  • Use powder under the eye before applying mascara, because it tends to smudge more when the under-eye is oily due to makeup creams and concealers.

  • Use eyelash curler. Curled lashes make the eye appear bigger and brighter.

  • Use mascara primer, so that it helps to separate the lashes and provide extra coating to look thicker.

  • Apply mascara from root to tip. First wiggle it into the lash base and gently sweep it to the end. It helps to give your lashes illusion of being long and luxurious.

  • Avoid blinking until the mascara is dry and more particular when you apply second or third coat. Extra coat takes more time to dry.
