Most Common Mascara Mistakes

Have you spent years struggling to your mascara to look just right?  Have you tried every brand on the market and still can’t get those long, full lashes they promise?  Then you may be guilty of committing 1 or more of these most common mistakes that jeopardize your luscious lashes.

Here they are, from Allure.com:

  1. More isn’t More- you might think that putting on extra layers of mascara would give you extra length or volume, but in truth, more than 2 coats will lead to the mascara drying mid-application and lead to dreaded clumps and the ‘spidery’ effect.
  2. Pumping it Up- pumping the wand is something many women do (probably without even knowing why) but instead of getting more mascara on the wand, all that you will accomplish will be putting air into the tube that will lead to flakes and clumping.
  3. Too Long-term Relationships- if you can’t remember when you bought it (or know that it was more than 3 months ago) it’s time to throw it out.  Mascara has the shortest life span of makeup products because it’s so easy for germs and bacteria to live in it and for you to end up with pink eye, itchiness, redness or any number of nasty side effects from them.
  4. Nourish your roots- you would never leave your roots exposed when dyeing your hair, and you shouldn’t neglect the roots of your lashes either- doing so will make them look shorter.  To make sure they get a nice coating, gently wiggle your want at the base of the lashes, and voila!
  5. Take it Easy- some people who don’t use the wiggle method try to make up for it with blunt force.  But pressing too hard will just leave you with marks on your eyelids and look sloppy.

We hope that these tips will help you finally get your mascara just right!
