Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

Mascara is definitely the focal point of any professional makeup application, so it is necessary to know how to correctly apply it to bring out your beautiful peepers! A lot does depend on the mascara product that you are using, so make sure that you are not using a low quality product that will clump or cause your lashes to stick together. You definitely don't want to have to deal with mascara that is bleeding or smudging on your face, so use a premium product that you can trust.

To start out with, the very best way to apply mascara is to wiggle the wand from side to side at the very base of the lashes. This is places the mascara at the root of the eyelashes, and not the tips, which is what will make them look fuller and longer. While you are wiggling the wand, pull the wand directly through the lashes, which will work to distribute the mascara product evenly throughout all lashes. For your very last step in the process, close your eyes completely, and apply the mascara to the top of the lashes from the base to the tip. This works to filter out any clumps, and it also allows a smoother and fuller mascara look.

If you want to make sure that your eyelashes don't clump in your mascara application, then you can use a simple lash comb that often comes on the end of an eyebrow brush. This may be irritating to some people because it does have the potential to pull out eyelashes, but it is helpful to separate all of your eyelashes so that they do not clump together during the mascara application. Many women also prefer to use disposable mascara wands to apply mascara each time because it keeps the eyelashes from clumping from leftover residue left on the mascara wand within the tube. If you use a disposable mascara wand every single time, it is also beneficial to prevent any infection from your eye products.

One celebrity trick of the trade is to use two different mascaras on your eyelashes. This may seem absurd, but it really does work! You can start out by applying a single coat of thickening mascara to pump up your lashes, and you can also apply another coat of a lengthening mascara to make them appear longer and fuller. This is the perfect choice to brighten up your eyes, and it also gives you the benefit of two different products in one. In fact, many mascara products on the market are utilizing the same idea by providing two different mascaras in a single tube.

You may also want to put some thought into what color mascara you are using. Many women prefer to use black mascara, but if you do have deep brown eyes, then a brown mascara may be more flattering. Also, if you have very dark and full lashes, then a beautiful natural look will be to use clear mascara for your regular wear. Something to think about!
