Applying Eye Mascara

Applying Mascara is a very easy process. Mascara is applied from the underside by holding the wand flat parallel to the eyelid and the brush is rolled slowly in the upward stroke. Before applying mascara, use an eyelash comb or wet toothbrush to comb your lashes. Always use a clean and fresh mascara wand on wet lashes. Applying mascara only on the upper lashes provides them a dramatic touch, while applying it lightly on the upper and lower lashes, make the eyes seem wider. Gel-based mascara enhances the lashes while thickening mascara looks even more dramatic and adds volume to your lashes. For lower lashes, one has to be more cautious so as not to smudge the under eye area and the wand is to be held vertically and mascara is applied from side to side. Less mascara is basically used on the lower lashes and extra color should be blotted off using the tissue paper. Generally women opt for more than one coat of the mascara, which combs the lashes too so that they do not look stuck together.

If mascara is deposited on the wand more than needed, tissue the extra color off before applying mascara. Different colors of mascara such as brown, navy and green may make you look funky instantly. It is significant that mascara is used on an individual only to avoid transferring eye infections and if it causes even the slightest irritation in the eye, it must be immediately discarded. Wiggle the brush a little at the roots of the lashes as it allows the bristles to move between the eyelashes, combing and separating them. Let mascara dry between any of the two coats and comb the eyelashes to separate the damp lashes. Do not rub your eyes to take away the mascara but use the eye makeup solvent instead.

Black mascara can be used by anybody at anytime though blondes should use it for bright night makeup. Thin and short brush is good as it is easier to control and gets to the corner of the eye easily. It is also advisable to powder the under-eye area before applying mascara to avoid smudging. Curl the lashes before applying it by moving the wand in a zigzag fashion to make the lashes look much wider and brighter. Women with strawberry-blonde hair may try diverse shades of brown. Be definite not to match your mascara color with your eye color.

Three forms of Mascara are:

Water based Mascaras can be applied easily and can be removed quickly. They won't stay for a long period of time as it smudges easily when it comes in contact with water, tears and perspiration.

Waterproof Mascara stay for a long time and is waterproof and smudge proof.

Mixed Mascara is a combination of water based and water proof mascara's. They dry up quickly and are easy to remove.

Do not pump the mascara wand into the container because it will push air into the container and dry the mascara out faster. Simply insert the want, turn it a couple of times and pull it out nicely.
