Mascara - How To Apply Mascara Properly!

Next to lipstick, mascara is your most effective makeup tool. It is a great eye opener that emphasizes the lashes. Apart from the obvious choice of color, many brands promise to thicken, lengthen, darken, volumize and condition your lashes. They are also available in waterproof and regular Maybelline Makeup formulas.

Using a proper application technique when applying mascara is extremely important to achieve a finished look. You must ensure that the mascara covers the lashes from the root to the tip of the lash.

For your upper lashes, wiggle the mascara wand back and forth at the base of the lashes to deposit color before rolling the brush through your lashes. Coat lashes from the very base to the tips with full strokes using Maybelline Makeup Mascara. This method creates a thicker looking lash with the ends separated and the base well defined.

Hold the wand vertically when applying mascara to lower lashes, running this from side to side. Be extremely careful as to avoid smudging the under eye area.

When applying more than one coat, combing through lashes between coats will help prevent clumping.

A Clear Maybelline Makeup Mascara can be used to create a natural effect or on the brows for extra control.

TIPS: If your mascara is new and the deposit on the wand is plentiful, tissue off the wand before applying to prevent smudging.

To get more product on the mascara brush try twirling the brush. Pumping it will cause the product to dry out sooner.

Also, try experimenting with different colors of mascara - maybe brown, navy or green for a great, edgy look!
