Mascara Tips To Read Before You Put On Your Makeup

The key to having beautiful eyes that grab attention is knowing how to use mascara correctly. Mascara is the crowning touch when you apply eye makeup. If you've always been nervous about mascara, you'll benefit from these mascara tips.
1. Don't ever pump that mascara wand! Pumping is where you push the mascara brush into the bottle over and over, hoping to coat it with more mascara. It will just encourage the mascara to clot up and dry out more quickly.
2. Not all mascaras are created equal, so take the time to choose the product that's right for you. At the same time, be aware that a lot of them are pretty much the same. Don't automatically trust a label that says you'll get the best results with this mascara. Also, keep in mind that some mascaras (and mascara wands) are indeed different.
If you want extra long lashes then you'll need to choose mascara that offers that formula. If you want thicker lashes you'll need to choose a different one.
3. Mascaras come in different colors, and one of the best mascara tips to follow is to buy a variety. During the day you can have a more light and subtle look. At night, you can wear mascara that's bold and dramatic.
But you can buy mascara in almost any color under the rainbow-- violet, for example. What you buy depends on the look you want either now or in the future. If you keep lots of different mascara, you'll be ready for any event.
4. One of the simplest yet most important mascara tips is to always apply it starting from the roots of your eyelashes. Sounds obvious, but when you've never applied mascara before, it may not occur to you.
Wiggle the wand a little bit when you start at the base of your eyelashes, then position the brush to follow the curve of your lashes. For the most beautiful look, apply a quick second or even third coat.
5. Never wait to apply a second or third coat. If the mascara dries before you've had a chance then you need to wash it off or just leave it alone. Applying multiple layers can be beautiful when you go about it the right way. When you do not it will lead to unsightly clumps.
It's good to know how to use mascara properly, because it can create such a beautiful and dramatic look. Now that you know all these mascara tips, you have a solid foundation to work with. Why not give these tips a try today?
