5 tips for applying mascara

Long and full eyelashes complete your eye look, but it is not always easy to get that perfect eyelash look. I would like to share five tips with you so that you can enjoy the most beautiful eye looks!

The right mascara

The search starts by determining your type of eyelashes. Not every mascara is for you, so make sure you find a mascara that suits your lashes. Do you have long eyelashes? Then it is best to choose a mascara with a long brush.

Do you already have curled eyelashes? Then it is best to choose a mascara with a curved brush, this ensures that your eyelashes are extra lifted.

Eyelashes curl

You can create beautiful curled eyelashes not only with mascara, but also with an eyelash curler . Use this before the mascara and you immediately have a nice base. Never apply mascara first, you run the risk that your eyelashes will stick to the lash curler and you will pull them out... ouch!

To ensure that your eyelashes do not stick together, it is useful to first brush them out with an eyelash brush or a lash separator . First place your curler a few millimeters from the end and squeeze your curler closed for a few seconds. It is not necessary to squeeze very hard, you will only damage your eyelashes. Then place the curler against your eyelid and squeeze it closed for a few more seconds. This way you create a beautiful, lifted curl in your eyelashes that you can then secure with your favorite mascara .

Primer

To get the most out of your eyelashes, it is useful to use a mascara primer. A primer nourishes the eyelashes and makes them even stronger. With a primer you also need fewer layers of mascara, because this product gets the most out of each layer.

Zigzag movement

To ensure that your eyelashes do not stick together, it is best to apply your mascara in zigzag movements. This ensures that all hairs are properly separated from each other and prevents lumps.

Prevent dehydration

To prevent your mascara from drying out quickly, it is best to remove the brush from the tube with a slow and rotating movement. Also do this when you put the brush back in the tube. This prevents air from being pumped in, causing the mascara to dry out less quickly.

Also, don't pump your brush back and forth to get more product out of the tube. All you do is pump air into your tube, which causes the mascara to dry out extra quickly. It is better to build up your mascara by applying several layers. It would of course be a shame to have to throw away your mascara prematurely.
