Too often I see people wearing their mascara incorrectly. While I’m not a make-up artist and I couldn’t even pretend to be a style guide, I wonder if these people realize the effect they create by playing make up games with mascara and taking it a bit too far over the top. From too heavy an application to coverage that doesn’t make sense, there is much to learn for most of us, and like everyone, I’m most certainly a life-long make up games learner.
When you apply mascara, you should wiggle the brush a bit at the base of the eyelashes to be sure that the coverage there is sound. Then gently sweep the brush out form the eyelid to the tip of the lashes. The tips of the lashes might be invisibly pale, so seeing your lashes get longer is just part of the game.
Once you’ve applied that first coating, a light second coating can ensure good coverage, but anything more than that is too much. On the opposite end of the spectrum, applying a dark mascara to light lashes is almost always a bad idea. When applying the mascara, always start with a color just a few shades darker than your eyelashes and work from the eyelids out. If you leave a gap, your eyelashes will appear to be floating over your eye.
