Tips, Tricks & Hints: Unmasking Mascara

Mascara should be the last makeup you apply. Apply one coat, let it dry then apply
another. Start at the base of the lashes, wiggle the wand horizontally a few times, and
then brush the wand out to the tips of your lashes.

Tip: If you want to use an eyelash curler to curl your lashes up, apply your curler before you put on your mascara for 5-10 seconds.

– Do not wiggle or pull the curler while it is holding your lashes.

Tip: Mascara color should be brown if your lashes are fair, or black if they’re dark or if you want more contrast.

– Don’t use brown, green, lavender, blue or anything else that’s trendy. The waterproof type is great if you’re going to have a cry in the movies or a swim in a pool.

Trick: For fatter lashes, apply powder to closed eyes, and then apply mascara.

Hint: Straight wands are better than curved ones. The straight wands allow you to get to
the small lashes in the corners of your eyes more easily.

Tip: Don’t throw out your old mascara wands. Clean them in eye makeup remover, and
keep them to remove clumps from lashes with too much mascara on them.

Factoid: Mascara lifespan: Two to three months, tops.
