It’s smooth, it’s twisty, it’s thin and yet it has never been easy to play with. ‘I got the perfect lash in one stroke’ – said no one ever. But while we’re talking about perfect lashes, let’s aim at getting them right in a few strokes with these smooth mascara hacks.
1. Use a Primer
Just like your face needs a base to hold the makeup for longer, even your best waterproof mascara needs a little hug. But in case you do not find a lash primer handy, simply use your best face primer before doing coats of mascara. This little hack will help your mascara last longer.
2. Put Some Powder
Love volume? When your perfect voluminous mascara doesn’t quite meet your expectations, dust some powder on your lashes after the first coat. Now add another coat and you will be amazed to see the results. Coat both sides of your lashes for intense look and wow volume. We trust ZM Blink It Mascara for voluminous lashes.
3. Monsoon Hack
Monsoon can be a tough time for wearing your favourite makeup product. In case you find even the best waterproof mascara not supportive enough to last long, here’s a trick that will save you a rainy day. Coat your lashes with your favourite mascara first. Use your best waterproof mascara for the second coat.
4. Change the Angle
When it comes to mascara, master your strokes by acing your angles. When it comes to lower eyelashes, hold your wand at a 180-degree angle. Now gently coat those tiny hair without worrying about smudges.
5. Curl your Lashes
Looking for best results with mascara? Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and apply your voluminous mascara as you do it. You can also try heating your curler for more definition. But if all of this feels too much, you can get some help from this 3 in 1 mascara that gives curl, volume and length to your lashes, all at once.
6. Let it Dry
Like it or not, the ugly truth is that this wand leaves smudges. And it only gets messier from there. But hold on! Yes, just hold on for a few seconds and let the smudges dry before you wipe them off. In fact, once it dries out, you don’t need a tissue to work with. The leftovers leave your way on their own.
7. Do not Pump It
Pumping your mascara frequently allows air to get inside that messes with the mascara-ingredients. It will give way to bacteria and will dry out your mascara faster than it should. Instead try to twirl your wand inside and then pull it out.
8. Use a Toothbrush
While your voluminous mascara adds beauty to your lashes, clumps can often be unavoidable. What to do? Well, keep a clean toothbrush handy and use it to remove clumps after your final coat. Or you can simply work with this 3 in 1 mascara that keeps clumps at bay.
9. Spoon It
Much like the magical one, this wand too demands patience to show wonders. But if you are in a rush, use the top side of a spoon to hold your eyelids as you coat your lashes. Forget smudging and say hello to spot-less eyelids.
