by Ready To Wear Beauty Shopping , Makeup Product Brand

Mascara is one of those makeup products that we apply the exact same way every day – looking up (or down), mouth slightly ajar, and a bunch of swipes on each eye. Chances are, this is how we did it even when we first started using it. But have you ever thought if you are doing it the right way? Or if there is a better way? Whether you are a makeup guru or beginner, you might pride yourself on nailing these basic makeup techniques. But as it turns out, there are a few ways in which you can make them even better. With just a few simple yet brilliant tips, you can easily achieve the holy trifecta of length, volume, and curl. From using a new bottle of Eyelash Extension mascara to dabbing your lashes with baby powder, here is a list of a few mascara tips that will give you the most beautiful, volume-packed lashes you can imagine:

Always Use Fresh Formula

Unless you want to end up with clumpy lashes, you might want to swap your bottle of old mascara for a fresh, new one. Also, keep in mind that once you open your bottle of Eyelash Extension mascara, you have a few months before it starts to dry out and become stale. Experts suggest that you should replace your bottle every three to four months. If you are on a budget, you can dilute the formula by adding a few drops of Visine or place the bottle in some hot water to thin it back to the desired consistency.

Use Your Curler Properly

Instead of curling your lashes repeatedly, curl them just once but do it well. Since lashes are delicate, you don’t want to exert too much pressure on them. Hold the curler for a good ten seconds to make sure that you get curls that hold for a long time.

Pick the Right Wand Size

Mascara wand sizes are not one-size-fits-all. Depending on the size and shape of your eyes, you should pick the right size. For instance, if you have small eyes, a smaller wand is a better choice because it will reach all the lashes effectively till the roots. If you want to use a volumizing brush, look for brands that downsize their products for smaller eye shapes.

Baby Powder Can Be a Change-changer

After you apply the first coat of mascara, crack open your bottle of baby powder and dab some on your lashes using a Q-Tip. If you are worried about them looking white and chalky, don’t be. Follow that up with another coat of mascara for the thickest, most volumized lashes.

With these tips in hand, you can now flaunt some serious lash game.
