How to Make the Most of Your Lashes

Hello my patient readers how are you? This week is finally over, which means I can relax and stop worrying about all the deadlines I have to meet. I am unfortunately, having camera troubles, so you will have to make do without the photos for now, but they will be up as soon as possible. It’s as though every time I announce the next post, something happens, so from now on, I should stop announcing. The camera that I was going to use for the pictures of this post has screen troubles, but I will try to use my higher quality camera if I can. If that doesn’t work, then its my trusty old webcam. Well, onto today’s post!

First Step: The whole point of this quick post is to maximize your lashes, without having to invest in expensive treatments or tricky extensions. We are going to use the most common route, which is mascara. This post is not to help you make your lashes become humongous, but help you apply mascara in a more effective way. Applying mascara may not be a difficult task for many of you, but there are people who are interested, as they have trouble getting their mascara right. Pick out a great combination of a reliable mascara formula, and a great brush. Mascara as a whole is practically useless unless these two parts work together.

Step Two: After you figure out what mascara you want to use, curl your lashes in three places; starting close to the root, in the middle, and close to the tips. This ensures you curl your lashes in a way that it appears both natural, and smoothly lifted.

Step Three: Apply the mascara at the root, and wiggle the brush side to side quickly, while simultaneously turning the brush inwards. This technique works best when you hold the mascara wand parallel to the floor.

Step Four: Apply a bit more mascara on the outer most lashes, which will give the illusion of having wider eyes, and longer lashes overall.

Step Five: Apply mascara on the bottom lashes the same way, gently pat your mascara brush onto a tissue so the bottom lashes will not clump together, from having too much product on it.

Step Six: This step is optional, but you can carefully build up another thin layer of mascara to your lashes. If you followed the steps correctly, a second layer should not be an issue.

There you have it! A quick tutorial on how you can make the most of your lashes. Though this was a fairly simple post, I hope you learned something new. I know a lot of people are fine with the blinking method for their mascara, as well as just quickly putting it on, but this method offers more control and more definition, which will make your lashes stand out a bit better. I hope this post helped you out with your Halloween makeup looks. Take care, and thank you for reading.

Happy Mascara-trying
