Mascara Opens-up your Face

A made-up face without mascara is like an ice cream sundae without the chocolate sauce...it's just too bland. Here are a few tips to achieve perfectly thick and separate lashes:  

1. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler. Three pumps is all you need: one at the lash-line base, one in the center, and one at the lash tip...it makes all the difference. 

2. Before you apply mascara, BLOT your mascara brush onto a paper towel or a cotton cloth (something without fibers). Blotting your brush will prevent over-clumping and will allow the clean tip to separate lashes without product getting in the way.  

3. When applying mascara, always start at the lash-base, then, in a zig-zag motion, slowly jiggle the wand up to the tips. Repeat this process 2-3 times until your upper lashes are all well coated, then when dry, apply to lower lashes if desired.  

4. For a thicker lash, allow the mascara to dry before applying another coat to the upper lashes.
5. Using black or dark brown eyeliner, line your upper lash line. This will hide any mascara that has found it's way onto your eyelid skin, and will also add dimension to your lashes, creating an even fuller, thicker look. 

6. Never "pump" your mascara wand into the tube. Pumping the wand will allow air to get in, compromising the longevity of the product. 

7. Always throw your mascara away after 2-3 months. Any dark, moist place is a breeding ground for bacteria. Label your tube with the date of purchase to manage the product-turnover.  

8. High-end products are great (I love "Dior Show"), but spending $25 on mascara every 2-3 months may not be in your budget. L'Oreal & Maybelline are my 2 go-to drugstore brands. These brands are quality, they work fabulously well, and they won't break the bank.
