How to Apply Mascara
What's the first piece of cosmetics that every girl bought? Yes, the answer is mascara. We stated to learn to apply
mascara since 16 or even younger, however, it seemed no one has taught us
how to apply mascara in a perfect way.
My first
mascara was a gift from my mom when I was 16. It's Maybelline XXL mascara and the color was black. It was not water proof but I loved it so much, for the magical strength it brought to my eyes. And now I am 22 and have used up over 10 mascaras and here are some of my own secret tips about how to apply mascara.
Tip 1: bend the wand Before you start to apply your new mascara on your lashes, remember to bend the wand a little bit, you don't have to bend it too much; an angle of 30 degrees is enough. In my opinion, wand with an angle is more useful and convenient for you to apply.
Tip 2: wiggle the wand at the root After you bend the wand, gently wiggle the wand at the root of your lashes. This will make a line around your lashes and your eyes look even bigger without being dirty or smoky.
Tip 3: eyelash comb is a good assistant I strongly suggest every girl buy one eyelash comb. Don't buy those plastic ones, but steel ones. Most of us don't like clumps, remember to use your eyelash comb right after applying mascara, this is because it's very difficult for you to comb your
eyelashes when they have gone dry; what's more, it's harmful to your lashes, too.
Tip 4: 1+1>2 If you want your lashes look longer and thicker, try to mix two or more different mascaras. My suggestion is you apply your thickening mascara first and before it goes dry, apply your lengthening mascara. Sometimes old mascara goes well with a new one, but that's not very frequent.
Tip 5: choose the most suitable mascara for yourself Don't believe the advertisements too much. Nearly all of the beautiful and wonderful pictures are processed by software, which means the advertisements are only too good to be true. In my experience, some mascara from Japan is very good, water-proofing and not easy to smudge.
In my next article, I will compare some mascara that I have used before, including Estee Lander, Clinique, Lancome and many other brands. Cute girls, just wait for my next appearance!
