There's no better quick fix makeup apparatus to give the illusion of bigger and brighter eyes than the the mascara.
With proper organic mascara application, you can go from ordinary to extrordinary in less than 2 minutes. But you can just as easily go from glamor to ghostly within 30 seconds, if you select a poor quality mascara and use improper application techniques, .
Which is why when choosing your mascara, choose one that is good quality. Sometimes, the extra $10 - $20 does make a world of difference. In terms of the shades, you can never go wrong with black (even if you are fair toned)
Lets start by keeping the mascara wand hygienic. When you're pulling out the wand, pull it out in one motion and never pump the wand in and out. The wand may feel good, but the pumping action introduces air into the tube which can lead to drying and also allows more bacteria to enter. Instead twirl the wand inside the applicator. If the consistency of your mascara is old and dried out, get rid of it immediately, the tube is probably riddled with bacteria and nasties that can cause you an eye infection.
Before applying your mascara, you should always use an eyelash curler to give your eyes the appearance of being bigger and brighter. If you have a metal eyelash curler, heat it with your blow dryer for a couple seconds until it feels warm. Don't make it too hot and test it first before using to make sure you don't burn your eyelid.
Place the curler as close to the lash line as possible making sure to grab all lash hairs. Hold the curler in place ten seconds or so and release.
To prevent clumping and lumps from forming, a quick tip is to dab powder on your lashes before mascara application.
