Make Up Games: 3 Mascara Tips


Mascara can be lifesaver or a very public statement about your makeup skills. Applying mascara correctly can more complicated than you think.

1. Always start at the roots. When you apply mascara, put the brush at the very base of the eyelash. Go ahead and risk getting the mascara on your eye itself the first time or two until you are able to figure out exactly where you need to be to get the roots of you eyelashes. This is especially important if you have light eyelashes.

2. Pick the right color. There are so many colors of mascara that it can be hard to pick the very best one. Ask a sales lady to consult with you or read about your particular coloring online to determine which color of mascara would look good on you. Usually it’s only 1-2 shades darker than your eyes.

3. Don’t put mascara on your bottom lashes. Put on no more than two swipes on each eye on the upper lid. But when it gets to the lower lid, sip the mascara completely or opt only for a very light coating to bring you eyes out without having dark stings of mascara and lashes bringing your eyes down your face.
