Want longer and fuller lashes?
Attempting to achieve those ooh la-la luscious lashes cannot be done so by applying layer upon layer when the mascara is wet. The key to fuller lashes with any mascara is to let each coat dry before applying another coat on top. Continuously layering wet mascara onto your lashes will cause the lashes to look like spider legs. Wait 40 seconds to a minute between each coat, then apply the second coat as you wiggle your wand right to left from the base to the tip of your lashes.
Avoid water-proof mascara.
Unless you cry all the time or go swimming with mascara on, avoid water-proof mascaras. They may sound nice, but if you don't need it, skip it. This is bad for 2 reasons:
1.) It will dry out your lashes more than a regular mascara and end up flaking a few hours later.
2.) Mascaras already have a short life of 2-3 months before they dry up. The life of waterproof mascaras are even shorter!
Powder Trick.
I discussed this tip a few months ago [HERE], it will help you achieve long thick lashes, imitating falsies!
Swirl, dont pump!
I cannot say this enough. I cringe every time I see a girl pumping the wand into the mascara tube as if she is trying to inflate it. Pumping your wand will only dry your mascara out and attract more bacteria into the tube. Swirl the wand inside the tube instead, you will get the same amount of product.
Save your one true wand!
This is one of my favorite beauty hacks and money saving tips! Every company raves about their mascara formula, but in all honestly, most mascara formulas are the same. Your money is going towards the mascara's brush wand, not the formula. Next time your $30 mascara dries out, keep the wand and use it with a cheaper alternative mascara, you will see the same effects as the higher end mascara. Works like a charm!
I hope you found these hacks useful! As a college student, I am always trying to make my dollar stretch as far as it can and I love when beauty hacks can help me save some too!
