Apply Mascara Like a Pro

You should always take your time when applying your mascara to avoid getting those icky, sticky clumps. Make sure you coat your lashes on both sides using a back and forth motion shown in the video below. If your lashes are a little sparse try an eyelash curler before applying your mascara – you’ll notice your eyes will seem wider and more open after curling your lashes and don’t forget those bottom lashes! After curling your lashes find a volumizing/thickening mascara in a jet black or brown/black to really make those eyes stand out. Want to take your look up a notch? Try adding a few individual false lashes on the outer corner of the eyes for a glamorous, more dramatic look.
