How to Apply Mascara for Daylight

Many women love to apply mascara to define their lashes and to create a more finished look to their makeup. When applying mascara for daylight, it is best to create a natural look as opposed to a more dramatic evening look.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Separate your lashes with a clean mascara wand. The clean mascara brush should not have any mascara on it. If you ignore this step, your lashes will clump together.

2. Powder your lashes. The powder will set the lashes and will make your eyelashes a bit more noticeable. You can use either baby powder or a makeup powder.

3. Curl your eyelashes slightly. You do not need to heat your eyelash curler for the daylight mascara look.

4. Apply the mascara from the base of the eyelashes to the tips.

5. Finish applying the mascara to your bottom lashes. You want to create a finished look to complement your top lashes. Don't reapply the mascara, or you'll create the dramatic evening look.

6. Remember to use the mascara in moderation. While you are out and about throughout the day, it is a good idea to touch up your mascara, but don't overdo it.

7. Enhance your daylight mascara look by applying some light eyeliner and some light eye shadow.
