5 common mistakes to avoid while applying mascara
Whether you want to extend, define or accentuate your eyelashes, mascaras are the unsung heroes of the makeup regime. Mascaras can highlight your eyes perfectly and have the potential to uplift your face. However, it is easy for things to go wrong if you are not wielding your mascara correctly. Here are five common mistakes that people make while applying mascara.
Using one mascara for everything
One of the most typical mascara errors is using one mascara for thickness, volume, and lengthening. Sometimes your go-to mascara may fall short of your expectations for thick, full lashes. Instead, use two types of mascaras - one for elongating and one for volume. One coat of each will give you a more lush set of lashes than just using one type of mascara.
Curling after coating
Most people do not use curlers. But when they do, they do it after applying mascara. Lash curlers and mascara go hand-in-hand until you curl your lashes after applying mascara. Always curl your lashes before applying mascara, as they may not have the required flexibility to curl once the mascara has dried. Furthermore, mascara can stick to your curler, leaving your lashes looking messy.
Overlooking the expiry date
It is natural to want to keep a favorite makeup item in your collection for as long as possible. But you are more likely to cope with unfavorable clumps and flakes the longer you use it. As a general guideline, throw away your used mascara tubes three to six months after using them to prevent eye makeup disasters or infections.
Taking too much product
Less product on the wand is a crucial beginner's tip for applying mascara. You could stain the inner corner of your eyes with the clumped-up formula on the mascara wand's tip. Gently remove any extra mascara from the wand using tissues. This will ensure flawlessly defined and separated eyelashes, devoid of any unwanted fallout, offering you a rapid solution for achieving clump-free lashes.
Wrong application
If you think applying mascara is as simple as a single swipe from lash roots, think again. You must wiggle the wand, from the roots to the tips of the lashes to ensure thorough coverage. This will guarantee that the product completely coats your lashes for the desired amount of time. Additionally, choose a mascara that suits your lashes, for the best results.
