How to Get the Most Out of Your Mascara

Mascara is a favorite among most makeup enthusiasts. Long, lush lashes add so much to your overall look. Eye lashes create a precise frame for the eyes and make them stand out on the face. Getting the most out of your mascara and achieving fabulous lashes can be done in a few simple steps.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Correct color of mascara (match you skin tone)
• Lash comb
• Patience
• Mirror

1. Choose the right color of mascara to accent your skin tone. Basic black is not right for everyone. Light skin tones should use brown or brown/black.

2. Use fresh mascara and avoid old tubes of mascara that may be dried out and clumpy. Mascara should be replaced at least every three months.

3. Stand in front of a mirror at a close distance or use a hand mirror when applying your mascara in order to see up close what your lashes are doing.

4. Apply slowly and wiggle the brush back and forth while gently pulling the lashes in order to coat every lash and prevent them from sticking together. This approach will also help you achieve thickness and length.

Tips & Warnings

• Purchase the mascara formula that fits your individual needs. For example volumizing mascara works well with thin lashes or lash extending mascara is good for short eye lashes.
• The mascara brush can make all the difference when it comes to fabulous lashes. Purchase mascara with a good brush to make your lashes look their best.
• Lash combs can help separate lashes and make your eye lashes look fuller.
