Tips on Applying and Removing Mascara


Long, thick and full lashes make your eyes pop. You can get this look with false eyelashes or extensions, but most of us reach for a tube of mascara. Here are some hints for applying and removing your mascara:

Applying Mascara:

For best results, first look down and brush the top lashes from the roots downwards. When finished, look up and brush the top lashes upwards. Still looking up, brush color on the lower lashes. Give this a moment to dry and apply a second coat. Finally, brush with a clean dry brush, to separate the lashes.

Mascara Tips:

1. The simplest way to get big lashes is to pick a good mascara. This is much better than wearing false eyelashes which can get messy and look very bad if not attached professionally.

2. Use a full bristled brush and apply the mascara, and do not allow any clumping, smearing or flaking to occur.

3. Select a hypoallergenic product. These products are safe for the eye area and should not cause irritation to your eyes.

4. Select basic brown or black for color. There are other colors available, like green and violet, and these colors can enhance your eye color or create a dramatic effect.

Removing Mascara:

While removing the mascara try to avoid letting the mascara get on the delicate area below the bottom lashes. Be sure to close your eyes. A cotton ball wet with an eye makeup remover is a great way to remove the mascara. Sweep the cotton ball over your eyes until it comes up clean. Then, splash the eye area with warm water to remove any excess mascara and cleanser. Pat dry, and your done!
