Someone has been keeping a Secret from us! Here are some helpful tips you should know about mascara.
1. Mascara doesn't last forever! It expires after 3-5 months of purchase. So make sure to get rid of it to reduce the chances of getting a bacterial infection. Now that doesn't very sound pleasant at all.
2. Keep your wand! Although you should be throwing away the old mascara, the wand can be used as a spoolie to brush your eyebrows. What I do is I use it as a base to elongate my lashes first and then I use it once more after I have applied mascara in order to get rid of clumps.
3. Take it off. I know after a long day you might tend to forget to take your makeup off or you just don't feel like getting up to do so. I assure you that removing the mascara is crucial because it dries overnight which causes lashes to fall off.
4. Voluminous lashes? We all want that full lash look, want to know a secret? powder your lashes-using baby powder and a cotton swab- before application for an extra umf.
5. Moisture is KEY! It's easy to forget that our lashes need some loving too, and they should be taken care of just as much as the hair on your head. So before bed, moisturize your lashes with olive oil or any moisturizer to keep them hydrated. Just be careful to keep anything out of your eyes.
6. Not every day is a Water Proof day. Water proof Mascara is crucial for those tearful moments but using it every day is NOT advised! Water proof mascara is designed to be difficult to take off so constantly tugging at your lashes can make them weaker and eventually fall off.
7. Keep your eyes open. This is a pretty well known fact but if you don't know here it goes. The key is to try not to blink during application because it'll ruin your mascara. Keep your mouth wide open, that way it's a bit harder to blink.
8. No more smudging! Hate getting mascara on your eyelids? I know I do. Avoid them by placing an old business card or plastic spoon on your eyelid, right above your lashes. Apply your mascara in this position, and any excess product will go onto the business card or spoon, not your eyelid.
9.Seal The Deal. To add a finishing touch to your mascara. Coat your lashes with clear mascara after application. This will help to solidify your lashes and protect the mascara from smudging or running.
10. Have you found the one? There are so many different types of mascara with different functions. You have to find which is right for you. It's kind of like dating, you have to go through trial and error to finally get to the good stuff. Do you need to lengthen? curl? give volume? Whatever it is you need, there’s a mascara out there waiting for you. If you can't find it, try mixing different mascaras together to result in you perfect looking lashes.
