These pro tricks will take your mascara to a whole new level |
 So you just bought that top-rated mascara. Now what? Put it to good use! It's all about using the right techniques to get your longest, thickest lashes ever. |
Oy! Mascara is my most favorite beauty product ever! Though I slather my weight in lip gloss yearly; I would still pick mascara as my all time can't live without cosmetic.
With that said, now I would like to share a bit about you and your lashes and what have you done for them lately?
You know, when it comes to eyelashes: this isn't your mother's era of beauty and maintenance. Our moms started with a pan of dark brown emulsion and a brush that had to be made wet, then mixed into the dried emulsion to make a slip that would then be brushed onto the lashes.
Oh no, those days are gone honey! Here's my wee two cents and recommendations for taking the best care of your lashes and getting the most out of one of your most beautiful features: your eyes!
1. Use a growth primer. I have not tried Latisse so I have no comment there. Though I have had great success with these brands and can honestly say that if you buy them, you will see results:
- Talika Lipocils
- Lash Food
- NeuLash
- Arbonne Virtual lash
2. You need to use a gentle eye makeup remover. Place the saturated pad of cotton on your eye, hold and let the remover start to dissolve your mascara and then ever so gently begin to rub the product off. The less scrubbing and rubbing you do on your lashes the longer they will stay. Remember a lash has a life cycle of about 28-30 days.
3. Take note of your mascara-for those of you who can not give up your waterproof please read the above statement about using a remover. When the residual mascara lays on the lash and covers the base of the follicle the eye lash hair can't breathe and it suffocates and dies earlier than had you removed all your mascara. I'm not saying give it up or switch to water resistant brands, just be more careful in a complete removal of product build up.
4. There are so many brands to choose from, click through today's beauty bubble to see the favorites among women nationwide. In the meantime here are my favorites:
- L'Oreal: pretty much all of them
- Christian Dior Dior Show
- Arbonne
- Avon mark Scanda Lash ...because of it's wee purse size!
- Maybelline Lash Stiletto
- Lorac
- Bourjois Coup de tetre
To make your lashes appear thicker: dust them with translucent powder first and make sure they are good and coated. Now the mascara will hold onto the powder and the lash and look thicker.
No matter which brand you use or how you apply it: I just know that you are really beautiful. And if no one has told you lately just how amazingly gorgeous you are, then let me be the first today to remind you: YOU ARE PERFECTLY GORGEOUS!
Remember: you are beautiful!
