EYELASH CURLING

Start with clean lashes. Gently lift the lid, hold the curler in front, and move the arm up to curl lashes. Hold for five to ten seconds.

Tips

You can also curl lashes by gently pressing them up with your fingers as the mascara dries.

The blackest of black mascara makes eyes stand out the most.

MASCARA APPLICATION

When applied properly, mascara will both define your eyes and make them stand out. Remember, you’ll need two to three coats for impact.

1
Wipe the tip of the wand. Gently lift the lid. Looking down, begin at the outside of the eye.

2
Move the wand in close to the nose.

3
Be sure to apply mascara close to the base of the lashes.

4
Separate the lashes as you go along.

5
If you smudge the mascara, wipe it instantly before it dries.

6
If mascara dries on your skin, use a Q-tip to clean it up with a bit of non-oily makeup remover.

7
Wait a few seconds before beginning the lower lashes. Apply mascara lightly to the lower lashes.

8
Turn the brush at an angle to get all the lashes.

9
The finished product.
