How to Apply Mascara
When it comes to makeup, mascara is one of the most popular
beauty products on the market. Mascara defines and brings
color to the lashes, and highlights and dramatizes eyes.
Different formulas can enhance your lashes in different ways.
Follow these cosmetic tips to get the eye-enhancing lowdown on
applying mascara.
Step 1
Consider the types of mascara and select one appropriate for
your lashes and the occasion. You have a choice of lengthening,
thickening, long-wearing, conditioning and waterproof formulas,
among others. For day, you might decide to add length, while a
night on the town may require a long-wearing or thickening
formula.
Step 2
Select a color. If you have blond or red lashes, opt for brown
mascara. Darker-lashed women can consider brown for a casual
look, and black or brown-black for more pronounced or dramatic
lashes.
Step 3
Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler, if desired, and apply
all other eye makeup prior to your mascara.
Step 4
Remove the wand from the tube in one pull. Pumping the mascara
will push air into the tube, potentially drying out the formula
and introducing bacteria into it.
Step 5
Begin with the underside of your upper lashes, moving the brush
slowly upward toward the tips of your lashes. Always hold the
wand parallel to your eyelid. Roll the brush slowly on the
upward stroke to promote separation of the lashes.
Step 6
Allow the first coat of mascara to dry before applying the
second coat in the same manner.
Step 7
Use an eyelash comb to separate the wet lashes. Also blot the
lashes with tissue paper if necessary to remove excess mascara.
Step 8
Use less mascara for the lower lashes. Begin where the lashes
meet the rim of the lower eyelid, and gently stroke downward.
Step 9
Remove any stray mascara around the eye with a cotton swab
dipped in a small amount of eye makeup remover.
