Lower lashes can sometimes appear invisible to the naked eye so you wouldn’t be the first person to want to accentuate them with a little mascara, however a quick hint of definition can quickly turn into a spidery, thick, clumpy mess…
Wipe Your Wand
Many people are scared to wipe their
mascara wand on a tissue before use because they’re afraid they will
“waste product” but you really shouldn’t be using your mascara for any
longer than six months anyway. Wiping your mascara wand on a tissue can
help remove excess product and therefore prevent a big ol clumpy mess.
Hold a Spoon Underneath Your Lower Lashes
Whilst it’s a little outside the box, holding a spoon underneath your lashes whilst you apply mascara is one of my favourite makeup tricks. It’s perfect for increasing the length and volume of your lower lashes without any transfer or mess making it a great technique if you don’t have a steady hand or are a newbie with makeup.
“Stamp” Your Lashes
Rather than vigorously wiggling a mascara wand through your lower lashes or coating them individually with the tip of the wand; try gently placing the wand on your lower lashes and then quickly removing it. This will gently coat and give the lower lashes some colour without clumpiness.
Use a Lash Comb
If you’ve ever applied so much mascara that your lashes start looking more like spider legs than beautiful fluttery lashes, a lash comb can be your saving grace. After applying mascara, take a lash comb and gently comb through the lashes to remove excess product. Follow Makeup Tips: Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Newsletter | Youtube
