Mascara: 6 tips to achieve a better effect on your eyes

When it comes to makeup, a dilemma always arises when it's time to apply the mascara. Many times it seems that the product was caked on and that causes the eyelashes to look very loaded. < b>Other times, it is simply not possible to take advantage of the packaging and it seems until it is dry and that it does not make up as it should. All these conflicts have to do, in many cases, with the quality of the product. But in others, it is due to the misuse that the product is given.

Many choose to make up with a base and only apply mascara in order to noticeably improve the look. Recently, Gisela Bosque, a professional makeup artist from Spain explained in Harper's Bazaar, the correct way to take advantage of this product so that it performs better and looks much better.

To begin, it is important to know its properties. In this sense, she said that the mascara acts as a protector against external agents for the eyelashes. This would be like a protective barrier that prevents them from being damaged. For this reason, he placed special emphasis on the importance of using make-up removers since it is not good to go to bed with the dirt that remains on the eyelashes.

Just like hair, eyelashes also tend to fall out. Many times the causes are heat and dryness or the effect of the sun. That is why summer is a time when you have to take care of them more than ever.

In the same way that an exclusive makeup base is selected for each skin, we must also choose the product that best suits our eyelashes, taking into account the characteristics of each one: yes they are short, long, curved or if they have pigment. There are heavier masks and others that are lighter, so it is important to analyze them since they must support that extra weight.

6 tips for applying mascara

“Once the style we want to give our eyelashes has been decided, it is time to select the brush. There is one for each type and effect that you want to give”, added Gisela Bosque.

1- How to embed the brush to get the most out of the product

It is important to note that the liquid is located on the walls of the tube or bottle that is used. That is why it indicates that in order to load the brush, it is necessary to run it along the walls of the container. Then it will be time to remove the excess of the product and this is achieved by performing the same movement in the nozzle of the product.

In this sense, he clarified that something fundamental is not compulsively inserting and removing the brush from the container since in this way air will enter the product and that will make it dry much faster.

2- Where to start to make up the eyelashes

You should start with a pass on the upper part of the eyelashes so that - in the case of using shadows - any remains that may have fallen on them are removed.

The correct way to brush is to get as close as possible to the root of the eyelashes. Then the second layer will be applied. This time the diagonal brush will be used to comb each one of them and in this way achieve a broader look effect and the classic fan effect. At this stage it is necessary not to forget about the innermost eyelashes, since the product will contribute to providing a sensation of density.

3- How to make up the lower lashes

To make up the lower lashes, if we want to achieve a day-to-day look we must do it with the brush vertically. We will give a light touch of color, so that the leading role continues to be in the upper area. If you are doing makeup for an event and want a more dramatic finish, you can add more to the bottom line, do it little by little and make sure you are not uncomfortable with the result.

4- How to make up the eyelashes when they are not the same in both eyes

The body is not symmetrical. In the same way that one eye is not the same as the other, the same thing happens with the eyelashes. These asymmetries can be corrected when applying makeup, doing a prior analysis and being aware of the needs of each eye. In some cases more will be needed and in others a little less.

5- When is it necessary to discard mascara

When there is either more product or the expiration date has passed, you should not try to revive it with oils, not even water or any product that they want us to believe will extend its use. Once that moment is reached, everything that is added to it will only make the formula not be in optimal conditions and the effect will not be as expected.

At that time it is necessary to replace it with another one since its useful life has ended.

6- How to use the eyelash curler

For this makeup specialist, it is not something that should be included for her daily use. Being an instrument that exerts pressure on the eyelashes, it can weaken them and even break them. That is why he suggests its use for special occasions.

With all these tips, applying makeup to your eyelashes will no longer be a problem. It's time to show off an intense look and remember that you should always remove the mascara before going to bed to let your eyelashes rest.
