Great lashes are more about the application than about the brand you choose. Here are some great tips to get perfect lashes every time:
- Apply your mascara in front of a mirror with both feet on the ground, not in the car, or on the bus!
- Start with a mascara color that is a good color match for your own lashes. If you are going for a subtle look, try clear mascara.
- Before applying your mascara, give your eyelashes that movie diva drama by using an eyelash curler… carefully! Remove any globs of mascara from the wand with a tissue before you apply.
- To apply, start at the base of your lashes and work your way out with a zig-zag motion, applying more at the base than at the tips to give your lashes a rich, full look. For optimum drama, make your eyes look bigger by just coating your upper lashes with mascara. Leave your bottom lashes au natural.
- If you happen to smudge your mascara do not try to rub it off. First use a tissue to dab the spot. Then dab a drop of concealer on to the smudge until it is complete concealed. Blend lightly by patting with your pinky finger.
- Keep your lashes looking great by applying a drop of olive oil to clean lashes before you go to sleep at night. To make sure you do not get any in your eyes, place the drop of oil on a tissue, bring it up to your eyes and bat your lashes against the oiled part of the tissue. You only need a small amount to reap the benefits. * If you have sensitive eyes though, ask your doctor first.
