Wait, how to apply mascara? Many of you might be thinking about the same. Hence, we are here to teach you how.
How to Apply Mascara Like a Pro?
Curl Your Lashes
The first step to mascara application is curling your eyelashes. Use an eyelash curler to lift and lengthen your lashes. Curling will ensure that the mascara adheres perfectly to your eyelashes.
Use an Eyelash Primer
Similar to skin primers, eyelash primers prepare your lashes for the mascara. This also helps in thickening and separating lashes. Thus preparing them for mascara.
Apply one or two coats of mascara primer on your top and bottom lashes. Wait for 30 seconds before applying mascara.
Apply Mascara on Your Upper and Lower Lashes
Now, the main thing. However, the real deal is not the mascara application but also the way you take the mascara wand out of the tube.
Regardless of whichever brand of mascara you use, twist the wand out of the tube and wipe off excess product on the edge of the tube. This will prevent smudging as well as avoid clumpy or heavy eyelashes. Furthermore, do not pump the wand in and out of the tube as it can dry the mascara wand.
Firstly, look up, and place the wand at the base of your upper lashes. Wiggle it back and forth, coating your entire eyelash line. Slowly pull the wand upwards towards the tip of your eyelashes. Make sure you are coating every part of your lash without making it clumpy. Let it dry. Apply additional coats in the same way until you get the thickness you want.
Now, applying mascara to bottom lashes is a little difficult as too much product can create lumps. As bottom lashes are more delicate and prominent, any lumpy section shall be apparent. So, use the tip of the wand and only apply mascara at the roots of the lashes. Wiggle the bristles back and forth to even out the coat.
Clean Up Smudges
Applying mascara is messy and smudges are common around the eyes as well as the skin around the eye. Surprisingly, even professional makeup artists end up making the same mistake. Also, it is not a big deal. Take any eye makeup remover and a cotton swab. Gently press it across your eye and on your eyelashes to remove the extra product.
Makeup is just like a painting. You get a wand, colors, and a palette. The only difference being the palette is your skin. Mascara application is messy but with the right method, you can get the look you desire. Follow these simple tricks and let us know if it helped you. We hope this was a useful read.
