashes. The wiggling motion not only helps separate your lashes and reduce clumping, it also helps to give your lashes a little more length.

Step Four: Use an eyelash comb to separate your lashes if necessary. This should be done before the lashes have dried.

Step Five: Repeat steps three and four, if you want to apply a second coat. Try applying a second coat over the entire lash length, or over the tips only, to see which works best for you.

* Try some variations from your basic black and brown. Colored mascara is back, and the new season’s shades look stunning.
