Mascara Made Easy Part II

Welcome to part two of Mascara Made Easy - here we focus specifically on application technique and tips.

 

Apply to Top Lashes Only

Many makeup artists recommend applying mascara only to the top lashes. If you want to make eyes appear wider, apply mascara to the bottom lashes but make sure you give bottom lashes a light touch. Not great at getting those bottom lashes? Try putting a tissue under them before application.

 

What it Means to "Apply a 2nd Coat" of Mascara

Confused by a magazine's directives to coat eyelashes with "no more than 3 coats of mascara?" It seems magazines have been giving these directions since forever. What they mean is to apply the coats of mascara all at once before the first coat dries. Once the first coat dries, you'll get clumps if you attempt another swipe at the lashes.

Thou Shalt Not Pump Wand In & Out of Tube

This only introduces air into the tube, which will cause your mascara to dry out sooner than it should.

 

Bend the Wand

A top makeup artist once gave his secret to his steady hand: he always bends his wand at a right angle.

 

Wait to Blink & Double Check Once Dry

Try to wait 5 seconds before blinking after you apply mascara or you could end up with mascara dots all along your eye lid. Also double check your lids before you step out just in case you’ve got those dots going on. It's embarrassing to find out hours later that you've done a poor makeup job on yourself.

The Art Of Perming Eyelashes

   

There's nothing quite like getting a tiny piece of your eyelid stuck in the eyelash curler when you start pressing the device down as hard as you can to achieve those perfect lashes that curl up and back over your eye. Or, maybe you've accidentally gotten a lash stuck in the eyelash curler - and had piece of precious hair plucked by accident.

Now, there's SimplePerm which is a eyelash permanent wave system.  Of course, 'permanent' is never permanent, even with the typical hair (on your head) type of process. Eyelash perms, like hair (on your head) perms are actually semi-permanent. SimplePerm takes only about 16 minutes in the salon, and can give you beautifully curved lashes for up to two full months.

It's a simplified process that takes a fraction of the time. Now your clients can enjoy curvy lashes, with this safe and effective product.
