Coloring eyelashes with mascara: the main secrets and tips

1. To brighten the eyes and create the illusion of eyeliner, press the brush against the base of the lashes while painting over the lashes. The imprinted mascara will imitate eyeliner on the upper eyelid, and will give expressiveness to the eyes. At the same time, it is very important that the mascara is imprinted not on the very upper eyelid, but, as it were, on the space between the eyelashes. Thus, you will get a quick inter-eyelash arrow.
2. Curler is a good solution for those who have straight and not too voluminous eyelashes. Curl your eyelashes before applying mascara and you will appreciate the result.
3. If you notice that no matter what mascara you use, it tends to be imprinted on the upper eyelid or slide down the lower eyelid during the day, go over the eyelids with dry beige shadows or light translucent powder. This will create a dry barrier between sebum and mascara, which will prolong the wear of makeup throughout the day. But in general, it is advisable to apply mascara after a complete eye makeup. It can be minimalistic, nude, made with just beige shadows, but this, in turn, will significantly prolong the durability of the mascara.
4. The interciliary arrow is our everything. In fact, the eyelash arrow itself makes the eyelashes visually more voluminous at times. You can make it with a pencil or liquid eyeliner, as well as a beveled brush. It is important to stain the interciliary space, and not, for example, the upper mucosa.
5. If you overdo it with mascara and lumps appear on your eyelashes, be sure to comb through them with a clean brush. The mascara brush can be cleaned with a cloth or cotton pad if there is already an excess of product on it.
