Applying mascara may not be as easy as it seems to be. Everytime we see these celebs on screen, we envy their lashes which makes their eyes look all the more beautiful. The secret behind their voluminous lashes is nothing but mascara applied by professional hands. Today, I’ll tell you some tips used by makeup professionals when they apply mascara on celebs.

5 Steps on how to apply mascara:

Step 1 – Eyelash curler-Many woman who do not have an eye lash curler can’t have that difference to their lashes as those who has it can. And if till now you don’t own it, it’s high time you place an order for the same. Another point in this regard which I’d like to mention is that the best way is to double curl the lashes. First curl should be when you are sitting down to apply the mascara. With slight pressure use an eye lash curler and curl up your lashes bother the upper and also the lower.

Step 2 - Now dip lash wand in the mascara two to 4 times to evenly coat the brush with the mascara since mascara is a thick sort of color.

Step 3 - Now while applying the mascaraon the upper lashes go from the root to the tip of the lash hairs and never backwards, moving the brush in a zig zag manner from one side to the other and with the last stroke ending towards the outside of the eye i.e the otherside of the nose or the side nearest to the ear. For the lower lashes you may follow the same rule or you may give 4 to 5 strokes of the brush in one direction just by swiping it through the lashes from the side nearest to the nose to the side outwards i.e., nearest to the ear and ending it there.

Step 4- Now take a Lash comb and comb the eyelashes to avoid any clumps whatsoever.

Step 5 - With the lash curler, give it another curl.

One more tip I’d like to mention is which doesn’t really happen too much but if it does i.e., if you see smudges of mascara anywhere around the lashes, you may remove it with a ear bud dipped in makeup remover or a cotton dipped in makeup remover stuck at the end of a tooth pick and remove the smudges carefully. Don’t prick your eyes with it.
