Fear not dear reader, for here's another one. . . . . .
For Luscious Lashes, Leave 'Til Last!
Whether you favour a volumising one, one that adds length, one that curls or one that does all three (or claims to at least!), ensure you get the best out of your mascara and leave it’s application until last.
When you use powders on the eyes or face some will always fly loose and settle on your lashes. If you’ve already applied your mascara before powdering, the powder will fall on your lashes, stick and make them look dull and messy.
If you apply your mascara last you’ll be covering up all the powder on your lashes which has the added benefit of making them look thicker! Add a couple of coats of mascara for extra volume, not forgetting to do both the upper and lower sides of the lashes. For added oomph, use lash curlers to open your eyes up even more.
You should curl your lashes before applying mascara, not afterwards. If you do it afterwards, firstly you might crack the mascara coating your lashes and will get some drop down onto your face, and secondly you might actually damage your lashes and end up with shorter ones where they've broken!
So, when it comes to luscious lashes it's powder, curl, apply, apply!
I believe that you don't have to spend a lot on a mascara to get great results.
At the moment I'm using Maybelline Falsies on myself and, once I got used to the curved brush, am loving the effect it gives - really lifts and curls.
I also love the Lash Stylist which comes with a comb-like applicator to smother on the product - it adds loads of volume and really lifts and separates!
