QUICK TIPS: If you have oily skin or sweat a lot: To prevent mascara from transferring to the eyelids, prime your lids with a translucent powder. Mascara can break down when coming in contact with the oils on your skin, and the primer will help prevent this. Start the mascara application at the base of the lash, and as you move upward slowly wiggle the wand back and forth. This creates a more even application as well as separates the lashes. This also helps "thicken" the lashes.
MORE DETAIL:
1. Unscrew the cap from your mascara tube and examine the mascara wand for clumps. If you see any clumps, wipe the wand on a tissue or on the end of the mascara tube in order to remove them.
2. Apply mascara by wiggling the mascara wand slowly and gently from the base of the lashes outward. This creates a more even application as well as separates the lashes. This also helps "thicken" the lashes.
3. Half-close your eye and gently run the mascara wand over the top of your lashes, being careful not to get mascara on your eyelid.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 to apply additional coats until you have the length and thickness you desire. It is recommended to apply additional coats while the mascara is still wet.
HOW CAN I GET A FULLER LASH LINE?
If multiple coats of mascara aren't providing the fullness you are looking for, check to make sure you are coating the lashes at the inner and outer corners of your eyes. They are commonly missed, especially when applying makeup in a hurry, but can create a fuller look. False eyelashes can also be used for more dramatic looks.
SHOULD I APPLY MASCARA ON MY UPPER LASHES ONLY OR ON MY LOWER LASHES AS WELL?
For a light, natural look, we recommend applying on the upper lashes only, particularly if you have fair skin and light eyes. If you have darker eyes and/or are looking for a more dramatic look, you could apply mascara lightly on the lower lashes. Wiggle back and forth from root to tip (starting on the upper side of the lower lashes) to separate and add a hint of color.
WHEN DO I USE AN EYELASH CURLER?
If you are using a manual eyelash curler, please curl your lashes before applying mascara. It is recommended to curl lashes immediately before applying mascara (one eye at a time) for best results. If you are using a heated eyelash curler, we recommend curling after the mascara has dried for best results.
