Mascara is an amazing product that can enhance any look! When used correctly, mascara can thicken & lengthen your eyelashes to help them look as natural, bold or dramatic as you’d like. Nonetheless just as most makeup application techniques, the art of mastering mascara  does not automatically come naturally to everyone on their first try. Some of the simplest & most commonly made mistakes during the application process can ruin your entire look. Therefore, we want to provide a few tips that can help you to apply your mascara like a pro; we also want to guide you through some of the issues that many people experience with this product.

Unlike most products, your skin type isn’t an important factor when searching for the perfect mascara! The current condition of your natural eye lashes & your desired outcome are the factors you want to consider most when choosing mascara. Some mascara formulas and wands are designed to make your lashes appear longer while other are created to give you more volume. However, there are tricks that can be added to most mascaras to give you the thickness, length & curl outcome you desire.

Here are 10 Tips & Tricks to help you master mascara like a pro:

1. To get mascara perfectly placed on your lashes without transferring product onto your skin, hold a business card/gift card behind your lashes to guard your skin.

2. If you get mascara on your skin, wait until the product dries then use a q-tip to remove the dried mascara. Once it dries, mascara is easier to remove without smearing.

3. To avoid clumpy lashes, gently wipe the mascara wand across a tissue before your first coat; this process will help you remove all excess product off the wand.

4. For longer & thicker lashes, start by moving the wand side to side across the base of your lash then rotate it as you move towards the tip (add more product to the base for  proper support of the tip).  

5. To get the perfect lash curl that lasts all day long, use a blow dryer to heat your lash curler for a few seconds before you applying the curler to the base of your lash, Hold curler on lash for 5-10 seconds.

6. If your mascara begins to get too thick or clumpy, soak the tube in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to thin out the formula & make it easier to apply.

7. To get significantly thicker lashes, apply a thin coat of setting powder to your eyelashes before each application of mascara.

8. If your mascara seems old/dried out, add a few drops of saline solution to your tube.

9. To remove waterproof mascara easily without pulling out your natural eyelashes, wipe lashes with a dab of olive oil or coconut oil.

10. To get the perfect amount of product on your bottom lashes, hold applicator on top of your lashes and flutter/blink your eyelids; this will gently brush the applicator across your lower lashes while applying just the right amount of mascara with each flutter.
