Cosmetic Tips: Mascara

If you have ever seen a model’s eyelashes, you realize how amazing your whole body will look with the right mascara. But it is not only important to find the perfect mascara, but it is important to know how to apply that mascara to perfection.

Cosmetics cover a wide array of applications covering just about the whole body. But for mascara, you will generally find that the eyelashes are the main target. Here are a few tips to ensure you have amazing eyelashes.

Replace that mascara on a regular basis such as every 3 months. With old mascara, you will have a dry, clumpy look that is not very appealing. You can easily find a great brand that is affordable too! One idea is to always switch mascaras with the changing of the season.

With a hand mirror, apply your mascara while holding the hand mirror at the end of your nose. You will find you get the entire lash without the missing or smudging. Ick!

Pull the mascara brush slowly through the lash wiggling back and forth. This will give you amazing length and added volume. The added volume does not take more than one GOOD stroke. With practice, you will find it is easy to apply your mascara perfectly each time.

Play with colors. Many people stick to black or a bright color such as blue. Just as different eye shadows look different on different people, you will find different mascaras work for different people too! Explore the color ranges to find which is perfect for your lifestyle and body type.

Clean the brush! Many people are conflicted on cleaning the mascara brush, but about once a week, a good rinsing under hot water will give a good brush a needed cleaning. Mascara can clump on the brush making a mess of your eyes and your clothes.
