Secrets of top makeup artists: how to properly apply mascara to eyelashes

The eyes are called the mirror of the soul, which means you should always pay special attention to them when doing makeup. Even if you plan to have the most natural and natural makeup possible, applying mascara to your eyelashes is a must do. Beautifully curved, voluminous long eyelashes will complete the look and add harmony to it. We decided to figure out how to properly apply mascara to eyelashes, so we have collected for you all the most useful secrets of famous makeup artists.

Preparation

Celebrity makeup artist Erin Parsons knows a lot about makeup, and her unusual looks for Gigi Hadid are admired by the entire beauty world. Erin advises not to start tinting your eyelashes right away. To begin with, you should use a curling iron - a curler. With its help, eyelashes visually lengthen and lift. You need to lightly press the eyelashes at the roots, then unclench the curler and lift it a little higher along the eyelashes several times until they are worked out to the very tips.

Start from the roots

We continue to tell you how to properly and beautifully paint eyelashes with mascara. Celebrity makeup artist Elena Krygina advises first painting only the roots. Apply gentle pressure to lift the lashes slightly. Mascara on the roots will act as a frame and will prevent the eyelashes from drooping, and will also visually make them thicker. Only after this can you start coloring the lengths and ends.

Excess mascara - what to do?

If your client's eyelashes get more mascara than you intended, they will appear too thick and dense. To correct this oversight, Laurent Martin, international makeup trainer for Dior, recommends using a dry and clean spindle brow brush. You can also use a special eyelash brush if you have one in your arsenal.

Coloring the length and ends of eyelashes with mascara

Wondering how to properly apply mascara to eyelashes so that they are long and beautiful? Elena Krygina recommends that after coloring the roots of the eyelashes, you begin to design the length and tips. You should not immerse the brush in the tube again - the amount of mascara that remains on it after coloring the roots will be quite enough. Using slightly vibrating movements, stretch the mascara along the entire length of the eyelashes, and at the ends, roll the brush away from you so that there are no lumps left on them.

How to dye lower eyelashes

Advice from Peter Philips, creative director of Christian Dior Makeup, sounds like this: it is not necessary to paint over the lower eyelashes, because mascara most often gets imprinted under the eyes and girls look like raccoons. If you really want to highlight your lower eyelids, apply mascara only to the roots of your eyelashes, without touching the ends. This will make your eyes more expressive, but without dark circles on your skin.

In several layers

After you have applied the first thin coat of mascara, let it dry. Erin Parsons recommends applying a second coat of product only after drying for best results without the effect of glued lashes. After applying the second layer of mascara, your eyelashes will appear thicker, fuller and more luxurious, we promise!
