How to apply mascara

2025/8/10 Edited to

... Read moreApplying mascara correctly can dramatically enhance the appearance of your eyes by adding volume, length, and definition to your lashes. To achieve the best results, it’s important to start with clean lashes and choose a mascara formula that suits your desired look—whether that’s volumizing, lengthening, or waterproof. Begin by gently curling your lashes with an eyelash curler to give a lift before applying mascara. When applying, start at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand back and forth as you move upwards to coat each lash evenly. This technique helps avoid clumping and ensures full coverage. For a more natural look, apply a single coat; for a dramatic effect, apply multiple coats but allow each layer to dry slightly before applying the next. Using a lash comb or a clean spoolie brush after application can help separate lashes for a more defined appearance. Additionally, to prevent smudging or flaking, avoid pumping the mascara wand inside the tube, as this introduces air and dries out the product. Regularly replacing your mascara every three months helps maintain eye health by preventing bacterial buildup. Incorporating these lash hacks into your makeup routine can enhance your overall look easily and effectively.

My holy grail mascara is HausLabs by Lady Gaga. As a makeup artist I have tried just about every mascara available, and found many that I love, some that I thought were my favorite (Too Faced Better than Sex & Benefit RollerLash) but the HausLabs mascara blew me away!!
