Get Long Eyelashes: Correct Mascara Application

Isn’t it a great thing to know that when most individuals are asked what specific thing has attracted them to another person, they will usually say: “His/Her eyes?”

The eyes of a person always seem an enigmatic quality of capturing the attention of other people. All of us surely love that glam look of Hollywood celebrities courtesy of their long eyelashes. Even if this might sound old fashioned, up to this day and age, it still looks gorgeous.

Mascara was actually first used by the ancient Egyptians. They used to mix crocodile droppings and kohl and then this will be applied on their eyelashes using little sticks. But the good news is that you no longer need to bear with this kind of tedious and probably gross way just so you can make your lashes thicker and longer. The real secret in having long lashes lies on how mascara is being applied. Yes, you even don’t have to use a lash curler! Here is the step-by-step process for the proper application of mascara.

• If your eyelashes are straight and stiff, you can give them some curl by using the eyelash curler. There are even mascaras that come with built-in curler on their brush which is of a curve shape instead of the usual straight across. This can be used instead of the lash curler.
• When you apply mascara, make sure that you will start at the base of the lashes before slowly moving up to your lashes, wiggling the brush from one side to another. This will avoid the lashes from clumping together.
• If you want not just long eyelashes but also thicker ones, you might want to try a waterproof formula. Such are commonly a bit thicker compared to the regular mascaras. The best application tip to have thicker lashes is by coating the two sides of the lashes. Take the mascara brush and then brush the lashes down in order to coat your lashes’ rear side. Wait for around 20 seconds before brushing them back up in order to coat their front side. Make sure that you will use the similar wiggle method mentioned in the second step. Having the two sides of your lashes coated will make them appear more voluminous. This two sided coating can also be done on the bottom lashes.
• When mascara is being applied on the bottom lashes, the brush should be held horizontally before lightly brushing the bottom lashes. For those who have steady hand, the brush can be held vertically and the brush tip can be used for coating the lashes. This is a method not being advised for those with shaky hand since you might just poke your own eyes!
• One more great way for making your lashes look thicker and longer is through the use of mascara primer. These have extra thick formula that is a bit difficult to be evenly applied, not to mention that this also look clumpy. However, this is still a great option for people who would like to give it a try.

Getting long eyelashes these days will no longer require you to collect and mix crocodile droppings and kohl. By properly applying mascara, getting your dream lashes can already be as simple as A-B-C. Just make sure that you keep all these tips in mind in order for you to get the best looking lashes ever!
