For many beauty obsessives, mascara is the ultimate beauty product. Perfect for finishing a full-faced look or subtly boosting a fresh face, mascara can make anyone look instantly more awake and polished with just a swipe. But what is the best way to apply it? Keep reading to discover @charlottealbert.makeup’s tips and tricks.
STEP ONE
Curl the lashes with Kevyn Aucoin’s Eyelash Curler. Be sure to open the curlers wide and wiggle up and down to ensure every lash is in there.
Make sure to go as close to your skin as possible without pinching; lashes should be curled from the base, or they will have a kink.
STEP TWO
To avoid smudges or transfers throughout the day, dust a thin layer of powder over the lower lashes using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. This helps to absorb oils and prevent transferring.
STEP THREE
Apply Nabla’s Major Pleasure Mascara to the root of the lashes first and wiggle the brush though to coat every single lash. Then blink into the wand to ensure the tips of the lashes are covered too.
STEP FOUR
Use Tweezerman’s Folding Lash Comb to fan and separate the lashes. Look down into a mirror and slowly comb through the lashes. Wipe any excess off the comb if necessary.
STEP FIVE
Apply the mascara to the bottom lashes by holding the brush vertically and skimming across.
STEP SIX
If any mascara has found its way onto the skin, allow for it to dry before sweeping away with a clean spoolie brush.
