Mascara

Mascara completes your eye makeup and makes you ready for that gorgeous look. Mascara adds volume and length to the lashes and makes your eyes appear brighter and more beautiful.

There are two types of Mascara - waterproof and regular. Regular mascara is easier to remove at the end of the day, but to remove waterproof mascara you need a really good eye makeup remover.

Steps to apply mascara:

1. Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler.

2. For your upper lashes, wiggle the mascara wand back and forth at the base of your lashes and then roll the brush through your lashes. This will coat the lashes from the very base to the tips. This method creates a thicker looking lash with the ends separated and the base defined.

3. For lower lashes, be extremely careful as to avoid smudging as this can cause a dark undereye circle. If you wish to apply to your lower lash, hold the wand vertically and run through your lashes side to side.

4. Remove any mascara that may have fallen with a cotton bud.

Tip: To get more product on the mascara brush, try twirling the brush. Never pump the mascara brush into the tube as this will push air into it and introduce bacteria to your mascara.
