Beauty trends come and go, but one thing that remains constant is the desire for perfectly separated eyelashes. Whether you prefer a subtle look or want to make a statement with your makeup, it’s important to choose the right mascara for the job. This guide will provide you with tips on how to get the perfect lashes using mascara, lash extensions, and other tools.
Types of Mascara
Mascaras are available in many different formulas and colors, so it’s important to find one that best suits your needs. Generally speaking, there are two main types of mascaras – waterproof and non-waterproof – as well as tubing mascaras which can be either waterproof or non-waterproof. Waterproof mascaras are designed to stay put all day long while non-waterproof formulas offer more flexibility when it comes to removing them at night or after an event. Tubing mascaras are also popular because they create a tube-like film around each lash which makes them appear longer and fuller without clumping together.
When choosing a mascara formula, consider what type of look you want to achieve: lengthening mascara is great for adding length; volumizing mascaras give lashes extra body; and waterproof formulas work best if you plan on swimming or taking part in activities where your eyes may come into contact with water.
Tools Needed
Once you’ve chosen your desired mascara formula, there are several tools that can help create perfectly separated eyelashes:
Lash Curler
A good quality lash curler is essential for achieving curled lashes without damaging them in any way. It’s also important not to curl too tightly as this can lead to breakage of natural lashes over time. Thanks to this tool, you can have curled lashes all day long and keep them well separated.
Mascara Wand
The wand plays an important role when applying mascara because its shape allows you to access hard-to-reach areas such as the inner corner of the eye where individual hairs may be harder to separate from each other naturally due to their shorter length. When selecting a wand, opt for one made from nylon bristles since these have been found to be most effective at separating individual hairs while still providing enough volume at the same time.
Makeup Artist Brushes
If you’re looking for precision when separating your eyelashes, then makeup artist brushes are ideal since they allow much more control over application than traditional wands do. However, they take some practice before being able to master them properly, so start off by using regular wands first until comfortable enough to try out more complex ones like these later on down the line if desired!
Lash Extensions
For those wanting extra drama without having their own natural lashes weighed down by heavy layers of product, then lash extensions could be just what they need! These semi-permanent pieces attach directly onto existing hairs, creating longer, thicker-looking fringes that don’t require any additional maintenance apart from occasional touch-ups here and there throughout their lifespan (usually lasting anywhere between 6 weeks up until 3 months). They’re also very easy to remove, so should someone decide they no longer wish to keep them attached anymore, there’s no need to worry about any permanent damage being done either way!
Makeup Remover
Last but certainly not least is makeup remover, which should always be used after every application session no matter what type of product has been applied beforehand (mascara included) in order to ensure clean, healthy-looking eyes free from bacteria build-up caused by leaving residue behind during sleep cycles, etc. This will prevent irritation issues occurring over time whilst also making sure all traces have been removed prior to starting again the next day, thus avoiding clumps forming due to double dipping into tubes, etc. too!
Applying Mascara
Now that we’ve discussed what products/tools you might need to purchase, let’s move onto actually applying these products:
- Firstly, start off with freshly washed hands and ensure that everything touched thereafter has been properly cleaned before use, including both surfaces inside the tube itself and the wand applicator tip.
- Then, begin by curling your lashes upwards towards the brow bone area. Lightly press the clamp shut just once before releasing the pressure afterwards. This helps set the curl in place.
- Next, load the brush with the product before swiping gently downwards across the top side of the lashes, starting from the inner corner near the nose bridge and moving outwards towards the outer edges near the temples, respectively. Keep the wand vertical against the skin surface, rather than angled like a normal comb would.
- After finishing brushing the top side, repeat the same action on the bottom side, ensuring that both sides are evenly coated with the same amount of product coverage, while still keeping space between the individual lashes clearly visible along the entire length.
- Finally, finish off with some finishing touches, such as spiraling motion through the tips and ends, giving an even further separation appearance overall result. This will help the mascara last throughout the entire day/night without needing to reapply it halfway through.
