How to properly draw mascara on the brush, what movements to apply and what mistakes to avoid? BeautyHack - about the main rules for using mascara.
Pay attention to the brush
There are about a hundred forms of mascara brushes. They differ in the length of the villi, material of manufacture, weaving. A plastic brush with a thin bristle allows you to achieve volume, but it cannot separate the hairs. To do this, use silicone brushes. Spiral-shaped villi are ideal for those with unruly eyelashes. The short hair on the brush goes well with short eyelashes: it perfectly paints the bottom row and hairs in the corners of the eyes.
Thick pile - for thick eyelashes! Separates hairs creating length. Solid bristles are good for those with soft eyelashes. And the curved brush lifts the hairs and twirls easily, making the so-called "doll" look.
Pick up mascara correctly
When you brush up and down, more air gets into the mascara, which means that it dries much faster, and also oxidizes and deteriorates. And it makes no sense to do it: you will not collect more funds in this way.
To get the required amount of mascara on the brush, you need to make circular movements - start from the bottom of the tube and lift the applicator up in a spiral. This will help avoid lumps, but you will draw the mascara evenly from all sides.
Curl your lashes before applying mascara
Doing this afterwards can damage your eyelashes. When the mascara has not yet fixed, and you decide to curl your eyelashes with a curler, they can simply stick to it and thus pull out. Or, if the ink is already dry, the curler can break them. Therefore, we remember the rule: it is necessary to curl the eyelashes before dyeing with mascara (and you will find the ideal curler here).
First, curl the lashes on one eye and quickly apply mascara on them, and only then proceed to the second eye. So the hairs will not have time to straighten, and the mascara will fix them in the right position for a long time. Also, at the same time, the curvature of the eyelashes will be smoother, and if you wind it on mascara, you will get a sharp hall.
Blink to distribute mascara evenly
Oddly enough, mascara spreads best when blinking - run your eyelashes over the brush, and you get an even layer of the product from root to tip. But zigzag movements can, on the contrary, confuse the eyelashes and lead to the appearance of lumps when layering. For those who stain their eyelids while blinking, a special spatula has been invented for applying mascara.
Paint over the roots of eyelashes
It is very important to apply mascara to the roots: if you paint over the entire length of the eyelashes, the look will be more wide open, and the makeup will be expressive. To do this, lightly press the brush against the base of the lashes during application.
It is not a mistake to apply mascara only to the tips of the eyelashes, but the appearance from this will lose.
Part eyelashes
Despite its relevance, "spider legs" in everyday makeup look untidy. If your eyelashes stick together, it is better to use a special brush with metal teeth, which will remove the excess and comb the hairs well. In addition, this effect makes you visually older - look for other mistakes that add a couple of extra years to you here.
Remove excess mascara from the brush
Most tubes have a stopper to keep you from drawing too much. But sometimes too liquid formulas leave lumps on the brush, which leads to sticking of the eyelashes and, again, the appearance of "spider legs" on them. The more mascara, the greater the risk of shedding, so it is better to get rid of the excess in advance. Gently wipe the mascara brush with a dry paper towel and apply the first layer - lashes will look natural. By the way, such "overload" of ink also visually makes the look heavier, because the hairs will not keep the bend.
